About us
Univa Legal is a Sydney-based boutique commercial law firm providing strategic advice across taxation, corporate structuring, commercial transactions, and dispute resolution. We work with business owners, private groups, investors, accountants, and advisers who require technically sophisticated legal solutions delivered with commercial practicality.
Our approach is simple: legal advice should do more than identify risk. It should create opportunities, protect value, and support growth.
We advise on complex tax and structuring matters, including business restructures, asset protection, trust and corporate structures, succession planning, transaction structuring, tax-effective acquisitions, and capital raising arrangements. Working alongside accountants, financial advisers, and corporate professionals, we help clients implement structures that are commercially effective while remaining robust under scrutiny from regulators, creditors, and revenue authorities.
Where disputes arise, we focus on protecting our clients' commercial interests through strategic and efficient resolution. We act in complex taxation disputes, business and shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, trust disputes, debt recovery matters, and regulatory investigations. Whether negotiating a resolution, managing an audit, or conducting litigation, our objective remains the same: achieving the best commercial outcome with the least disruption to your business.
