Information about Havilah Legal Services

• Corporate & Commercial Law

  We’re all familiar with the old saying: “a stitch in time saves nine”.

  It’s a well-known adage, and one that applies perfectly to the area of commercial law – whether you’re talking about establishing a set of trading terms and conditions, reviewing or drafting a contract to buy or sell a business, making sure appropriate measures are in place to protect your intellectual property, or ensuring good corporate governance procedures.

  

• Tax Law & Tax Litigation

  At Havilah legal, we can assist with the taxation impact on business transactions. From complex corporate restructures and sale of business to taxation of trusts and succession planning, we can work with your accountant or financial advisor to help find the most tax effective solution.

  

• Property Law

  One of the biggest decisions for a business is the decision to enter into a commercial lease.

  Every business needs appropriate premises to allow them to operate and grow their enterprise, but once you have signed the lease— if something then goes wrong — resolving the problem can be costly.

  

• Wills & Estates

  Do you like having the last word? While it’s well known that Wills are important to ensure your loved ones are looked after and your bills paid, it’s also a chance to express yourself.

  At Havilah Legal, we believe that by speaking to you and getting to know your thoughts we can assist you in setting out you wishes in a legally binding Will that also reflects your personality and any messages you wish to convey

• Building & Construction Law

  Building a home is a stressful time — particularly when something goes wrong.

  You might be worrying about work not done to a proper standard, a job that has dragged on too long, leaving you with rent or mortgage payments for alternative accommodation, or threats from a builder not to finish your home unless you pay more than you bargained for.

  

• Criminal Law

  Criminal law isn’t as black and white as people think — and it’s not always about whether you “did it” or “didn’t do it”.

  There are many ways a lawyer can help you get through the harrowing experience of being arrested, interviewed by the police or being charged with a crime.

  

• Debt Recovery Lawyer

  One of the greatest threats to your business is the issue of outstanding debt — money owed to you by customers or clients who refuse or take too long to pay.

  It’s a situation that costs many businesses tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue and bank charges as they tap into their overdraft while payments are outstanding.

  

• Personal Injury

  Even with the best of intentions, accidents happen.  You might have been injured at work, or during a motor vehicle crash.  You could even have been injured as a victim of crime.

  In many cases, these accidents can leave you unable to work, facing steep medical bills and losing the ability to enjoy many of the day-to-day activities people take for granted.

  

• Family Law

  Family law can be an emotional and difficult area to negotiate, but Havilah Legal can assist you in resolving issues in a timely, sensitive and equitable way.

  We can assist you in any area of family law, including property settlement after divorce, division of assets for separated de facto and same sex couples, decisions over the custody of children, advice on payment of child support and even DNA inquiries in cases where paternity is in question.

  

• Restraining Orders

  There are few legal issues more fraught than restraining orders, whether you are applying for one or defending a restraining order application.

  Whatever your circumstances, you need the right legal advice.
