Voidable Transactions
Voidable Transactions are a common consequence of insolvent trading and can have severe legal ramifications. Antunes Lawyers can ensure that you respond quickly, appropriately, and limit the potential of court proceedings.
Failing to take action early on could lead to your situation escalating unnecessarily. Reaching out to a lawyer as soon as possible can ensure that you achieve favourable results.
Voidable transactions occur when a director knows (or should know) that their company is insolvent but payments and transactions are still being made by the company. In this situation you may receive a letter of demand from a liquidator and our lawyers can help you defend and respond to these claims.
We can determine the validity of liquidators claims, determine if the transaction was voidable, explain your rights and responsibilities, determine if there is a defence for case, respond on your behalf to liquidators, help you reach positive resolutions, and represent you to defend or support a claim in court.

Director Penalty Notices
Being a director of a company comes with many benefits but also ultimate responsibility. If your company fails to fulfil its tax and super obligations, you are personally liable to repay the ATO.
Antunes Lawyers can help you respond to Director Penalty Notices in a timely and cost-effective manner.
If you have received a Director Penalty Notice you have 21 days to act, so it’s imperative to act quickly. Our legal team can help you determine the appropriate response to the ATO, whether that’s repaying the debts in full, negotiating a payment plan, or defending you against the claim.
Director Penalty Notices can be defended if we can identify that you didn’t take part in managing the company during the relevant period, you took reasonable steps to ensure that the company paid off these amounts, an administrator or small business practitioner was appointed to your company at the time, or the directors began winding up the company.

Tim and Carlos helped me with my contract writing needs. They were attentive, prompt and clear with their communications. My contract required lots of detail and numerous unique or irregular points. If there were any things that Antunes needed further explanation on, they took the time to fully understand what was needed so they could assist effectively. Their manner was friendly, courteous and completely appropriate. Thank you for the help, Tim and Carlos.

Annulment of Bankruptcy
Annulling a bankruptcy is an attractive option for many Australians dealing with bankruptcy, but not all annulments are created equal. Antunes Lawyers can assess your individual circumstance to provide the best outcome possible.
Annulling a bankruptcy is a process that allows individuals to cancel a bankruptcy order and conclude proceedings before the usual three year time period. Our lawyers can determine whether annulment is a viable option for you.
There are three ways to annul a bankruptcy; paying off your debts in full, arranging an offer to creditors which provides an alternative arrangement to settle any debts (a composition), or by receiving an Order of the Court where the Court determines that your bankruptcy should not have occurred in the first place.
Each type of annulment carries varying legal consequences. Our role in annulling your bankruptcy is to assess your financial position and determine the validity of each annulment option, negotiate on your behalf with creditors, represent you in court, and help you to restructure your finances to avoid future bankruptcies.
