Business & Commercial Law FAQs

How do clients rate business lawyers in Australia?
Very well. 1,230 of the 1,565 rated firms hold 4.5 stars or better. The average is 4.7.
How much does a business lawyer cost in Australia?
Fees vary by complexity. Many firms charge a fixed fee for standard work such as contract reviews or company set-ups, while ongoing or disputed matters are usually billed at an hourly rate. Ask for a written cost estimate before work begins.
When should a small business engage a commercial lawyer?
It is worth getting advice early when you are choosing a business structure, signing a lease, taking on partners or investors, or entering significant contracts. Fixing problems after the fact almost always costs more than getting it right up front.
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a business?
It is strongly recommended. A commercial lawyer reviews the sale contract, manages due diligence, and protects you on issues such as warranties, restraints of trade and the transfer of leases, employees and licences.
