Lawyers Weekly named Velocity Legal a finalist for Commercial Team of the Year at the Australian Law Awards 2026.

The recognition acknowledges the work of Velocity Legal’s Commercial team in helping business owners, founders and private companies make clear decisions across transactions, contracts, ownership arrangements and commercial risk.

Commercial advice for important business decisions

Commercial legal issues often arise when a business reaches a decision point.

A business owner may need to buy or sell a business, negotiate a key contract, bring in investors, manage shareholder arrangements, protect intellectual property, respond to regulatory obligations, or structure a transaction.

These decisions can affect ownership, control, risk, timing and future relationships.

Velocity Legal’s Commercial team helps clients bring structure to those decisions. We explain the legal position in plain English, identify the issues that matter, and help clients understand the path forward before they make key commercial decisions.

What our Commercial team helps clients with

Velocity Legal’s Commercial services include:

• business purchase and sale agreements
• contract advice and drafting
• franchise law
• intellectual property
• mergers and acquisitions
• RTO regulation and compliance
• share purchase and sale agreements
• shareholders agreements
• startup and capital raising.

Across these areas, our team focuses on advice that reflects the client’s commercial context. We look at the legal issue, the business objective, the people involved and the practical steps required to keep the matter moving.

How we work with business owners and advisors

Commercial matters rarely sit in isolation. They often involve accountants, financial advisors, business brokers, lenders, investors and other stakeholders.

Velocity Legal works alongside accountants and other professional advisors to complement their advice, protect client relationships and give clients legal clarity when commercial issues arise.

We aim to make the legal process clear from the start. Clients work with an accountable expert, receive advice in plain English, and understand what comes next before they need to make key decisions.

That approach matters in Commercial work because clients often need to balance legal risk with timing pressure, operational realities and long-term business goals.

Recognition for the Commercial team

We thank our clients, referrers and team for their trust and support.

We also congratulate the other finalists in the Commercial Team of the Year category.

The Australian Law Awards 2026 will announce the winners on Thursday, 30 July 2026 in Sydney.
