We come across decisions of Immigration Department that appear to be technically correct but the process followed through to reach those decision are not necessarily correct.

Partner Visa: A Marriage Certificate Is Not Enough.

Being legally married does not automatically mean your Partner Visa application will be successful.

βœ”οΈ A marriage certificate proves your marriage - but it does not, on its own, establish the full relationship requirements for a Partner Visa.
βœ”οΈ Evidence of your relationship, shared life, commitment and circumstances can all be important.
βœ”οΈ Getting the application right the first time matters. Missing evidence, inconsistencies or incomplete information can lead to delays, requests for further information or serious complications.

At IR Legal, our experienced immigration lawyers understand what is required and take a thorough approach to your Partner Visa application - making sure every box is ticked and your application is prepared as strongly as possible from the outset.

Your relationship deserves more than just a certificate.
Get your Partner Visa application right from the start.

Your business name, logo, brand, original content, inventions and creative work can all represent valuable intellectual property.

But simply creating something doesn't always mean you have the protection you need.

Depending on your business and your IP, you may need to consider:

βœ”οΈ Trade marks
βœ”οΈ Copyright
βœ”οΈ Business names
βœ”οΈ Branding
βœ”οΈ Confidential information
βœ”οΈ IP ownership and licensing

Your intellectual property can be one of your business's most valuable assets - so protecting it should be part of your business strategy.

At IR Legal, we advise businesses on intellectual property matters and help clients understand how to protect and manage their valuable IP assets.

Don't wait until someone copies your brand to think about protection.

πŸ“ž Talk to IR Legal about protecting your intellectual property.

Losing your job can be stressful - especially if you believe your dismissal was unfair.

Unfair dismissal laws can provide protections for eligible employees who have been dismissed in circumstances that may be harsh, unjust or unreasonable.

There are important considerations, including:

βœ”οΈ Whether you are eligible to make a claim
βœ”οΈ How your employment ended
βœ”οΈ Whether the employer followed a fair process
βœ”οΈ The reasons for the dismissal
βœ”οΈ The strict time limit for making a claim

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, don't wait to seek legal advice.

Our Employment Law Team can help you understand your rights and options.

Buying a business is a major investment. Before you sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement, make sure you understand exactly what you are buying.

Here are 5 important things to consider:

βœ”οΈ Due diligence - Are the financials, assets and liabilities what you expect?
βœ”οΈ The contract - What exactly are you agreeing to?
βœ”οΈ Liabilities - Are there existing debts, claims or obligations?
βœ”οΈ Employees - What employment obligations could transfer to you?
βœ”οΈ Conditions - Are there conditions that need to be satisfied before completion?

A business may look like a great opportunity on paper, but the legal details can make a significant difference to the value and risk of the transaction.

Before you sign, get the contract reviewed and understand your legal position.

At IR Legal, our Corporate & Commercial lawyers assist clients with business acquisitions, due diligence and complex commercial transactions across Australia and New Zealand.

πŸ“© Talk to us before you sign.
