This CPD program offers a practical run-through of the process of assisting a client purchasing a small business. It highlights the key considerations and risks to keep in mind while acting from offer stage through to post-settlement finalisation.

The program takes a broad view of transactions at national scale and flags items where state and territory based legislation and practices may differ.

The program will assist lawyers who are new to small business purchasers to take their client through the process smoothly. For lawyers who act on purchases infrequently, this program will offer a refresher and help you to avoid wasting time re-inventing the wheel for each new engagement. It will be especially useful for those operating without expensive practice management software.

It is designed to offer practical guidance, help you to add value to your client by taking a commercial approach and avoid potential claims against you.
