Mellor Olsson has a proud history of working with businesses, both large and small. Our services cover the entire span of a businesses’ life cycle from advising on the formation of a new business through to its sale, closure or the takeover of a public company.

Our lawyers are known not only for their technical expertise but also for their pragmatic and commercially minded approach and ability to provide tailored advice which helps our clients to achieve their goals.

We regularly advise our clients on the most appropriate business investment and trading structures to suit their needs and are highly experienced in establishing public and private companies, trusts, partnerships and joint ventures. We act and advise on commercial transactions and governance matters for businesses ranging in size from small family operations through to ASX listed companies. We work hand-in-hand with our clients accountants to ensure that we achieve optimal tax, stamp duty and asset protection outcomes.

We can assist you throughout the process of buying or selling a business, shares in a company or an interest in a partnership. We have experience in advising businesses with capital raising requirements, including Initial Public Offerings (IPO), prospectuses and due diligence investigations. We also regularly provide businesses with contractual, taxation and intellectual property advice.
