A good commercial lawyer acts as a legal navigator for your business. They’ll provide legal perspectives for strategy decisions, help maintain regulatory compliance, identify legal risks, execute tactical functions like contract drafting, and help you chart a course through complex commercial environments.
If your business does end up in a dispute with another party, your commercial lawyer will help you broker a solution that protects the interests of your business. Ideally, this means swift, cost-effective outcomes that never reach court. If the other party is unwilling to compromise, though, your lawyer will be able to represent your interests in court too.
The most common issue that commercial lawyers deal with is contract breaches. Other issues include debt recovery, advertising disputes, IP infringements, unfair trade practices, consumer-related issues, and anti-competition behaviour.
Not all commercial law disputes are between commercial entities. Sometimes, individual customers might lodge a claim against a business; in other cases, regulators like ASIC and the ACCC might allege statutory breaches.
