Commercial & Corporate Law in New South Wales: what is different

Retail leases are governed by the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW), with disputes mediated through the NSW Small Business Commissioner before NCAT.

Questions to ask before you instruct

  1. Do you act for businesses of my size and in my industry?
  2. Can this be done on a fixed or capped fee?
  3. Who in the team will do the work, and at what rate?
  4. What are the two or three biggest risks you see in this deal?
  5. How do you handle the tax and accounting interface?

Costs and funding

Transactional work is often scoped and quoted in stages; ongoing advice is usually hourly or on retainer. Ask for a written scope. Small business disputes in New South Wales can often be taken to NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), where costs exposure is lower than in court. Lawyers must give you costs disclosure under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) before or as soon as practicable after starting work.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a shareholders agreement?

If there is more than one owner, almost always. It covers decision-making, funding, what happens when someone wants out, and how disputes are resolved, none of which the standard constitution deals with well.

Can my landlord refuse to renew my lease?

Unless the lease contains an option to renew, generally yes. Retail lease legislation in New South Wales does add notice obligations and some protections; check your lease and the Act.

What is due diligence when buying a business?

A structured review of the business’s finances, contracts, leases, employees, IP, licences and liabilities before you commit, so the price and the contract terms reflect what you are actually buying.
