The Leading Property Lawyers Sydney Locals Can Rely On

Australian Business & Property Lawyers (ABP Lawyers) is one of the leading property lawyers Sydney locals rely on to always provide expert and client-focused advice. Based in the heart of the city, our boutique and specialised practice has a 4.9/5 rating on Google because we always put the needs of our clients first.

One of our key points of difference is that our team of professionals receive dedicated training in customer service so that you are never disappointed with our level of service. With larger practices, you'll need to go through layers of assistants with your matter. Not only does that result in delays in getting things done, but it doesn't leave you feeling like your concerns are top of mind for the lawyer. With ABP Lawyers, you'll be able to contact your senior lawyer directly, getting an immediate response and the peace of mind that they're dedicated to your matter.

At ABP Lawyers, we provide legal services in the area of property law, with a particular emphasis on the purchase and sale of real estate. We have considerable experience in this field.

Our team is made up of highly qualified attorneys with a wide range of experience and skills to draw upon. On any issues that may arise during the purchase or sale of a property, as well as any other issues that may arise during the sale or purchase of a property, we are able to provide professional advice to our clients based on our experience. We recognise that selling or purchasing a home or commercial property is a significant decision and a significant matter for the majority of people. We provide services to people who are involved in property transactions all over Australia.

What You Can Expect From Us

At ABP Lawyers we have built our reputation for being the leading property lawyers Sydney has to offer on several key qualities.

1) We are experienced. Our team has 15 years of experience in all our areas of practice, and because we don't try to do everything, we have a deep understanding of every facet of property law. You can rely on us to provide you expert and qualified guidance.

2) We are responsive. When engaging with our team of property lawyers Sydney locals can be sure that we will respond to queries within the same day. We understand that there is nothing worse than losing a good deal due to delays by lawyers.

3) We take the time to understand your needs. A black-and-white reading of the law is often unhelpful to your needs. We take a different approach. At the start of any engagement, we take the time to talk with you and learn your commercial interests and concerns. Our outcomes are results-orientated and aim to deliver a commercial outcome.

In short, we view ourselves as more than just a team of lawyers. We are a partner that will go through the challenging times with our clients, as well as celebrate the successes together. That's why many of our clients have been with us for more than a decade, and what makes us the best property lawyers Sydney has to offer.

Our Property Services

Some examples of the services we offer are:

Purchasing and selling residential, commercial and industrial properties;

Drafting and reviewing commercial, industrial and retail leases;

Drafting joint venture agreements, put and call option agreements and other arrangements

Acting for developers in the pre-sale of off-the-plan properties, site acquisition, by-laws, easements, restrictions and covenants.

With the volatility of the Sydney property market, you need the leading property lawyers in Sydney on your side to ensure that you are adequately protected.

Driven By Fair Pricing

A further reason we are the leading property lawyers in Sydney is that we are focused on value adding service: We are not "clock watchers". Our unyielding client-focused nature means that we offer fixed quotes for most of our matters. We believe that clients should have full transparency with regards to fees, and our reliability is why our clients continue to come to us for their legal matters.

Our commitment to excellence in service is why we were honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.

Multi-lingual for Sydney's ethnic communities

In addition to English, our team is fluent in both major Chinese dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese. Through our service, clients who don't have English as their first language can be assured that their intentions are not "lost in translation" and won't run into unpleasant surprises through the legal system. This is why it is so important to us that we provide a high level of service. Our clients can trust that we are genuinely invested in their success and can represent them not just as a lawyer, but as a partner.

Contact us today to start the conversation - we guarantee that we will respond to you right away. Sydney supports a vibrant and thriving multi-ethnic community. It means a lot to us that we can support and help clients of different ethnic backgrounds navigate the complexity of property law.

For many business owners, the sale of thebusiness - the "exit"

For many business owners, the sale of thebusiness - the "exit" - is the end goal. Building the business up over years tothen sell it and either retire comfortably or move on to the next ambitiousproject is what drives a lot of entrepreneurs. If you've worked hard to buildthe business, then the payoff can be significant.

There is a lot involved in selling abusiness, and for this reason it's a good idea to engage business purchase solicitors early in thenegotiations or transaction. They will work with you to understand yourbusiness and objectives as well as to ensure that the terms and transactionachieves those objectives. However, some of the key things that you'll need tokeep in mind include:

1) Make sure all the financialrecords are up to date and as correct as possible. Typically, the individual orgroup looking to buy your business will want to see a full set of accounts ofthe past three to five years.

