Structuring and Compliance
Business and Commercial Law
Argon Law can help both accountants and financial advisors ensure that the business structures of their clients are optimised for efficiency, compliance, and tax considerations. This includes setting up the appropriate business entities, drafting agreements including partnership, shareholder and supplier, and providing ongoing legal advice on compliance with various regulations.
Employment Law
We can assist with employment contracts and compliance with awards, visa conditions and other employment regulations, which is crucial for businesses to avoid disputes and liabilities and retain good staff.
Risk Management
Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Argon Law can help identify potential areas of risk that could lead to litigation and work to mitigate these risks through careful planning and contract drafting. In cases where disputes arise, we can represent financial advisors or their clients in negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, or court proceedings.
Asset Protection
We can devise strategies to protect clients' assets from potential claims and liabilities, which is particularly important for high-net-worth individuals or those in high-risk industries.
Property Transactions
Argon Law can advise both accountants and financial advisors on property acquisitions, sales, leasing, and financing. We can handle due diligence, negotiate terms, prepare transaction documents, create co-ownership agreements, granny flat agreements and ensure that property transactions comply with local laws and regulations, which is crucial for investment strategies involving real estate.
Educational Support and Training
Argon Law can provide training and educational workshops for accountants, financial advisors, and their clients on relevant legal topics, such as regulatory changes, risk management practices, and the legal aspects of financial planning. This helps advisors stay informed and provide up-to-date advice to their clients.
Strategic Planning
By integrating legal considerations into financial planning, Argon Law can provide strategic advice that complements the financial advice given by advisors. This can include succession planning for family-owned businesses, estate planning, and structuring business transactions to maximise profitability and minimise future legal risks.
Partnership in Client Service
Collaborating closely with financial advisors, Argon Law can ensure that all aspects of a client's portfolio are handled with a comprehensive approach, considering both the legal and financial implications. This partnership can enhance the service provided to clients, making it more holistic and tailored to their specific needs.
