Brisbane Commercial Lawyers – Let’s Solve Your Problem

Street-smart, Business-Savvy Commercial Lawyers

There are plenty of commercial law firms in Brisbane but they are far from equal.

At Rouse Lawyers, we don’t just offer a legal service – we work in partnership with you to gain a deep understanding of your goals. Our role is to get you the best possible deal for your individual business setting to give your business the edge.

Unlimited Upside and Fee Certainty = Good Value Commercial Law

Rouse Lawyers are the preferred business lawyers for some of Brisbane’s most prestigious enterprises and high-net-worth entrepreneurs.

Our clients network includes national and global enterprises. With a finger on the pulse of technology, we bring our expertise to you wherever you do business.

We couldn’t be in that position without offering outstanding ROI alongside a ‘no surprises’ fee policy that gives business owners and decision-makers certainty.

No two businesses are the same, no two transactions are the same. That’s what causes wild fluctuations in the legal fees endured by many companies as they push into new opportunities.

Not here at Rouse lawyers — we offer a number of engagement models to suit different business structures and transaction frameworks. They all have one thing in common: whether we are charging a fixed fee or a case-based estimate, you can be sure that you will always have cost certainty.

Peace of Mind

There’s not a lot of genuine ‘peace of mind’ in business. The stakes can be high, the budget can be tight, and the stakeholders can be challenging.

As experienced commercial lawyers, we bring you proven results, a wealth of ‘real world’ business experience, sophisticated risk mitigation and cost certainty. It’s as close as your average commercial risk taker will come to a sense of peace.

We work with you to make every deal as smooth as possible aiming for outcomes that ensure you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Recent Work

Sale of Paymenthub to Ezidebit

We acted for the shareholders of PaymentHub who sold their payment services company to Australia’s largest direct debit service provider, EziDebit.

The sale involved multiple bids and a complex share sale agreement involving some deferred consideration.

The recurring revenue nature of our client’s business enabled them to achieve an above-average return with the buyer seeing the strategic value in the acquisition.

We acted for the management shareholders of Kaon Holdings Pty Ltd in the sale of the company to Siemens Limited.
