Hi there,

I need help answering this scenario for my Business Law class.

I have to answer in the form of a powerpoint presentation with the issues answered in an IRAC method.

John is a partner at Associated-Legal, a general legal practice in Belconnen. As part of his continuing legal education he attended a Building and Construction

Scenario:

John is a partner at Associated-Legal, a general legal practice in Belconnen. As part of his continuing legal education he attended a Building and Construction Law conference in Sydney. To his surprise he ran into Michael, one of his friends from when he studied at UC. Michael is the ACT Regional Manager for GeoCon, a company very active developments of apartment buildings in Canberra. Michael said GeoCon is dissatisfied with their current conveyancing provider in Canberra and offered John the business. Michael said there were currently over 280 apartments under construction by GeoCon. Michael said the work was mostly on-line and may not even need client contact for each conveyance as GeoCon can manage client meetings. John is thinking he can do the work from home and after business hours. John seeks your advice as to his rights and obligations under Partnership Law.
