Specialising in business and investment structuring and restructuring, our team’s well-established expertise governing companies, trusts and SMSFs forms the cornerstone of the firm’s reputation.  We deliver strategically combined technical proficiency with practical efficiency to ensure the best asset protection and taxation outcomes, across multiple industries and scales.

The vision for Acis Legal was born from more than 50 years’ collective legal experience in the governance of business and investment structures and a common drive to deliver innovative tax planning and wealth protection solutions that mitigate risk and support legacy growth. 

We specialise in the drafting of company constitutions, trust deeds and SMSF deeds, as well as an entire suite of legal documentation in and around those structures. In an increasingly litigious environment, especially in the trust and SMSF space, staying abreast of recent legislative changes, case law, government policy and market trends is at the forefront of what we do.  Attention to detail, expert legal review and drafting precision are essential in the drafting of both constitute documents and, crucially, subsequent amending documentation, to ensure desired changes are compliant and effective. We are the respected foundation of trust and reliability in this area of the law.
