Wrap up, wind down, plan ahead: legal checklist for the new financial year

Most businesses cross 30 June with contracts unsigned, obligations unresolved, and nothing in place for the year ahead.

The end of the financial year isn't just a tax event. It's when legal loose ends tend to surface and new obligations kick in. In this session, Nikita Chikohwa, Lawyer at Lawpath, works through the legal checklist every business owner should run before 30 June, from outstanding contracts and employment obligations to compliance deadlines and the structural questions worth resolving before FY27 begins.

In this session, Nikita will cover: 

  • Contracts to close out before 30 June: which agreements need to be reviewed, renewed, or finalised before the financial year ends.
  • Employment obligations at EOFY: what to check across contracts, contractor arrangements, and any changes to roles or remuneration that need to be documented.
  • Compliance deadlines you can't defer: the ASIC, regulatory, and business compliance tasks due around 30 June and what happens if they slip.
  • Business structure review: whether your current structure still fits your business, and what to consider before locking anything in for FY27.
  • Legal foundations for the new year: the policies, agreements, and protections worth putting in place from 1 July so you start FY27 on solid ground.
 

Why Attend?

Close the year cleanly and start FY27 with nothing left unresolved.

A checklist you can act on 

Walk away with a clear list of legal tasks to complete before 30 June, not a general overview of things to think about.

Know what's due and when 

Compliance deadlines around 30 June can catch businesses off guard. Know which ones apply to you and when they fall.

Contracts and employment covered 

Two of the areas most likely to create problems in the new year if they're not sorted before the financial year closes.

Set up FY27 properly 

The legal foundations you put in place now, from updated agreements to the right structure, shape how the new year runs.
