The range of commercial services offered by Duncan Basheer Hannon include:

Corporate Advice and Structures
The complexity of the law relating to companies and trusts increases each year. We can provide up-to-date and relevant advice in a way that is easily understood.

Business Purchase or Sale
There are hidden traps in buying and selling a business that can be avoided if the correct legal course is taken.

Property Transactions
Buying, developing and selling land is often an important source of income – so make you sure you get it right.

Commercial Leasing
For landlords, having the right commercial lease is essential to maximise the return on a property. Tenants, on the other hand, need to be careful they understand their legal obligations.

Corporate Recovery and Restructuring
We provide timely and effective advice to lenders, creditors, insolvency practitioners, directors and other key stakeholders with respect to insolvency, corporate recovery and restructuring, as well as litigation arising from the private and court-ordered appointment of external administrators.

Conveyancing
The highly experienced Conveyancing Team at Duncan Basheer Hannon can protect your interests by acting quickly, efficiently and with minimum fuss.

Trusts
Many people have trusts while many others should have one. At Duncan Basheer Hannon we work closely with your accountant to ensure that all appropriate asset and income-protection strategies are in place.

Commercial Disputes
Considerable emotional and financial resources can be tied up in commercial disputes. We have the experience to put in place effective dispute-resolution strategies – by mediation if possible and by litigation as a last resort.

Every transaction involves potential risks and benefits. In order to properly assess the benefit, it is essential to understand the risk. At Duncan Basheer Hannon we can help identify the risks and advise on strategies to deal with them.

Liquor Licensing
Years of experience in the liquor and gaming industry means Duncan Basheer Hannon can provide prompt and accurate advice on compliance and transaction issues.

Financial Transactions
As specialists in this complex area, we act as advisers and consultants to many financiers and financial institutions.
