Property & Conveyancing

Commercial Property & Business Transactions

Victorian Lawyers provides strategic legal advice in relation to property transactions, commercial asset transfers, and complex business acquisitions across New Zealand. We act for property investors, developers, business owners, private companies, and international clients seeking experienced legal guidance when acquiring, disposing of, or restructuring significant assets.

Property and business transactions often involve substantial financial exposure and intricate contractual arrangements. Our firm works closely with clients, accountants, financiers, and commercial advisers to ensure transactions are structured effectively, risks are carefully managed, and settlement is completed efficiently.

Our property practice covers the full spectrum of residential, commercial, and development-related conveyancing. We assist with the negotiation and review of agreements for sale and purchase, title investigations, due diligence, financing arrangements, subdivision transactions, and development-related property matters. We also advise on title conditions, easements, covenants, and encumbrances, and manage settlement and registration through the electronic conveyancing system administered by Land Information New Zealand pursuant to the requirements of the Land Transfer Act 2017.

In addition to property transactions, our firm regularly advises on the sale and acquisition of businesses. This includes both asset purchase transactions and share acquisitions involving privately held companies. We assist with transaction structuring, preparation and negotiation of sale and purchase agreements, due diligence investigations, and the transfer of commercial assets and contractual rights.

We also advise clients on franchise acquisitions and disposals, ensuring compliance with franchise agreements and assisting with the negotiation of key commercial terms. For clients involved in larger corporate transactions, we provide legal support in relation to mergers and acquisitions, working with commercial stakeholders to facilitate smooth and legally compliant transactions.
