Welcome to The Small Business Lawyer, your go-to institution for expert and practical advice for your small business. Located at 1631 Wynnum Road in Tingalpa, Australia, we are dedicated to serving small business owners who are cost-conscious and time-poor.

At The Small Business Lawyer, we understand the importance of efficiency, accessibility, responsiveness, and certainty around costs. That's why we utilize technology and streamline processes to deliver greater convenience to our clients.

Our team of knowledgeable, approachable, and commercially-minded lawyers believe in investing time to get to know you and your small business. We provide holistic and client-centered advice, focusing on commercial solutions and strategies rather than simply providing legal guidance.

Led by Lauren, The Small Business Lawyer offers a range of services that cater to the specific needs of small businesses. From conducting pre-settlement inspections to ensuring compliance with commercial leases, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our expertise also extends to estate planning and the complexities of offering vendor finance when selling your business.

For your convenience, we have two addresses: PO Box 814 in Wynnum, Qld, 4178 and 22B/1631 Wynnum Road in Tingalpa, Qld, 4173. Feel free to reach out to us with any inquiries or to schedule an appointment.

When it comes to property transactions, we understand the significance of thorough due diligence. If a material defect is discovered before settlement, the buyer has the right to claim compensation or terminate the contract. We also emphasize the importance of disclosing any tree applications or orders, as failure to do so grants the buyer the right to terminate the contract.

Additionally, sellers must provide a current Pool Safety Certificate prior to settlement. Failure to do so, or not obtaining a certificate at all, can result in a breach of an essential term, allowing the buyer to claim compensation and terminate the contract.

Lastly, if encumbrances appear on searches that were not disclosed in the contract, the buyer can exercise their rights to claim compensation and/or terminate the contract if they can prove that these encumbrances materially affect their use of the land.

At The Small Business Lawyer, we are committed to providing you with expert advice that is easy to understand. We value your time and strive to offer efficient and effective solutions for your small business. Contact us today to see how we can assist you in achieving your business goals.
