Personal Property Securities

The recent introduction of the Personal Property Securities Act has changed the landscape of Australian business.

Baker Love Lawyers’ Personal Property Securities (PPS) team works with business owners to explain how the Personal Property Securities Act will affect their business. Our PPS team is led by Dean Frith, who has been advising clients in regard to the new PPS legislation for over a year. Dean has an excellent understanding of the legislation and its practical implications.

How will the PPS Act affect your business?

Our PPS team can examine the way your business currently operates and warn you about any gaps between your existing practices and the way your business needs to run for its security interests to be protected under the PPS Act. We use our knowledge and experience to devise a custom-made program comprised of advices, policies, procedures, documents and training that will bring your business to where it needs to be.

Advices

Through our comprehensive understanding of the PPS legislation and experience working with clients on how the PSS Act affects their business, we are able to provide practical advice on PPS issues clearly and succinctly.

Policies and procedures

We can offer guidance in drafting and implementing your policies and procedures under the new PPS legislation, including in areas such as document retention, register maintenance and staff awareness.

Documents

We can review and amend your current documents (for example, your Terms and Conditions of Sale, Credit Application and Quotation Terms) and make sure they’re PPS-ready.

Training

Our PPS team provides training aimed at all levels of an organisation and tailored to your industry.  We provide training on:

• Changes to retention of title
