Choosing the right legal structure from the outset is crucial for minimising risks and maximising growth potential.

We can work with you to set up a structure that is optimal for your goal.
Whether you are selling or buying a business, or assets of a business, we can assist with the legal aspects of the transaction, including legal due diligence, business sale agreement, business settlement, share sale agreement, shareholders agreement, partnership agreement and more.
Often, contracting with a major company as a supplier or service provider requires you to enter a complex and detailed contract. West Perth Legal can assist you with reviewing and negotiating contracts such as an Independent Contractor Agreement, Subcontractor Agreement, Consultancy Agreement, Services Agreement, Equipment Lease Agreement or Employment Agreement. It is vital that you review your legal contract before signing to ensure that the scope of work is clearly defined, and your liability is limited.