2) Formalising all your assets.Trademarking the business name and logo, as well as any other key assets orpieces of collateral, can add to the value of the sale. As can patents and anyother IP you might have ownership of. Entering into formal contracts with yourbest clients, key employees and suppliers can also bring value by increasingcertainty that the business will continue to perform after the sale.

3) Make sure your social media andweb presence are up to date. Most modern buyers will want to see some kind ofevidence that you're engaged in digital media in some way. Having an audienceadds to the perceived brand value of the business.

4) Update the lease on anyproperty. The new owners will appreciate being able to come in and take overthe company without the potential re-negotiations or premises move hanging overtheir head. This is particularly important for retail businesses such asrestaurants and café which rely on the location of the premises. Remember, oneof the things that you really want to do is make the transfer of the businessas easy as possible.

5) Get a buyer's information packready. This should include information on employees and their job roles, thecompetitive landscape and SWOT analysis on both your business and your rivals, listof plant and equipment, what is included in the sale, and testimonials andother advocacy for your brand. It's important that you are honest with thisinformation up-front, because if a potential buyer starts noticing discrepanciesand isn't sure about details of your business, then the sale negotiationbecomes that much more challenging.
How business purchase solicitors help
Finding the right business purchase solicitors is essentialfor ensuring that the transaction goes through smoothly, protecting yourinterests while not being overzealous in the business sale. By taking the timeto get to know your business and operation, your solicitors will help walk youthrough sale process, what to beware off and how to present the business in themost effective way for your prospective buyer.

Additionally, we will help you draw up andreview the contract and ensure that you're happy with the way that the negotiationsare going. Even with the sale of a small business, the potential nuances andliabilities in the sale contract can be significant, so a critical role that business purchase solicitorsundertake is ensuring that you're getting the terms from the sale that youexpected to.

Finally, we will then help you to finalisethe transaction and ensure that the exchange happens seamlessly.

There aren't many things more frighteningas a business owner

There aren't many things more frighteningas a business owner than having your business sued. It can feel like anexistential threat to the company, and certainly you're going to be concernedabout how much it's going to cost, and how long it's going to take.

‍
Why companies are sued
It's not that uncommon for businesses to besued, even the best businesses get sued and there are a multitude of reasonsthat it might happen, including:

‍

Liability:It's impossible to negate all risks of liability (and that's why businesses areadvised to take out insurance against the most likely risks). Liability canrange across the gamut, including product liability, property liability, cyberliability, business liability. If a customer or client is harmed whileinteracting with your business, you might be sued for this.

‍

Agreement Disputes: These can cover anything from payment issues to contractualdisputes, as well as shareholder disputes. These are the most common type ofdispute which arise in relation to business.

‍

Theft of Confidential Information: If confidential information is disclosed without authority from you- and that can mean anything from a cyber-attack to the physical removal ofpaper files by stakeholders and employees - then you could be sued for damagesby the aggrieved party.

‍

IP Claims: breachof intellectual property rights can include a range of issues such as similartrading name and logo to copying of procedures and processes. IP can be aminefield to navigate and its why organisations should always be careful toregister trademarks and only use assets that they have directly commissioned orlicensed.

‍

Employment Disputes: whether an employee is claiming that they have been underpaid orunfairly dismissed, employee claims can have a negative impact on the morale ofremaining employees. Care should be given to company procedures and complianceto avoid claims and fines.

‍
What to do when sued
If you're a Sydney-based business that hasbeen served with lawsuit papers, the first thing you should do is contact theleading commercial lawyersin Sydney. They'll review your case to determine the whether the claimhas a basis and formula a strategy to deal with the claim in an effective and cost-efficientmanner.

‍

Take great care if you wish to contact theplaintiff as some might view this as a sign of capitulation. A lawsuit is oftenthe result of a communication breakdown and where the relationship is at apoint where there is a level of animosity, it is best to allow the lawyers tohandle communication.

‍

Allowing us to manage your dispute willallow you to focus on the health of your business and ensure that all scenariosand outcomes are considered and help you to limit the fallout of a negativeoutcome.

