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.
