It is important to engage the business purchase conveyancing team at ABP Lawyers early in the process to allow us to offer strategic advice and negotiate the best terms on your behalf.
As we’re a specialist boutique firm, you can expect that rather than dealing with an assistant, as you would in a large firm, with ABP Lawyers you will speak directly to a senior lawyer or principal when you need them, and we will never leave emails and enquiries unattended.
With 15 years’ experience in assisting businesses with all their legal needs, at ABP Lawyers we see ourselves as a true extension of your business rather than just legal advisers.
This has seen us honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.
As your partners, we truly care about your business and are not clock watchers, ensuring that all costs are communicated and transparent. We have adopted a fixed fees approach to our work wherever possible (and when it isn’t possible you will be given full transparency into costs).
Sydney supports a vibrant and thriving multi-ethnic community of business leaders. It means a lot to us that we can support these entrepreneurs with business purchase conveyancing that will help them navigate the complexity of acquisitions in a wide range of different languages.
In addition to English, our team is fluent in both major Chinese dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese. Through our service, business owners who don’t have English as their first language can be assured that their intentions are not “lost in translation” and won’t run into unpleasant surprises through the legal system, and they can then focus their energies on driving the best possible outcomes for their business.
For our clients that regularly deal with the multilingual business community, our ability to act as a “language bridge” will help ensure a positive outcome for all parties.
If your business is looking to make acquisitions or be acquired, be sure to get our business purchase conveyancing team involved early on. Please contact us on (02) 8880 6505, and we will get back to you right away so we can start discussing your legal needs.