‍

Before any claims befall your business, youshould consider having an obligation free consultation with us to discuss anylegal documents you should implement as well as asset protection for youpersonally and your business. Typically, a business owner will bear someliability should a lawsuit succeed, and you should not assume that yourinsurance agency is going to come through for you.

‍

Once we have assessed the lawsuit, we'llprovide you with recommendations, based on how valid we believe the complaintto be. We will never recommend fighting the claim all the way to the end ifthis can be avoided. The longer the lawsuit continues for, the more expensive,stressful and unpredictable it can become. This is why we call the area of law"dispute resolution" while other lawyers call it "litigation".

‍

Being sued can cause immense distress andbe overwhelming, but the main thing to remember when speaking to us is that wewill always be honest and help take a commercial perspective on how to resolvethe dispute. Remember that this is about your business, and the path of leastresistance to an outcome will be better than digging in and potentially losing more.

‍

If you have been served with a lawsuit,contact the leading commerciallawyers Sydney has to offer today.

Need a commercial lease lawyer?

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, there are times that you may need to access the services of a commercial lease lawyer. As disputes in commercial leasing are not uncommon and the consequences for a business (particularly in retail) and to the investment of the lessor can be dire, it is important to ensure that disputes are avoided where possible and where they arise, resolved quickly and commercially.

A good commercial lease lawyer will help guide you through your rights and responsibilities as either landlord or tenant under state regulations to resolve the conflict, and ensure that your rights, property and business are protected.

Estimate
your fixed professional
fee here

We see ourselves as a genuine extension and partner of your business. Our comprehensive understanding of contracts and the law, honed over 15 years of experience in the field, helps us stand-out as one of the best commercial lawyers in Sydney. We take the time to understand your goals, motivations, expectations and pressures and provide advice and strategies towards achieving those goals. In that way we offer a true value-adding service.

What a commercial lease lawyer will do

At Australian Business & Property Lawyers (ABP Lawyers), we offer our clients a wide range of different services in relation to commercial leasing, including (though not limited to):

Helping landlords arrange for appropriate bank guarantees

Reviewing or drafting of licence agreements

Our services are comprehensive and we engage deeply with our customers to understand what their priorities are with respect to their property or business. This is what makes us the best property law firm in Sydney for assistance with your commercial, retail or industrial lease.

Experience matters

With over 15 years of experience in supporting businesses across a wide variety of sectors, at ABP Lawyers we see ourselves as a true partner to your business and interests. We celebrate the successes with you and aim to limit the extent of your losses through the difficult times with proven outcomes.

We also seek to add value in everything that we do. We're a specialist boutique law firm that allows us to have direct relationships with our customers. Larger firms will have clients deal with assistants and rarely speak directly to a lawyer. When you come to us, you will have direct contact with your commercial lease lawyer whenever you need them.

We also understand the need for expediency. When you reach out to us, you can expect an answer promptly. It's for these reasons (and more) that we have been honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.

Integrity and transparency are our hallmarks

When you engage with a commercial lease lawyer, you want to have full transparency; a mixture of sound and honest advice and guidance, and clarity on fees. We will only ever be honest with our clients - even if the advice is difficult - and we have adopted a fixed fees approach to our work wherever possible (and when it isn't possible you will be given full transparency into costs). We don't watch the clock and we genuinely care about our clients. Most of our clients have been with us for many years, because they know they can have the honest conversation with us, and that we will always support them ethically and positively as we grow our businesses together.

Multi-Lingual For Sydney's Ethnic Communities

Across Sydney, many of the landlords of commercial, and industrial property are from the city's vibrant multi-ethnic community. For these groups of people, being able to trust that they understand the law, their rights and obligations, is critical, but legal documents can be dense and filled with jargon. Having someone that can communicate with them and interpret these documents in plain language is a valuable service that a commercial lease lawyer can offer. In addition to English, our team is fluent in both major Chinese dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese. Through our service, landlords that don't have English as their first language can be assured that their intentions are not "lost in translation" and won't run into unpleasant surprises through the legal system, and they can then focus their energies on driving the best possible outcomes for their business.

And, for our clients that regularly deal with the multilingual business community, our ability to act as a "language bridge" will help ensure a positive outcome for all parties.

