review the structure of their next lease incentive arrangement to ensure
the full tax benefit is gained by the tenant. (October 2004).

Termination can be Terminal for the Employer"

"Wealth
Protection Strategies: make the house call your choice" - an interview
with Andrew Ireland
Since the collapse of United Medical Protection ("UMP") in 2002,
the Australian medical profession has been rocked by uncertainty as to
the level of protection that the defence funds have the capacity to provide.
As a consequence, doctors are placed in a difficult and unfamiliar position
of needing to structure their business affairs in order to best protect
their assets. In this interview Andrew Ireland of the Argyle Partnership
Lawyers, Wealth Protection Team, canvasses the various issues and highlights
the main principles of bankruptcy law. Mr Ireland is firmly of the view
that the individual doctor should be made aware of the full scope of all
issues that can impact on a wealth protection strategy. These may include
a patient engagement review, a practice structuring review, an understanding
of the bankruptcy laws and relevant tax issues, succession and estate
matters amongst others. Although focussed on the medical profession, this
article is relevant to other professionals as well. April 2003.
