Get your finance in order
Legal advice across every aspect of commercial finance and lending
Three things we get right
When you work with us, your financial arrangements will be correctly documented, legally sound, and structured to protect your interests.
Borrow with confidence
Understand exactly what you are agreeing to before you sign any loan or security document, and make sure the terms work in your favour.
Protect your security interests
Register, manage, and enforce your security interests correctly so your position is protected if a borrower defaults.
Structure for compliance
Make sure your financial arrangements meet regulatory requirements, from AFSL licensing through to managed investment scheme obligations.
Why the legal detail behind your finance matters
A loan facility or security arrangement is only as strong as the documentation behind it. Poorly drafted agreements and incorrectly registered security interests leave lenders exposed and borrowers overcommitted. The PPSR is unforgiving: an unperfected security interest can lose its priority, or be extinguished entirely in an insolvency.

Common questions
If yours is not answered here, call us and ask. The short question early is always cheaper than the long letter later.
How quickly can I speak to a lawyer?
Call 1300 654 590 and you will be put straight through to a lawyer rather than a switchboard. Tell us what the problem is and we will tell you how we can help.
How will I be charged?
For advice and documents we provide a fixed or capped quote before the work starts, so you do not carry the price risk. If you are in a dispute, we map out the process and the likely costs so you know what to expect.
Do I need a lawyer for something this small?
Often the cheapest moment to involve us is the one that feels too small to bother. If we do not think we can add real value, we will say so rather than open a file.
Can you work alongside my accountant?
Yes. A great deal of our commercial work is done alongside a client’s accountant or adviser. We are comfortable operating as one part of a wider team.