If you are in need of a commercial lease lawyer, or have a potential legal issue that you're not sure what the next steps should be, please contact us on (02) 8880 6505. We can assist in all matters, and we would love the opportunity to start a conversation about how we can help.

There are many law firms that will claim tobe "strategic", but what does that mean, and how does it help your business?Finding the right Sydneybusiness lawyers that can act as a strategic partner can help you save timeand money.

‍
What Does A Strategic Lawyer Do?
A strategic lawyer aims to become a genuinepartner to your business and hopes to develop a relationship that extend beyondjust an advisory role. Where some law firms will be happy to simply reviewcontracts and represent you in legal matters, a strategic lawyer will go aboveand beyond to actively aim to provide a holistic advice on how to protect andgrow your business.

There are five keyways that this willassist your business:

‍

1) A strategic lawyer is outcomefocused: A strategic lawyer will take the time to understand your business, andthe sector that it operates in. They will then focus on the most commonproblems facing for your business within that sector and provide you with theadvice to protect your business which is tailored to the particular industry.

2) A strategic lawyer isproactive: Rather than waiting for you to raise issues or call on a lawyer, astrategic lawyer will identify where you will need support and will make suggestionsahead of time. This can help you address issues early and be proactive inmanaging your business.

3) A strategic lawyer costeffective: Because a strategic lawyer aims to have a long-term relationshipwith their clients, they will not approach each engagement as a transactionalopportunity to extract a maximum fee. Rather, the lawyer will look for ways tominimise your costs and always keep the financial health of your business inmind.

4) A strategic lawyer will alwaysaim for an efficient resolution: Extended legal matters can affect the abilityfor a business to operate and affect its cash flow. Furthermore, it candistract the owners when they should be focusing on the business. A strategiclawyer will look for the pathway to the quickest resolution in all legalmatters with a focus on a commercial outcome.

5) A strategic lawyer will alwaysbe available: With many of the more transactional lawyers, you need to gothrough layers of assistants and processes before you'll be able to speak toyour actual lawyer. It can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. Becausethe strategic lawyer considers the relationship with their client to beparamount, you will be able to contact them directly, and be certain thatyou'll hear back from them in a timely fashion.

‍

There are many kinds of lawyers. There aretransactional lawyers, who will support you on a case-by-case basis.

Changes to property tax in NSW – what they mean for you

Changes to property tax in NSW – what they mean for you

# data[].attributes.body
With the NSW election coming up later this year.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With the NSW election coming up later this year.

With the NSW election coming up later this year, both major parties are presenting plans that will result in a change to he way stamp duty works for first home buyers across the state. As property lawyers in Sydney, our clients are regularly asking us about what this might mean for them.

Both parties are favouring different approaches. For first home buyers, the incumbent Perrottet L/NP government passed legislation last year that allowed first home buyers that are purchasing property under $1.5 million in value to choose between paying an upfront stamp duty, or an annual $400 property tax + 0.3 per cent of the property's land value.

Meanwhile, the opposition ALP party, led by Chris Minns, is proposing to eliminate stamp duty on properties of up to$800,000. Furthermore, it would apply a concession rate for those between$800,000 and $1 million. Minns is also promising to repeal the current L/NP legislation if elected.

‍

L/NP leader, Dominic Perrottet, has previously been highly critical of stamp duty as a tax in general, however, with stamp duty bringing the state around $15 billion per year, he has also said there is nothing that can be done to remove it entirely without federal government assistance. On that basis, if the L/NP were to win the next election, there would likely be no further changes to stamp duty and home purchases, at least for the short term.

Meanwhile, if the ALP were to win it's important to understand that the elimination of stamp duty would only apply to first home buyers, and it does not apply to vacant property. Only those properties with an existing dwelling will be eligible.

This is the main change being debated. There are, however, some other changes to property tax that buyers should be aware of:

1) The foreign surcharge for land has increased from two per cent to four per cent

This won't affect Australian citizens but does affect permanent residents who have not been physically in Australia for at least 200 days in the calendar year. It also affects discretionary trusts without an exclusion for foreign persons.

2) A surcharge refund for property developers

The surcharge purchaser duty or land tax can be refunded if, after the transfer of residential land, the purchaser then uses the land wholly or predominantly for commercial or industrial purposes .This is a useful benefit for developers and investors that wish to convert residential property for another purpose.

