The reality is that, regardless of whether your business or assets are in companies or trusts, such structures are really only a means of regulating interaction between the individuals involved.

Companies and trusts operate well only as long as relations are harmonious between the relevant individuals, especially individuals in positions of power such as directors and trustees.

But with power comes responsibilities. And this is where advice from our experienced lawyers is crucial, enabling you to answer such questions as:

• Is the relevant company, trust or association set up adequately?
• How must the company, trust or association be operated, and is this being done?
• How can control of the company, trust or association be restrained or changed, including by court order?
• How can you benefit from the situation?

We have seen it all before. Our experienced lawyers have been in boardrooms and at meetings with trustees and the committee, including with a recording device running when necessary. Sometimes, shortly after meeting the parties are in court in a fight to the death. Our lawyers thrive in these situations. This is when their tenacity and knowledge about corporate, trust or association law will help you prevail.
