Restructuring your organisation

Restructuring your organisation

When you started out to make a change in our community, it was all about the impact. Spending time and money on getting the best legal structure was way down the list of priorities – and rightly so. But as you have grown and your organisation has matured, you now need to balance your daily impact with good governance. The last thing you want now is the distraction of bad publicity associated with some regulatory non-compliance.

We will guide you through the process of upgrading your governance and compliance infrastructure. If necessary, we can also help you restructure your organisation to take advantage of new opportunities.

​​Caveats are not security interests​

​​Caveats are not security interests​

You have loaned someone money in relation to a property, and in return the borrower has agreed to give you an interest in the property. You lodge a caveat, but you are worried about whether you are properly protected if the borrow does not repay you.

Caveats are a protective mechanism that play an important role in property law. However, a caveat is not a ‘security interest’ in the traditional sense, and it is important to consider whether a caveat is the appropriate tool to safeguard your interest.