3) A new equity scheme

Single parents, singles over the age of 50,nurses, teachers and police officers can benefit from a shared equity trial scheme. Through this scheme, the government will contribute an equity share of up to 40 per cent for a new property, or up to 30 per cent for an existing property valued at least than $950,000 in Sydney or other major regional centres across the state. For regional areas, properties valued at less than$600,000 are covered. To benefit from this the gross income of the house hold must be no more than $90,000 for a single person or $120,000 for couples, and the participant must have a minimum deposit of two per cent of the purchase price.

There is no indication of what will happen to these three changes in the event of a change of government.

‍
So, what should I do?
Most of the changes only affect first homebuyers and foreign buyers. If you are in any way concerned by the implications, though, you should contact our expert team of property lawyers in Sydney, and we will walk you through what impact, if any, the changes to the property market will have on you.

Hiring a lawyer may seem like a luxury when trying to keep your overhead low as a business owner. Although it may seem like a waste of time, energy and money initially, good small business lawyers will prove invaluable quickly as they offer you different services that add value to the company.

Why Small Businesses Must Have a Lawyer.docx

# data[].attributes.body
When you're running a small business, keeping control of costs is always a priority.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you're running a small business, keeping control of costs is always a priority.

When you're running a small business, keeping control of costs is always a priority, and it might seem like an extravagance to recruit the services of a lawyer. However, the value of good small business lawyers will very quickly become apparent, and they will end up saving you significantly in terms of money, time and stress.

‍

Here are just five areas where small business lawyers add meaningful value to their client's operations:

‍

1) Assistance with contracts and other legal documents

From employment agreements to arrangements with suppliers and customers, contracts are legally binding documents, and the language in them needs to be accurate and precise. The objective of each legal contract is to protect your interests, set out the agreement between parties and to avoid lengthy disputes. Each document must be customised to your specific circumstances to ensure that it achieves your objectives.

Your lawyer will ensure that your contracts are written in conformity with local laws, represent your interest fully and tailored to your circumstances to minimise any costly disputes.

‍

2) When your business faces legal challenges

Whether it might be a former employee trying to sue you, a claim by a customer or you are seeking resolution of a dispute with a supplier. Even the smallest of business can windup facing legal challenges from any number of sources, and when it does, the right small business lawyers can help fight the challenges or mitigate the damages.

‍

3) Chasing payments

It is an unfortunate reality that invoices can go unpaid, well beyond the terms agreed on. When you've run out of patience for polite follow-ups and the client is no longer returning your call, it's time to get a lawyer involved. When a lawyer sends a collections notice, it has a higher chance of getting paid and if payment is not received, legal proceedings can assist with recovering the debt and your legal cost.

‍

4) IP and branding management

Even the smallest of businesses have intellectual property that is worth protecting, from the business name to the logo, as well as design, client lists and processes. Registering, managing and protecting these assets can be hugely time consuming and costly if it is not done correctly. A lawyer can ensure that the most important assets of your business are protected.

‍

5) Strategic advice

Finally, good small business lawyers will consider themselves to be partners to your business, providing consulting and guidance around legal, regulatory, and best business practices to help your business operate in the most effective way possible. The strategic value that a good lawyer can add to the development of your business, making them an invaluable and long-term asset to your business health such as improving cashflow, minimising disputes and protecting your interests.

Starting A Business? These Are The Questions You Should Be Asking Your Lawyer

# data[].attributes.body
Starting a business can be both exciting and overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Starting a business can be both exciting and overwhelming.

Starting a business can be both exciting and overwhelming. It requires a significant amount of planning, preparation, and decision-making. One of the most important steps in the process is seeking legal advice to ensure that you are aware of all the legal requirements and regulations that apply to your business. This is especially true of small businesses and finding the right small business lawyers to support you.

When starting a new business planning is crucial. However, most small business owners only plan for the next 12 months and focus only on the operation of the business such as finding suppliers and marketing to potential customers. The failure of 90% of businesses which end up in litigation or liquidation is the lack of planning for the longer term, whether for success or failure i.e. the exit strategy.

Here are just some of the questions that good small business lawyers will help their clients work through when starting up a business.

‍

What type of business structure should I choose? There are several business structures to choose from, including sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), corporation, joint venture and trusts. Each structure has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the right choice will depend on your specific business needs and goals. A lawyer can help you weigh the pros and cons of each structure and choose the one that is right for your business.

