Senior commercial counsel for Brisbane founders, SMEs, and growing businesses — at fixed fees, with same-business-day responses, and a single point of contact on every matter.
Tell us a few lines. We respond the same business day — no obligation.
You’ll hear from us by the end of the next business day.
Supply, services, SaaS, distribution, NDAs. You want to know where the teeth are before you sign — and where you can reasonably push back.
Shareholder agreements, share splits, vesting, IP assignments. You want the structure to actually reflect the deal you made on the whiteboard.
Suppliers, partners, contractors. You want a calm assessment of leverage and a written path back to either an outcome or a clean exit.
Heads of agreement, due diligence, transaction documents, settlement. You want the deal to actually close — not just be papered.
Even if you don’t engage us, the call is worth your time. Here’s exactly what you’ll have by the end of it.
We tell you what we actually think — including whether you need a lawyer at all, and whether we’re the right one for this matter.
A written summary of what we’d do, in what order, and what you should do first — whether or not you engage us.
If it makes sense for us to do the work, we send a fixed-fee quote (or a clearly capped scope) by the end of the call. No “we’ll get back to you.”
Reviewed and renegotiated our enterprise supply agreement — saved us a $40k exposure on day one.
Drafted our founders’ agreement in a week. Plain English, no surprises, and the vesting actually worked.
Exited a five-year supplier relationship cleanly. Got us a settlement we didn’t think was possible.
Client names withheld for confidentiality. Available on request.
Every paragraph of advice carries its weight. Plain English. Trade-offs surfaced early. We tell you what we’d do if it were our matter.
Work is measured in outcomes, not in hours billed. We pick the shortest credible path to a good result — not the most thorough-looking one.
Transparent fees. Same-day acknowledgements. Plain-English correspondence. You should never open an invoice and be surprised.
Scope is agreed before any work starts. You’ll receive a written engagement letter with a fixed fee (or capped scope, for open-ended matters) before you commit.
A few lines via the form below. We acknowledge the same business day.
An honest read, clear next steps, and a fixed-fee quote if it makes sense.
Written scope, fixed fee. Nothing starts until you sign off in writing.
Delivered, walked through with you in plain English, and the file is closed cleanly.
You’ll have a written fixed-fee quote (or a clearly capped scope, for open-ended matters) by the end of the initial call — before any work begins. Most discrete pieces of work — a contract review, a shareholders’ agreement, a single-issue advice — sit between $1,500 and $6,000 plus GST.
Same business day for all initial enquiries. For active matters, our service standard is a response within one business day, and almost always sooner.
We listen, ask the questions that matter, give you an honest read on your situation, and — if it makes sense — quote a fixed fee for the work. You walk away with clear next steps whether or not you engage us.
We handle commercial disputes up to the point of formal litigation — demands, negotiation, settlement deeds. If a matter escalates to court, we refer you to a senior litigator from our trusted bench and stay involved as your relationship lawyer.
We’ll come back the same business day with a time. The call is free, has no obligation, and you’ll walk away with clear next steps either way.
You’ll hear from us by the end of the next business day with a suggested time.
