Legal Services for Business Restructuring

Changing your legal structure is a significant decision that requires careful consideration of your business’s current circumstances, tax obligations, and plans. At West Perth Legal, we take the time to understand the unique aspects of your business to provide tailored legal advice. Our team will work with you and your accountant to help you evaluate the benefits and potential challenges of changing legal structure and recommend the best course of action for your circumstances.

We provide legal support during the change process, including:

Transitioning from Sole Proprietorships to Companies or Trusts: If your business has grown beyond the scope of a sole proprietorship, we can assist with creating a company or trust structure to better protect your personal assets and provide tax benefits.

Converting Partnerships to Companies or Trusts: For partnerships seeking limited liability or more streamlined management, we can help establish a company or trust while ensuring smooth transitions for all partners.

Document Preparation and Registration: Our team will handle the drafting of new constitutions, trust deeds, and other necessary documents, as well as registrations with regulatory bodies like ASIC.

With experience in business law, West Perth Legal ensures that your transition to a new legal structure is conducted professionally. Contact us for an obligation free quote.
