25.01.2022 Don Magin reviewed Wilson Haynes Solicitors. Wilson Haynes Solicitors are handling civic affair issues on my behalf. The issues are complex and intriguing. The broad commercial knowledge and common sense approach of the Principal Jim Wilson has made a substantial difference to the outcomes. Jim Wilson is an uncompromising legal representative. Separately, Wilson Haynes are providing me with conveyancing services through their experienced and service orientated executive paralegal, Emily Spinks. I recommend Wilson Haynes Solicitors.

21.01.2022 TWEED HEADS CATCHES THE GOLD COAST (TOWN PLANNING ) DISEASE. Most people understand that town planning schemes require council’s to approve ‘adequate’ parking for commercial developments, to minimise the impact of on-street parking on surrounding areas. Councils and councillors trumpet this as them doing the job they are paid to do, or were elected to do. However, what councils and councillors do not tell us residents and business people is how they behave completely differen...Continue reading

20.01.2022 Estate Planning - explained by Wilson Haynes Solicitors. ‘Estate Planning’ is a term used mostly by solicitors and licensed financial advisers (LFA). It refers to your wealth, be it large or small, or accumulating, or being maintained, or being drawn upon for your lifestyle purposes, or being distributed during your life, or on your death.... I am of the view that, wherever possible, wealth accumulators, pre-retirees and retirees should at least have a conversation with an LFA about estate planning. Your LFA will talk to you about the financial and investment mathematics and options involved in your planning and acting to create and improve the dollar value of your estate prior to and in retirement. What is left is what will be distributed in accordance with the terms of your will. Your LFA is licensed to give only financial advice, not legal advice. On the other hand, your solicitor is licensed to give only legal advice, not financial advice about your estate planning. In your estate planning meeting with your solicitor detailed instructions will be taken about whether you have seen an LFA and what your plan is; the need, during your life and before you loose mental capacity, to formally appoint someone to make financial, health and lifestyle decisions for you, and to document those; and your wishes in respect to the distribution of your wealth that remains, when you pass away (your last will and testament.) Your solicitor will prepare documentation covering these aspects of your estate planning and these documents should be reviewed at the sooner of 5 years or a significant change in your circumstances. For further information - contact Jim Wilson, Principal - 07 5536 3055 x 4.

16.01.2022 PRESS RELEASE 14/03/20 WILSON HAYNES solicitors - conveyancers - business advisers (Tallebudgera and Tweed Heads) CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE Jim Wilson Principal of Wilson Haynes solicitors-conveyancers-business advisers of southern Gold Coast/Tweed said today that the Coronavirus medical alert emphasised the high duty of care that all businesses and people generally had to each other, to ensure that they did not spread the virus.... Mr Wilson said, Wilson Haynes is well placed to be able to provide legal services during this difficult time, where self-isolation may become a requirement. Our staff all have the ability to work from home, with no compromise to client service or the security of client data. Our cloud-based technical systems ensure this, and we are pleased that we invested significant sums in this cost-effective capability over the last few years. In terms of client inter-action instead of meetings, if necessary, we have telecommute and videoconferencing facilities and, of course, FaceTime on mobile applications. So, it’s business as usual from our perspective. In terms of our duty to our staff, we have requested them to be mindful that their activities are not putting others in our firm or clients, at risk. I have asked staff to keep a low social profile and to be clinical in thoroughly washing their hands after touching surfaces foreign to them, like doors of public facilities, benches, and newspapers in eating and drinking establishments. Wherever possible, I have asked them to pay by card instead of cash, to reduce the risk of hands becoming a transmitter of the virus. I have also asked them to be respectfully wary of others who appear to have cold and flu symptoms Mr Wilson emphasised. Mr Wilson went on to say, From the perceptive of business contracts, agreements, leases and financing arrangements, the Coronavirus does not mean that these contracts do not have to continue to be honoured by the parties to the contract. I urge extreme caution in trying to change or exit responsibilities under contracts due to the adverse financial implications of Coronavirus, for businesses and people, without speaking to us, for a review of the contract. It may be possible to negotiate a mutually-satisfactory outcome which should be the first option. All businesses and employees and members of the public should remain vigilant about doing their bit to severely slow the spread of the virus. This means employers being suitably careful about what client - facing activities or public -facing engagements they ask staff to engage in. In this regard, there is no substitute for keeping up to speed with updates and recommendations from the Federal and State Departments of Health.

09.01.2022 The frightening cost of commercial litigation for the average Joe run your life and business to avoid it, at all costs! How often have you heard a person say, Well, we will sue them! How often have you also heard a person say, Well let them sue me! These words reflect my personal adage that the first casualty of emotion is common sense.... Persons who make such statements, like the ones above, are entirely ignorant of how horrendously costly it is for the ordinary person or business to be a litigant as either a plaintiff, or a defendant, in a legal action. The costs of litigation involve a solicitor to prepare the case and a barrister to advise on precedents and to help draft the pleadings and to ensure proper pre-trial processes are being followed and then stand up in court to argue the case of the plaintiff or defendant, as instructed by the solicitor for the client. It is important to note that it does not matter in which jurisdiction or court a plaintiff or defendant finds itself, the local or magistrates court; the district court or the supreme or federal courts. No matter what the court, the time and effort involved for your barrister and solicitor is exactly the same. And they charge exactly the same no matter what the jurisdiction. Their fees are all time-based. Also, bear in mind that if you win, you will only be awarded a maximum of 50-60% of your legal costs and if you lose, you will be liable for the other party’s costs. From experience, when you think litigation (a contested claim), for even a minor claim, think a nominal minimum of $20,000.00 in costs to be funded by you as a plaintiff or defendant, excluding any award for costs against you. Ask your solicitor to explain all the cost scenarios to you and make then make commercial judgements about letting the matter go, or negotiating a settlement, if possible, rather than going to court. There is a lot of merit in putting things down to experience. So how does a person or a business avoid or minimise the prospect of the cost and distraction of litigation? My answer is to adhere to the old banking adage of doing due diligence on your counterpart before entering into the arrangement; seek experienced legal advice on contracts or arrangements before you enter into them; have them properly negotiated and documented; and ensure that they are adhered to and properly managed during their term; don’t ‘set and forget!’.

07.01.2022 CHECKLIST FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS - THE BIG 8 Hi all, Jim Wilson, Principal of Wilson Haynes Solicitors and fellow BEN'er, here. My long legal and commercial experience has shown me that there are 8 big pointers to business success:... 1. Surround yourself with competent advisers - (solicitor; bookkeeper; accountant; financial planner; viral media; insurance specialist; marketing and business coach); 2. Write down your plans and goals to mitigate the risk of failure; 3. Prepare Projected Monthly Cash Flows using a simple XL spreadsheet (timing and amount of expenses and revenues should show you how much you can earn from and draw from the business; and points at which you may have to inject money into the business to keep it solvent); 4. Protect your intellectual property (patents; trademarks; designs; copyright); 5. Get your business structure right for your circumstances (sole trader; company; trust (discretionary or unit); partnership; joint venture); 6. Don't penny pinch on having agreements prepared by your solicitor (partnership; shareholders; joint venture; buy-sell clauses; leases; licences; distribution; employment etc.); 7. Insure your business interest and yourself (partnership; shareholder insurance; product; business; professional indemnity. This includes having a personal will and enduring power of attorney!) 8. Invest in knowing what laws apply to your business and comply with them (product liability; health and safety; Corporations Act; fair trading; trade practices etc.) I hope you find my checklist helpful. Call me cost-free for any clarifications. Kind regards, Jim Wilson - Principal, Wilson Haynes Solicitors Mobile 0415 645121