What permits and licenses do I need to obtain? Different businesses may require different permits and licenses, depending on the type of business, location, and industry. A lawyer can help you determine which permits and licenses you need to obtain and guide you through the process of obtaining them

How should I handle contracts and agreements? Contracts and agreements are critical to the success of a business. They establish the terms of a business relationship and set out the responsibilities and obligations of each party including with your investors, partners, clients and suppliers. A lawyer can help you draft contracts and agreements that protect your interests and ensure that your business is operating within the bounds of the law.

What should I do to protect my intellectual property? Intellectual property, such as trademarks, copyrights, and patents, is an important asset for many businesses. A lawyer can help you understand the different types of intellectual property protection available and assist you in registering your intellectual property and protecting it from infringement.

What do I need to know about tax laws and regulations? Tax laws and regulations can be complex and confusing, especially for new businesses. A lawyer can help you understand the tax obligations of your business and ensure you can maximise the tax outcome for you and your business.

‍

How can I minimize my liability and protect my personal assets? As a business owner, you are vulnerable to a range of claims, from your investors, partners, customer and suppliers. A lawyer can help you understand the steps you can take to minimise your liability and protect your personal assets.

‍

What other legal issues should I be aware of? Starting a business involves a variety of legal issues, including employment law and consumer protection laws, among others. A lawyer can help you understand the legal requirements and regulations that apply to your business and advise you on how to comply with these requirements.

‍

A good lawyer is critical to the process of setting up a business -without having the support of someone that understands liability and risk, a small business owner very often ends up losing more money than they have to. But by asking the right questions and finding the right team of small business lawyers that have experience in helping businesses like yours work through the process, you can ensure that your business is properly structured, compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, and protected from potential legal issues.

Sydney's property market may be experiencing a cooling period at the moment, but over the last decade property prices have been rising rapidly. Sydney's average property price has grown by 449 percent over the past 30 years, with a 24 percent average increase expected in 2021 alone. In that context, some experts suggest a further easing should be expected over the next year, but property ownership has strong long-term prospects.

In this market, there is an excellent opportunity for developers to acquire a more affordable site.

Property development remains a hot space and one well worth getting involved in for those with entrepreneurial spirit. As a result, you'll need reliable property development lawyers on hand to help you navigate the market's complexities at times. Because of this, it can be a challenging sector to get involved in.

In addition to contract negotiation and zoning regulations, property development lawyers can provide advice on many other topics. Additionally, they can ensure that your interests are protected throughout the entire process by helping you understand any legal implications of your decisions. When it comes to property development, there are several key considerations you'll need to take into account.

First and foremost, you should determine what purchasing entity is most appropriate for your development. This can be a company, trust, or even in your own name. Having the right entity can mean maximum finance and mini-missing risk while offering tax flexibility. The structure you choose will affect finance, tax and asset protection.

In order to maximize the outcome of a development, it can be important to structure the deal appropriately. To structure a deal appropriately, a variety of instruments can be used, including a joint venture agreement or a put and call option tailored to the individual circumstances. Your property development deal should be structured in accordance with the advice of property development lawyers.

Planning laws are also constantly changing, as the state government continues to grapple with the housing crisis it faces, and election cycles mean that both major parties are constantly reevaluating laws and making new promises. Your property development business needs expert lawyers on an ongoing basis who can help you stay compliant with the regulatory environment.

In addition, property developers in Sydney are facing increasing competition. Land is at a premium in prime real estate areas, so protecting your interests from aggressive tactics is crucial. Property development lawyers can make sure contracts are reviewed quickly and accurately so that you can secure the best lot before your competitors.

It is important to select a team of lawyers who will partner with you on a long-term basis when looking for the right team. During the earliest stages of your development project, as you research the area for opportunities, to completion and sale, you should depend on them for support.

A trademark, copyright, or patent is a valuable asset for many businesses, so what should I do to protect it?

You can save a lot of time and money by finding the right Sydney business lawyers.

What Do Strategic Lawyers Do?

Strategic Sydney business lawyers aim to become true partners in your business and to foster a relationship that goes beyond providing advisory services. Strategic lawyers go above and beyond to actively provide comprehensive advice on how to protect and grow your business, while some law firms simply review contracts and represent you in court.

