Establishment of Trusts

Trusts can be an excellent way to protect your personal assets or run your business. We can advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of using trusts and prepare all documentation to set up a discretionary (family) trust or a unit trust.

In a discretionary trust the assets are held by the trustee who has the discretion to distribute the property and income to a variety of people described in the trust deed.  In a unit trust the trustee must distribute the property and income to the unitholders in proportion to the percentage of units they hold as described in the trust deed.  A unitholders agreement can provide further regulation on issues such as how and to whom units can be transferred and voting procedures.

Our Happy Clients

The Difference Is In Our Level Of Experience Defending The Most Difficult Cases & Our Rigorous Approach To Each Matter


  • I have known Brett Samuel and Rosendorff Lawyers for over 18 months. Brett is a commercially astute lawyer who provides excellent service, quick turnaround, responsive and useful advice and above all understands that clients expect results not just legal gobbledygook.

    I have referred Brett to a number of clients requiring commercial legal expertise and each has commented on his service and value for money approach to the law.

    I have also personally engaged Brett on a number of commercial and private matters and have found him to be an excellent ally. His advice is highlighted by providing options to the client but importantly, recommending a course of action that minimises risk and maximises outcomes. To date this approach has proven to be very valuable and what I, as a client, expects.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Brett for any commercial matter that you need advice on.

  • I have used the services of Rosendorff Lawyers for a number of years now and have found them to be a great asset to my Business Sunburst Group. Their advice concerning contractual law and from time to time commercial litigation has been indispensable. Brett Samuel is always a pleasure to deal with as he is meticulous in his research prior to any legal action we might be considering. My association with Rosendorff Lawyers has helped my business to make the correct informeddecisions and in doing so has enabled me to save many thousands of dollars that otherwise uniformed decisions may have cost me.
