Expertise
Ensuring you have an appropriate business structure in place at the outset is a critical element in establishing any business venture. The team at SWS Lawyers regularly advise clients in relation to the formation of companies, trusts, partnerships and joint ventures. Not only can we assist in deciding the most suitable business structure for your circumstances, we can also assist in documenting and establishing these structures once a decision has been made.
We work closely with other professional advisors to ensure efficient and tax-effective business structures are put in place to maximise your business and financial goals. Our talented lawyers can advise you on all aspects of business structuring including asset protection, decision-making and dispute resolution, profit distribution and business succession and exit. Dealing with potentially ‘difficult’ matters up front can often avoid expensive and disruptive disputes down the track.
In addition to providing business structuring advice, our team is able to draw on its merger and acquisition and capital raising skills to assist clients with merger, acquisition and growth strategies as well as advising on sale or exit strategies. SWS Lawyers can also advise clients in relation to capital raising or fundraising requirements.
Their approach is always professional and delivered at a standard comparable to a capital city law firm. It is the clear strategic direction that has always impressed me about the SWS team.
The knowledge SWS has about private equity and managing M&A deals is very valuable. David & Andrew were able to help me navigate the issues and get me the exit I was looking for, while also supporting the other shareholders who remained with the business.
We believe their ability to combine first rate legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions. We use SWS because of their ability, not their post code.
Extreme gratitude to David and Andrew for all your help with our transaction. You were both fantastic to deal with (as were the rest of the SWS team) and certainly made the negotiations and dealings easy to handle for us through the whole process. I would certainly have no hesitation at all recommending you for any future work. Again, I appreciate all your assistance.
The combination of rare legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions.
SWS has assisted with advice on securing and exercising complex property and commercial contractual rights and assisting with protracted contractual management and implementation. We value legal experts who can offer pragmatic and commercial legal solutions for our complicated matters. SWS Lawyers has consistently met these criteria.
The team at SWS Lawyers have already showcased their professionalism, commitment, positive can-do attitude and insight into our needs and have a clear understanding of the disability sector.
