EJD ADVISORY's General Services

To avoid ambiguity and ensure the parties are aligned on their obligations and responsibilities, every transaction should have documented suitable terms and conditions setting out rules of engagement, the agreed scope of works, the required schedule and provide a safety net if things go wrong. Our contracts are drafted in plain English, appropriately allocate risk, and protect your interests. 

We can help you:

• build a suite of contract templates supporting you to standardise your contracting risk profile and enable the business to act quickly with contracts that are well understood by your team
• develop a contract playbook setting out your deal breakers, fallback positions and escalation pathways
• to negotiate your contracts and support you to secure balanced deal terms and commercial value over the life of the contract 
• to review, mark-up and understand your major business contracts ensuring you enter each deal informed, with your eyes wide open to where you have accepted risk and what your commitments are
• map your contractual obligations to your operations - we help you to identify gaps between your contractual promises and how your business actually operates.

If you need to safely exit a contract or deal and move on to your next business adventure with minimal disruption to your operations, EJD Advisory can also provide advice on contractual obligations to ensure you understand the best contract termination process suitable to you to minimise the risk of a dispute. 

Whether you are navigating a business-critical transaction or implementing new legal, risk or compliance frameworks, we can jump in and help support the project from initial kick-off to close-out. 

We provide senior in-house lawyers to deliver guidance on legal, contractual and operational risk, and drive outcomes for key projects, ensuring you can remain focused on core business as usual operations.

Efficient and effective corporate governance ensures the company has implemented a fit for purpose framework of systems, practices and policies that guide and direct decision making, align with contractual obligations, identify and manage risk, drive accountability and business ethical standards. 

The Australian legislative and regulatory landscape is ever-changing. EJD Advisory provides independent perspective and assessment on your risk profile and internal risk and compliance control mechanisms. We work with your team to facilitate a common understanding across your business of your risk appetite, key legislative and regulatory obligations impacting your operations and support you to successfully develop a practical management framework to safeguard your organisation, building in resilience whilst ensuring adherence to legal, regulatory and industry specific requirements, effectively safeguarding and empowering business performance.

Understanding how your business identifies, tracks, stores, disposes and otherwise handles personal information, third-party owned information and your own confidential information is crucial for every member of your business. Work with EJD Advisory to establish management protocols and educate your workforce on the importance of confidentiality and information management, and the specific protocols they must follow. By empowering your team with knowledge, we help you create a culture of security that protects personal information, and protects your business and its valuable trade secrets and know-how.
