Commercial Contract Lawyers
Commercial contracts are the bread and butter of your business. They are some of the most commonly used contracts, covering you for the work you do and your products. It is essential that you ensure they are well-drafted and tailored to your business. You should have peace of mind that they are there to protect you when you need to rely on them.
Our experienced lawyers are dedicated to helping businesses of all sizes with their contractual needs, whether you’re a start-up or an established company.

We ensure your agreements are legally sound and designed to protect your interests, with personalised solutions tailored to you. If you’ve been handed a contract to sign, our fixed fee contract reviews tell you exactly where you stand before you commit.
One more reason drafting matters: standard form contracts used with consumers and small businesses are regulated by the Australian Consumer Law’s unfair contract terms regime, and unfair terms can be void and attract penalties. Our plain-English guide to unfair contract terms explains what to look out for.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use a template or get a contract drafted?
Generally, a tailored contract costs a little more now and saves multiples later. Most generic templates will not cover your business’s specific risks. It doesn’t hurt to get a free consultation from a lawyer to know exactly what you will need.
Can you review a contract the other side drafted?
Yes, that’s daily work for us. A fixed fee review flags what’s risky, what’s negotiable and what’s standard, with plain-English advice on what to push back on.
How quickly can you draft a contract?
Usually within 5 working days of engaging us. If you have a deadline, tell us upfront and we’ll confirm whether we can meet it.
What does it cost?
A fixed fee, quoted upfront. The first consultation is free.
