We also advise and assist with a wide array of Competition and Consumer issues, whether it be ACCC investigations and prosecutions or providing guidance in relation to compliance with obligations under the Australian Consumer Law including:

  • misleading and deceptive conduct claims
  • consumer guarantees
  • unconscionable conduct or unfair contracts provisions.

Our guidance is always solutions based and commercially focused so you can avoid the distraction of dealing with legal issues and focus on growing your business.

We don’t believe in providing overly legalistic advice which is both impractical and difficult to understand. Rather, we focus on the unique needs of your business and industry, providing answers which meet your immediate needs and long term commercial objectives.

A key differentiator in our commercial advice is our solutions approach.

We strive not only to arm you with the right information but also to apply our legal knowledge and experience to your specific problem or transaction so that, not only do you have the right documentation, but also a plan that you can implement and act upon with confidence.
