Relevant for ICT Professionals working in, or running their own Tech SMEs along with startups, don’t miss this expert presentation that will step through pertinent legal, accounting and financial foundational topics along with considerations for the COVID-19 environment.
Choosing your business structure and how to keep the peace after the honeymoon
Andrew Redburn, Legal Practitioner Director and Phillipa Hooper, Senior Associate, Active Law, will present on the topic of effective legal business structuring for your tech SME and managing the relationships with your business partners or shareholders. Choosing the right legal structure for your business is vital to optimise tax effectiveness, asset protection and flexibility for future growth. But does it stop there? You and those you are in business with have invested time, energy, and money into the business. Lessen the risk of those relationships souring by having a framework of rules to play by.
Your basic obligations as an employer
Michelle Cowan, Senior Associate, Active Law will then present on the employment standards that you must comply with when you employ staff in your business. Many employers are confronted with substantial fines and court orders because they haven’t complied with their obligations under the Fair Work Act 2009 and have then not remedied their breaches when required to. It’s not difficult to get it right, you just need to understand what your obligations are.
