We are a boutique legal practice focusing on providing practical legal advice in commercial matters for small to medium size businesses including wholesalers, manufacturers, importers, equipment hirers and motor vehicle dealers that supply, lease, hire or consign goods, motor vehicles and equipment to others.

Our services are provided by Philip Sheezel who has been providing advice in relation to commercial law, commercial litigation and insolvency matters for over 40 years.

Do you manufacture, sell or hire goods or plant and equipment?

Do you provide your customers with credit when you sell or hire your products?

Are you concerned to better protect yourself from your customers’ default?

If so, you should urgently ask yourself these questions;

• Have you recently up-dated your current trading or hire terms and your customer credit application and guarantee forms?
• Do your terms enable you to protect yourself under the new Personal Property Securities Act if your customer goes broke?
• Do your terms comply with the new Australian Consumer Laws so as to limit your legal liability as far as you can?
• Have you properly documented your inter company arrangements so that you secure your core assets if one of the company’s in your group gets into financial trouble?
• Have you properly documented the other commercial arrangements that affect your business such as your warehouse, distribution, agency, employment, partnership or shareholder arrangements.

If you require any assistance to up-date your current legal customer documents or advice on any other commercial legal matters, contact Philip Sheezel at PS Law on 03 9503 0499 or email philip@pslaw.com.au to discuss your specific needs and to obtain fee estimate on the work that you require to be undertaken.
