Expertise
Employees are often privy to sensitive commercial information and intangible assets during the course of their employment. SWS Lawyers always recommends employers have a well-drafted employment contract in place to protect our clients against the misuse of their intangible assets.
SWS Lawyers assists our clients in responding to breaches of confidentiality and misuse of intangible assets by their employees, including issuing letters of demand and cease and desist letters to employees in relation to post-employment conduct and, if necessary, representing our clients in Court proceedings to protect their business interests.
We also assist our clients in disputes involving the ownership of intellectual property developed by an employee during the course of their employment.
SWS Lawyers also assists our clients take action in respect of other conduct an employee may engage in, such as disparagement of the business to customers and suppliers.
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.
