The legal partner every accounting firm needs in its corner

Running an accounting firm involves a set of legal and commercial demands that sit well outside the scope of what most practitioners trained for. From ownership structures and partnership arrangements through to lease negotiations, employment obligations and succession planning, the business of running a firm requires careful attention across a range of areas. We work with accountants and firm owners to provide clear, practical advice across all of it so you can keep your focus on your clients.

Scope of services

Corporate

The legal and commercial complexity of running an accounting firm has a way of compounding as the business grows. We help firm owners cut through it with straightforward, practical advice that keeps pace with where the business is headed.

Workplace

A well-run accounting firm depends on its people. We help owners manage employment obligations, navigate workplace issues and respond to claims so the business stays on track.

Property

Office leases and premises decisions are significant commitments for any accounting firm. We help owners negotiate terms, manage fit-outs and work through property matters with clarity and commercial focus.

Succession

Succession in an accounting firm is rarely simple, particularly where partnerships and long-standing client relationships are involved. We help firm owners plan the transition carefully and structure arrangements that protect the value of what has been built.

Immigration

Hiring internationally is becoming a practical reality for many accounting firms. We help owners and overseas recruits work through the visa and immigration process clearly and without it becoming a distraction from the business.
