Client : Jason Brown
Jason Brown is an emerging Australian artist working in digital media. He has invented what he believes will be ground-breaking software that enables improved resolution in drone photography. Although he has had positive feedback and interest from various firms, he wishes to control the rollout and marketing of his program. He approaches your firm for advice on the business structure that will best suit his needs.
1.Conduct research into the industry and/or product that your client wishes to participate in with respect to the type of business structures that are most prevalent in the industry. Your research should enable you to determine which structure(s) would best accommodate and suit your client’s needs.
2. Research the law relevant to your advice.
Investigation into real-world examples of the business structure or structures that are most common in the industry your client wishes to participate in. Your submission should provide some insight as to the possible reasons why for instance in one industry you will have many sole proprietors whilst in another industry relatively few. (800words)
3. Provide a written report to your supervising partner on your research, weighing up the alternatives for your client and providing a recommendation. (1000words)
Your supervising partner is assumed to be an experienced professional, who probably knows the law you are reporting, although he/she may not know the detail and may not remember case names and section numbers, which you will have to provide in a Reference List. You can therefore speak in technical terms to the partner. The purpose of reporting to your partner is not to teach him/her the law they already know, but to convince them that you have done your research properly and that you have weighed up the alternatives sensibly and come to a sensible recommendation.
The report to the supervising partner should contain the three things listed above. You should also provide a reference list. You can assume that the supervising partner has read the record of the interview with the client, so you will only need to refer to the facts when using them in your reasoning.
