businesses need each other, the contracts for goods and services between them are the foundations of trade

A global power equipment manufacturer headquartered in the US with an Australian subsidiary came to Macpherson Kelley wanting to standardise its contracts around the world. We localised the contract for Australian conditions and then adapted it for use around South-East Asia. The standardised contracts have made it easier for head office to administer their deals around the world.

A curtain and window furnishings supplier had a customer who owed them a significant debt. The supplier was concerned about what would happen if the customer went out of business or didn’t pay its debt. Macpherson Kelley drafted an agreement between the supplier and customer, including a PPS registration over an expensive car owned by a director of the customer. If the customer failed to pay their debt, our client would be entitled to sell the car to recover what was owed. With the agreement in place, both sides were able to continue doing business together.