There are five key ways in which this will benefit your business:

In addition to understanding your business and the sector where it operates, strategic lawyers will take the time to understand its objectives. As a result, your business will receive advice tailored to the challenges it faces based on the most common problems it faces.

You can handle issues early and manage your business more effectively when you work with strategic lawyers rather than waiting for you to raise issues or contact them.

In order to establish a lasting relationship with their clients, a strategic lawyer will consider each engagement as a long-term relationship. Indeed, a strategic lawyer will consider ways to minimise your costs while maintaining your business's financial health.

Legal disputes can negatively impact a business's cash flow and hinder its ability to operate. Therefore, a strategic lawyer seeks to find an efficient solution. In addition, it might distract owners from what they should be focused on. The goal of a strategic lawyer is to resolve all legal matters as quickly and efficiently as possible, keeping the commercial outcome in mind.

When it comes to dealing with transactional lawyers, it can be time-consuming and frustrating. You might have to go through multiple layers of assistants and processes before you get to your lawyer.
You can contact the strategic lawyer directly since they place a high value on maintaining a good relationship with their clients, ensuring you get a response as soon as possible.

The long-term success of your business can only be considered by a strategic lawyer. Many types of lawyers exist, such as transactional lawyers, who can assist you on a case-by-case basis. The best strategic Sydney business lawyers aim to be the partner of choice for small and medium-sized businesses.

Property conveyancing is a critical part of NSW property law, as it ensures that all legal documents comply with the state requirements, that all necessary searches on the property have been conducted and that all adjustments are made accurately when the settlement occurs.

Estimate
your fixed professional
fee here

At ABP Lawyers, we provide legal services in the area of property law, with a particular emphasis on the purchase and sale of real estate. We have considerable experience in this field.

Our team is made up of highly qualified attorneys with a wide range of experience and skills to draw upon. On any issues that may arise during the purchase or sale of a property, as well as any other issues that may arise during the sale or purchase of a property, we are able to provide professional advice to our clients based on our experience. We recognise that selling or purchasing a home or commercial property is a significant decision and a significant matter for the majority of people. We provide services to people who are involved in property transactions all over Australia.

Do I need a solicitor for conveyancing?

The reason why it is more beneficial for you to engage Sydney conveyancing solicitors for your conveyancing services rather than a conveyancer, is because for a similar price you can have the advantage of a lawyer providing strategic advice and resolve any disputes which can often arise. As lawyers, the team at ABP Lawyers can offer much more than a conveyancer and offer an understanding of the legal consequences of every decision you make or term you agree to.

Our goal is to provide wholistic legal assistance to our client, and establish long term relationships. Providing strategic advice, as well as support with both conveyancing and other legal matters means that we are more than a transactional service. We are your partner.

Our Property Services

Some examples of the services we offer are:

Purchasing and selling residential, commercial and industrial properties;

Drafting and reviewing commercial and retail leases;

Acting for vendor and developer on option agreements;

Acting for developers in the pre-sale of off-the-plan properties;

Drafting by-law, easements and covenants.

This is not an exhaustive list, but a meeting with a commercial lawyers in Sydney should give you the confidence that your lawyer understand the nuanced of your business and objective and add value to the due diligence and negotiation process.

Purchasing and selling residential, commercial and industrial properties;

Drafting and reviewing commercial and retail leases;

Acting for vendor and developer on option agreements;

Drafting by-law, easements and covenants.

Acting for developers in the pre-sale of off-the-plan properties;

With the volatility of the Sydney property market, you need the leading property lawyers in Sydney on your side to ensure that you are adequately protected.

Why we're the best Sydney conveyancing solicitors

We are an award-winning boutique law firm, located right in the heart of the city. Our commitment to client service and the value-add that comes from being able to support our clients in conveyancing and other legal matters is why we have been honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.

With over 15 years of experience in supporting clients in buying and selling all sorts of properties including residential, commercial and industrial, we have the expertise that comes from having assisted clients with even the most unusual and challenging cases. We understand the need to be highly responsive to our client's needs, and will always respond to emails and enquiries in a prompt manner.

