Practice Area
Corporate Law
Company structuring, governance and transactions in Queensland.
Overview
Corporate law is the architecture of your business — who owns it, who decides, how value moves through it, and what happens at the end. Get it right early and most disputes never start.
Trilogy Law Group advises Queensland founders, boards and shareholders on company structures and transactions. We work with accountants and tax advisers to make sure the legal structure supports the commercial and tax strategy.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Do I need a shareholders agreement if there are only two of us?+
Yes — especially when there are only two of you. A shareholders agreement sets out how decisions are made, what happens if one of you wants out, and how value is calculated on exit. It is the single most useful corporate document most early-stage businesses can have.
Can you help me set up a company structure?+
Yes. We work with your accountant to register the company, prepare the constitution, issue shares, and put governance documents in place. We can also advise on trust structures and group arrangements.
What's involved in selling my business?+
A typical sale involves heads of agreement, due diligence, a share or asset sale agreement, employee transitions, warranties and indemnities, and a completion process. We guide you through each stage and protect you post-completion.
Do you advise on ESOPs and employee equity?+
Yes — we structure and document employee share and option plans for Queensland businesses, including start-up tax-concession arrangements where eligible.
How do you charge for corporate transactions?+
Smaller, well-scoped matters are typically fixed fee. Larger transactions are scoped in stages with written estimates, so you always know where you sit before the next phase begins.
