FAQ

  • Not every contract requires a lawyer - but any contract that creates significant obligations, has a high dollar value, runs for a long period, or is difficult to exit from warrants at least a review. The cost of a contract review is almost always less than the cost of a dispute arising from a contract you didn't fully understand when you signed it.

  • For standard matters - contract reviews, employment contract drafting, privacy policies - we offer fixed-fee services. For more complex matters, we provide a clear estimate before work begins. Book a free Clarity Call and we'll give you a fee indication with no obligation.

  • Yes. Many of our clients engage us on an ongoing basis across multiple matters as their business grows. We work as the external legal team for businesses that don't have one in-house - available when you need us, without the overhead of a full-time lawyer.

  • Sole traders have the same legal obligations around contracts, privacy and workplace relations as incorporated businesses, and less structural protection if something goes wrong. We advise sole traders and help them put in place the agreements and structures that protect them as they grow.

  • In practice, the terms describe the same thing — a lawyer who advises businesses on commercial legal matters. The distinction that matters is whether the lawyer has experience with businesses at your scale. We work primarily with SMEs, which means our advice is calibrated to the decisions and constraints of a growing business - not a large corporation.
