Commercially minded legal advice, delivered efficiently by an AI-native practice

Running a business means making decisions that carry legal, financial and tax consequences. Our commercial law team helps you make those decisions with confidence, giving clear advice that protects your interests and supports your growth.

What sets us apart is how we work. Our practice runs on AI-native back-end systems that streamline drafting, document review and matter management. That means faster turnaround, more predictable costs and more of our lawyers’ time spent on the strategic advice that matters most to you.

Our commercial practice is led by Tristan Burt, Head of Commercial. Tristan combines deep legal knowledge with sharp business sense, so your advice is both technically sound and commercially realistic.

AI-native service delivery

We have built AI into the foundations of how we deliver legal services. It isn’t an add-on.

• Faster turnaround: AI-assisted drafting and review shorten the time from instruction to advice.

• Greater efficiency: automating routine tasks means you pay for expertise, not administration.

• Consistency and accuracy: structured workflows and quality checks help make sure nothing is missed.

• Lawyer-led, always: every piece of advice is reviewed and approved by an experienced lawyer. Technology supports our professional judgement; it does not replace it.

How we can help

Buying and selling a business
We guide buyers and sellers through due diligence, negotiation, the sale agreement and settlement. AI-assisted due diligence helps us review documents quickly and flag risks early.

Commercial and retail leasing
We act for landlords and tenants on new leases, lease reviews, assignments, renewals and disputes. We make sure your lease works for your business and complies with the retail leasing laws.

Shareholders’ agreements
A well-drafted shareholders’ agreement prevents disputes before they start. We prepare tailored agreements covering decision-making, share transfers, exit arrangements and deadlock resolution.

Commercial contracts
We draft, review and negotiate the contracts your business relies on. These include supply and distribution agreements, service agreements, terms and conditions, and joint ventures. Efficient review means you can sign with confidence, without delay.

Tax advice
Commercial decisions often have tax implications. We advise on the tax consequences of business structures, transactions and restructures, so you can plan effectively and avoid costly surprises.

Commercial litigation and dispute resolution
When disputes arise, we give strategic advice aimed at a timely, cost-effective resolution. We use negotiation and mediation where we can, and we have the experience to run litigation in the NSW and Federal Courts when needed.
