Hendersons Legal

Hendersons Legal are experienced business lawyers in Melbourne who can provide company law advice to Melbourne businesses. This includes a variety of needs from small business matters to the complex legal issues of large corporations.

As business lawyers who have been in private practice in Melbourne for over 20 years, we have an avid interest in our clients’ businesses and getting to know how they go about managing their business affairs. This includes a wide range of aspects, from structures, to staff, and their finances. We are always willing to visit our business clients at their premises throughout the Melbourne metropolitan area. This gives us great insight into their operations and an opportunity to meet staff who we may otherwise only deal with on the telephone or email. As a result, we are able to be very clear and practical when called upon for advice and legal input. We can further tailor this advice and input depending on the complexity, industry and size of the business concerned.

All business owners are aware of the huge burden of the raft of government compliance, legal and accounting obligations. They are all too often a distraction to the core operations of the company. But we find that our clients who keep a tight discipline with these issues, often avoid the time, cost, frustration and distraction that can arise when these matters are not properly observed in the first place.
