Commercial Insights
At Geoffrey Walker & Associates, we are always interested to learn more about the types of problems that arise in your industry or line of business. This Insights section is a new addition is designed to enable us to post informative notes about such problems. We appreciate your interest in it, and we welcome your thoughts on topics that would be of most interest to you or your business. If legal advice is required however, the Insights are not advice and you should consider engaging a lawyer, as the saying goes, for legal advice on your particular problem.
Other Insights on topics of interest will follow in due course as this section of our website continues to develop. Please feel free to email info@walkerbiz.com with your thoughts on topics, or telephone us on 0408 099 794.
