Startup Lawyers: Your One-Stop Shop
Don’t know where to begin with your start up or small business? The Legal Shop is your one-stop shop for new business and startups. Let us help you build your business and provide ongoing legal assistance where needed.
Building a small business or new startup isn’t easy. In addition to all the R&D and market analysis, you also have to carefully manage your time and balance expenses. This is why it is so important to choose a lawyer that understands your startup business, risks and budget.
What does working with The Legal Shop look like?
When you first chat to us, we take the time to understand:
- your business;
- your vision for the future; and
- what legal services you need, on a practical level.
We break down your startup’s legal needs into clear parts: what you need now, and what you should obtain in the future when you have the funds to do so. This means you have a clear plan and budget going forward.
We can help you with:
- Startup structure advice;
- Company set up, including mandatory documents required under the Corporations Act that are not provided when you register yourself via ASIC;
- Contracts to manage the relationship between business partners or shareholders, such as Shareholders Agreements;
- Advising on what legal considerations you might need, specific to your business;
- Planning and providing a general timeline for the legals you will need, based on your budget and requirements;
- Registering trade marks for your brand; and
- Drafting and negotiating your supplier contracts, day to day business agreements and policies, commercial or retail lease, and client agreements or terms and conditions.
We can even connect you with some amazing accountants and insurance brokers to make the overall process as simple as possible.
Let us guide you through the legal considerations you need for your new online store, pop up, service or product business. We love to see your small business thrive and grow!
Frequently asked questions
What legals does a startup actually need on day one?
Usually less than founders fear: the right structure, company documents if incorporating, founder/shareholder arrangements if there’s more than one of you, and the customer-facing terms for how you’ll sell. The rest can be staged as you grow, and we plan that timeline with you.
We’re pre-revenue. How do we afford legal advice?
That’s exactly why we work on fixed fees and staged plans: you know every cost upfront and only buy what your stage of business needs. The first consultation is free.
Can you keep supporting us after launch?
Yes. Most of our startup clients stay with us for their contracts, trade marks and growth needs: we become your ongoing legal support as you scale.
