Small Businesses and the Competition and Consumer Act
August 1, 2023 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 am
Free
Each week there is a Business Referrers meeting which provides a friendly and productive meeting opportunity for local small business owners to share referrals and grow their businesses using the membership as a platform for new ideas, products and services. We have a guest presenter each week who provides information from their areas of expertise.
Gareth Jones, property and commercial lawyer, will give a summary of how the Australaian Consumer Law affects small businesses. It is always good to be reminded of your obligations (and your rights). Gareth will also take you through some examples of advertising and selling conduct which might breach the Australian Consumer Law.
About the Presenter
Gareth Jones – Septimus Jones & Lee
Gareth has developed a broad experience acting as a property and commercial lawyer for over 20 years. He has acted for listed property developers, private developers and thousands of private clients each with their own objectives and needs. Purchases, sales, subdivisions, leases, easements, covenants, adverse possession, compulsory acquisition. Legal advice needs to be effective for you, but most of all, you need to be able to sleep better at night.
Gareth is a partner at Septimus Jones & Lee, a firm which has been operating for over 85 years. The firm decided to move out of the city where it had been operating since 1935 to embrace the new opportunities made possible by remote working. Septimus Jones & Lee moved to Kew where we are more accessible to our clients and able to make the most of the efficiencies to be gained by hybrid working in the office and from home.
Gareth is married and has four sons so his hobbies mostly revolve around driving to and watching sport!
Today, Gareth will introduce himself more fully as a new member of Business Referrers, and share a tip which all businesses and individuals should follow to avoid losing money.
