Did you know that…

  1. Thousands of businesses each year go into liquidation/ receivership because they fail to manage contracts and debts effectively and efficiently – Don’t let this happen to you!
  2. A company or group of companies is not allowed to engage in any conduct which lessens competition in the market – If you are affected by such conduct, you may be entitled to sue for monetary compensation.
  3. A company or person is not allowed to be misleading or deceptive in a commercial dealing especially if a contract is involved – this often happens when buying a business. If you have been misled or deceived, you may be entitled to sue for monetary compensation.
  4. A director of a company has a legal obligation to the company and its shareholders to act in the best interests of the company. An aggrieved shareholder is able to sue a director who breaches this duty for damages.
  5. A discretionary trust is a lawful and useful way of distributing income to your family members.

We look forward to hearing from you.
