RETAIL BUSINESS LAW

Retail businesses are regulated by a wide range of business, competition and consumer protection legislation. In the initial stages of establishing a retail business, retailers are protected under the Retail Leases Act 1994 when leasing a retail premises.

The level of protection shifts rapidly once the retail shop is opened, as Australian Consumer Laws impose certain implied warranties for consumer goods and transactions. There are also various legal issues in-between, such as fitting out the retail premises, securing wholesale or distributed goods, opening bank accounts and employing staff.

DEBT RECOVERY

Murdock Cheng Legal Practice understands the practical effects of participating in a legal dispute.

MCLP takes a proactive and calculated approach when issuing legal proceedings. The decision to issue legal proceedings is derived from a well thought out process beginning with a free consultation to develop a litigation strategy which can achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, based on their needs, resources and desires.