Finally, we understand the value of being able to talk directly to your lawyer. When dealing with a larger firm, you'll often be working with an assistant, but with ABP Lawyers, you will have direct contact with a senior lawyer or principal when you need them. Clients tell us that that's one of the "value-adds" that they appreciate the most, and it's one of the benefits of dealing with a boutique law firm.

Honesty and transparency are our hallmarks

Another factor that makes us the leading Sydney conveyancing solicitors is our commitment to honesty and transparency in billing. Our leading service standards are backed with a fixed fees approach wherever possible (and when it isn't possible you will be given full transparency into costs). By being upfront and clear about the cost expectations we deliver a service that is based on mutual respect, and that is why our clients have stayed with us for many years.

Multi-lingual for Sydney's ethnic communities

One of Sydney's great qualities is that it is a true melting pot of cultures and languages. However, all legal matters in Australia are in English, and where conveyancing is concerned, the nuances of the details are all-important. One of the reasons that we are the leading Sydney conveyancing solicitors is that we can support our clients in multiple languages, ensuring that they're comfortable with the details of their legal matter and there are no instances of things being "lost in translation" to later become an unpleasant surprise.

Our team is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

If you need more information on the services that we provide - whether it is conveyancing or any other matter in property law, please contact us on (02) 8880 6505. As the leading Sydney conveyancing solicitors we can assist in all matters, and we would love the opportunity to start the conversation about how we can help.

Choosing the right property development lawyers

Property development is a complex regulatory and legal area, and property developers need lawyers that deeply understand the local laws that they operate in. Finding the right property development lawyers will result in far fewer headaches and stress with your project.

Property development lawyers operate across a broad spectrum of the law, and at Australian Business & Property Lawyers (ABP Lawyers)
we provide advice to our clients in all the following areas:

Pre-sale off-the-plan contracts.

Pre-sale off-the-plan contracts.

This is just some of the most common ways that clients look to us for support as property development lawyers. For any property legal matters, we are here to help.

At ABP Lawyers, we provide legal services in the area of property law, with a particular emphasis on the purchase and sale of real estate. We have considerable experience in this field.

Our team is made up of highly qualified attorneys with a wide range of experience and skills to draw upon. On any issues that may arise during the purchase or sale of a property, as well as any other issues that may arise during the sale or purchase of a property, we are able to provide professional advice to our clients based on our experience. We recognise that selling or purchasing a home or commercial property is a significant decision and a significant matter for the majority of people. We provide services to people who are involved in property transactions all over Australia.

Why we are the best property development lawyers in Sydney

We love everything property! With over 15 years of experience in supporting property developers, investors, and home owners, we offer genuine expertise with a personal touch. As a boutique firm, located right in the heart of the city, we are always available to our clients, and understand their need for quick action and fast resolution on their property development goals.

Our commitment to excellence in service is why we were honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts. Property law is a particular speciality for us, and we are highly responsive to the needs of our clients.

Honesty and transparency are our hallmarks

One of the great concerns when engaging with lawyers is always the costs involved. With ABP Lawyers, we aim to give our clients peace of mind that their legal matters can be attended to without a frightening bill at the end. Our leading service standards are backed with a fixed fees approach wherever possible (and when it isn't possible you will be given full transparency into costs before we begin the engagement). We don't watch the clock because we genuinely care about our clients, and our highly strategic approach to business means that we provide a true value-add and ROI: we can help our clients see pathways and opportunities that they hadn't previously considered.

We consider ourselves a genuine partner in the success of each client, and value long-term relationships with customers rather than the transactional approach. What makes us the best property development lawyers in Sydney is that we focus on being fair, responsive, and transparent.

Multi-lingual for Sydney's ethnic communities

Sydney is a melting-pot of cultures, languages, and communities. The law is consistent, and legal matters are handled in English, so for many of Sydney's property developers and foreign investors, having the support of property development lawyers that can represent their interests in multiple languages is invaluable.

In addition to English, our team is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Across all of these languages, we can ensure that the intentions of our clients are not "lost in translation," and that the nuances of the law are clearly and cleanly explained to them, and that there are no unpleasant surprises waiting for them in the legal system.

If you need more information on the services that we provide, or are a property developer facing a legal matter but you're not sure what steps you should take next, please contact us on (02) 8880 6505. As Sydney's leading property development lawyers, we can assist in all matters, and we would love the opportunity to start the conversation about how we can help.
