Our team works closely with clients to understand their business operations, objectives, and future goals, ensuring that the legal advice we provide is practical and aligned with their vision. We specialise in various areas of commercial law, including business structuring, acquisitions and disposals, business succession planning, and corporate advice. Whether you are involved in mergers and acquisitions, management buyouts, or navigating complex corporate restructuring, we offer expert guidance to help you achieve your desired outcomes. Our expertise extends to business finance, mortgages, and advising on lending agreements and securities in the Australian market. We also provide support in areas such as trade practices, consumer law, and financial services, ensuring your business complies with relevant regulations. With our deep understanding of corporations law, we assist clients with structuring their business to optimise growth and protect their interests, offering invaluable advice on commercial contracts and other essential legal aspects of doing business in Australia.

Conveyancing

At Commercial & Legal Services, we deliver award-winning conveyancing services supported by South Australia’s most experienced team. Whether you’re navigating a straightforward residential purchase or a complex commercial property transaction, our team is equipped to provide comprehensive solutions tailored to your needs. With recommendations from the Australian Institute of Conveyancers (AIC) and the Real Estate Institute of South Australia (REISA), we are committed to ensuring seamless and efficient service at competitive rates. Our residential conveyancing services are designed to remove the stress from buying or selling a home. From contract preparation and review to liaising with banks and real estate agents, we handle every detail with precision to ensure a smooth transaction. For businesses, we provide expert guidance in commercial property matters, including acquisitions, sales, and large-scale developments. Our business conveyancing services also cater to clients buying or selling businesses, offering thorough due diligence, contract negotiation, and tailored advice to secure successful outcomes. With a focus on professionalism and client satisfaction, we strive to make every property transaction a positive and straightforward experience.

Estate Planning

At Commercial & Legal Services, we recognise the emotional and practical challenges that come with dealing with probate and deceased estates, particularly during a difficult time of loss. If you have been named as an executor in a will, it is essential to determine whether probate is required, as this process is essential for the Supreme Court to verify the will and the executor’s authority. Our team provides expert advice on navigating probate, including managing tax affairs, paying outstanding bills, and addressing funeral expenses. If a person has passed without a will, we can also assist in obtaining Letters of Administration, which grants the administrator authority to manage the estate according to state legislation. We also assist with the preparation of Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Care Directives to ensure that your assets and medical decisions are legally protected. A well-drafted will can help avoid potential family disputes and ensure your wishes are followed. Our experienced team works closely with clients to document their wishes regarding asset distribution and decision-making in the event they are no longer able to manage their affairs. We also advise on Enduring Powers of Attorney and Advance Care Directives, which appoint someone to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf should you lose the ability to do so.

Family Law

At Commercial & Legal Services, we understand the emotional and financial challenges that come with separation or divorce, and our team is here to guide you through this difficult time with professionalism and discretion. We offer a commercially focused approach to help you achieve the best possible outcome, ensuring the process is as smooth and efficient as possible. Whether you're dealing with property settlements, custody disputes, or navigating divorce proceedings, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Our team can assist in documenting agreements through Consent Orders, which are binding court orders concerning financial or child-related matters, or Binding Financial Agreements, which offer a formal property settlement without court endorsement. Additionally, we help establish Parenting Plans, which outline care and custody arrangements for children. In cases where court intervention is necessary, we provide expert guidance in applying for both interim and final court orders, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected throughout the legal process.

Litigation & Disputes

At Commercial & Legal Services, our Commercial Litigation Team is dedicated to providing practical and commercially focused solutions for dispute resolution and litigation across a wide range of legal areas. With a deep understanding of the complexities involved, we assist clients in navigating disputes efficiently and effectively, aiming for outcomes that align with their business and personal objectives. Our experience extends to disputes involving contracts, partnerships, leasing, insolvency, and even intellectual property matters such as copyright and trademark issues. We prioritise resolving disputes outside of court where possible, offering mediation, arbitration, and negotiation services to minimise costs and stress. However, when litigation becomes necessary, our skilled lawyers are well-versed in prosecuting or defending claims in any Australian jurisdiction. Whether you are dealing with a building dispute, an unfair dismissal claim, or a business-related disagreement, our team provides clear, sensible advice tailored to your unique situation, ensuring your rights and interests are safeguarded at every step.

Property Law

Property law forms the cornerstone of Commercial & Legal’s expertise. With origins as a property-focused law firm, we have built a reputation for providing specialised, tailored advice on property transactions of all sizes. Whether assisting with small residential purchases or advising on complex, large-scale developments, our team is dedicated to delivering results that meet the unique needs of our diverse clientele, including families, businesses, developers, and institutions. Our comprehensive services cover all aspects of property law, from negotiating property contracts and managing residential and commercial conveyancing to structuring land divisions and mixed-use developments.
