Business Sales and Acquisitions
Our firm regularly acts on behalf of clients who are either buying or selling a business. We also regularly accept referral work from many of Melbourne’s leading commercial agents and business brokers.
The decision to buy or sell a business is a major financial and legal decision. The result of incorrect advice can be costly in terms of money, stress and lost opportunities.
