Course Details

More and more small – medium sized businesses are being set up jointly by more than one person. Many family-owned businesses consist of multiple generations. Often the parties are so focused on the operation of the business and getting the financials right, that they don’t consider the legal risks of structuring themselves like this. 

 

Aly Young covers the following topics during this course:

  • Alternative structures – partnerships, limited companies, limited liability partnerships
  • De facto position under the Companies Act i.e. what the rules are if the parties don’t stipulate the arrangements between them
  • Issues that can arise  (i) changing the common goal or purpose (ii) fallings out (iii) unforeseen events (iv) death or illness (v) sale
  • Legal solutions including (i) court action (ii) winding up (iii) negotiation/dispute resolution 
  • Insurance and opportunities to create operational control/direction
