WHO WE ARE



Glenda has around 30 years’ experience in the legal profession working always in
commercial law, assisting businesses to grow and be successful. She has worked
for small businesses and very large businesses with turnover exceeding many
millions.  For extended periods she worked in commercial leasing and
construction acting on behalf of large retailers and other corporations in
several states of Australia. For other extended periods she has focused on IT
Law.

 

Glenda has worked both in traditional law firms and in-house for large
corporations. Through her in-house experiences, she learned to keep a commercial
focus to her work, always weighing up the importance of protecting client’s
legally but at the same time questioning this against commercial reality.

OUR SERVICES




IT CONTRACTS

We have a heap of experience in the information technology industry and can help
you by providing agreements for disaster recovery, managed services,
maintenance, cloud based services, software development, cyber security and data
centres whether you are the operator or a user of the services.

Learn More


BUSINESS STRUCTURES

The two main reasons why you need to carefully consider what is the appropriate
structure for your business are:
1. Risk of exposure to liability and the ability to minimise that exposure
2. Taxation considerations which may also include the desire to distribute
income and assets to family members

BUYING/SELLING BUSINESS

Many complexities are involved in buying or selling a business. If you’re buying
you have to make sure you actually get what you’re paying for and there could be
many things involved such as taking over the employees, plant, equipment,
customer contracts, domain names, branding, registrations, a lease and so on.

STANDARDS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Good standard terms and conditions with your customers are one of the most
important foundations of your business. They have the ability to make or break
your business. And because almost all businesses are unique (with the exception
of franchises) just as you are unique, it is important to have terms and
conditions that are tailor-made to your business to give you the best
protection.

COMMERCIAL/RETAIL LEASES

We can help you with your leasing needs whether it be for an individual office
or office building, warehouse, factory, data centre, business park, retail store
or shopping centre, to give a few examples. We have a wealth of experience with
leasing. You must be careful to ensure you don’t mistake a retail lease for a
commercial lease, because different laws apply. And, of course, the needs of a
landlord are different from those of a tenant.

Learn More


TRADIES CONTRACTS

Are you a tradie who needs help with the paperwork? Many in the trades are not
comfortable with paperwork and tend to avoid it hoping it will go away. Having
helped many in the trades, we understand this and are here to help. We can draw
up terms and conditions that you will understand or help you review a contract
before you sign it.

Learn More


RESOLVING COMMERCIAL DISPUTES

Disputes can arise in many areas of business but fundamentally either internally
or externally. Internally amongst the business owners or members of staff and
externally with customers or suppliers. If you have a dispute with a customer or
supplier the very last thing you want is to end up in a Court of law. 

Learn More


SHAREHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS AGREEMENTS AND BUY/SELL AGREEMENTS

The relations between business partners in a company or trust should be
regulated to ensure there are fair processes dealing with disputes, departure
from the business whether voluntarily or due to unfortunate circumstances, how
the business is valued and other issues. These can be dealt with in a
shareholders or unit holders agreement.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY


Glenda was able to go through our terms and conditions and make us aware of not
only our exposure, but other legal circumstances we were not aware of that
could’ve cost our business tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars
if not reviewed and changed quickly.  Working with Glenda is one of the best
experiences I have had working with lawyers in general. She is extremely
knowledgeable and proactive in bringing concerns to my attention as well as very
easy to understand (especially all those legal terms). I can now go to sleep at
night knowing that my business as well as my clients are safe and protected from
any unseen legal issues which is a huge relief. I would recommend Glenda to any
of my business contacts in a heartbeat.

Liam BensonDirector at Evolve Cloud
We initially engaged Top Notch Legal to brush up our service agreements.  After
speaking with Glenda, it was quite obvious that she had had a lot of experience
with my industry and was even able to point out terms that we had neglected in
our current agreements.  This quickly turned into a request for new agreements
to be drawn up that protected our business and made things fair for our clients
and business partners.  Glenda prepared these, prompted us where necessary for
responses and additional information about how we would like to run things &
really listened and took on board what we wanted.  The end result was a set of
client engagement contracts that mean that I can sleep at night knowing that we
are protected and that our clients are looked after.

Simon BarkerDirector at BIT Collective
Glenda of TopNotch Legal helped us with our need for a fair, sensible and
legally- sound short-term studio hire agreement. Rather than relying on online
template agreements which may not actually hold up under local law, we can now
hire out with confidence that we are meeting our obligations under our lease and
insurances, and there are far fewer grey areas for misunderstandings and
disagreements to arise. Rates were extremely reasonable, considering the amount
of work and tailoring involved. Thank you TopNotch Legal!
