Commercial Contract Disputes Lawyers Sydney

Why Choose Sultan Legal?

We've handled it from both sides. Fixing companies that have fallen behind, and setting up those that want to do things right from the start. We can help you if:

Director authorization issues – Director signs something without approval
Record mismatches – ASIC records don't match internal documents
Unclear voting rights – Shareholder disputes with no clear voting rights
Privacy compliance gaps – Data collected, but no privacy terms anywhere
Constitutional conflicts – Constitution contradicts how the company is being run
Due diligence failures – Buyer walks because your records are a mess
Investor scrutiny – External investor requests due diligence

How We Help

Step 1: Director Duties Review
Not a theory session. We walk you through what actually matters—conflicts, delegations, acting without approval, trading while insolvent. If something's borderline, we flag it early.

Step 2: ASIC Compliance
Filings, changes, late notices, corrections. Share allotments that were never lodged. Deregistration risks. If it's off, we deal with it.

Step 3: Company Registers
We rebuild them if they're missing. Clean them up if they're wrong. Match them with what's actually happened—share issues, changes, appointments.

Step 4: Shareholder Decisions
We prepare resolutions and minutes that reflect what's already happened—or what you need to approve properly. Sometimes the decision's fine. The paper trail isn't.

Step 5: Constitution Reviews
Some don't have one. Others haven't looked at theirs since they started. We read it, explain what matters, and update it if needed.

Step 6: Privacy Law Compliance
If you're collecting emails, names, phone numbers—you need a privacy policy. Doesn't matter how small your business is. If you don't have one, it's a risk. We draft one that actually covers you.

Step 7: Internal Approvals
Directors signing deals without board sign-off? That's a problem. We review authority levels, approval pathways, and set rules that protect the company—not just the loudest voice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fix ASIC records if they're just slightly off?
Yes. If something ever gets challenged—by a regulator, in a dispute, or during a sale—it needs to match. Close enough isn't good enough.

Can I fix missing resolutions after the fact?
In most cases, yes. But you need to document them correctly. We prepare what's needed.

What happens if we never adopted a constitution?
You're relying on replaceable rules by default. That's fine until it's not. We check if that's still working—or if it's already caused a conflict.

Is a privacy policy legally required for small businesses?
Depends on turnover—but the second you collect personal data, it's smart to have one. Especially for online forms or email marketing.

Can directors be personally liable?
Yes. Especially if they trade while insolvent, breach duties, or ignore compliance risks. We explain how to limit that exposure.
