Constructive Legal Solutions were excellent for us in assisting with enterprise Agreement and went out of her way to navigate us through the complex nature of EA bargaining.

Jarrod Bennell - Core Contracting Group

We are so grateful to the lawyer for her assistance in drafting sub contractor contracts tailored to our business. The process was easy from start to finish and the lawyer was informative and clear explaining all aspects of the contracts. The pricing for this service was very affordable which is an important consideration for small business owners.

Myers Electrical Pty Ltd

Engaging, entertaining, thought provoking……

In the current climate and the crazy litigious society we live in, it is good to know that NECA have expanded the services offered to members with the lawyer and her team.

A “must attend” event for NECA members and a gentle hint for members to let non-members know what they are missing out on by not being a member….

Thanks to all who made the event possible and thanks to the lawyer for the laid back approach to the minefield of employee / employer relationships.

Darren Klashovski

General Manager of Praxis Group

The lawyer provided us with clear, sound and prompt advice – a huge thank you, and happy to have an engaging law firm as easily accessible as Constructive Legal Solutions.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We are here to help.

A legal contract must contain an offer, certainty of terms, intention to create legal relationships, and legality of purpose.

In Australia, business structures include sole traders, partnerships, companies, and trusts. Each of these structures has unique legal, tax and reporting obligations, and depending on your business structure, you may be required to register a business name (if different to your own name) with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), obtain an ABN, and register for GST. In addition, certain types of businesses will be required to obtain permits and/or registrations in order to be able to operate, and obtain unique forms of insurance.

This is only part of the overall picture when establishing a business. Working with a commercial lawyer when starting up can help to ensure you are covered on all bases.

Directors are required to act in the best interests of the company, avoid conflicts of interest, exercise care and diligence, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
