Legal Infrastructure

Many businesses fail to get their legal ducks in a row

Your legal infrastructure.

In this area, business owners fall victim to “temporal discounting” – not worrying about things which seem a long way. It’s why business owners don’t have: Wills; Partnership agreements; Standard trading terms; Proper loan agreements; Employment contracts; and Written workplace policies. They know they need them,  but nothing is wrong right now, so there’s no hurry. Except that when risks "come home" they don’t announce their arrival a month in advance.  The truth is that you don’t know when: You may pass away; Your biggest customer will suddenly stop paying you; The person who you lent money to will claim it was a gift; An employee will walk out with your intellectual property, top salesman and half of your customers; or You will find that the employee who left last month was being bullied and now you are being sued.

Our offer is this:

So our offer is this: You engage us to put all of your legal infrastructure in place over 12 months; You pay us an initial deposit which will be a percentage of the total fee; You pay the balance by direct debit in monthly instalments to our trust account; We do the work as the funds become available; and When all the work is done and paid for, we remit an amount equivalent to 15% of the total fee to you as a discount. You get: all the legal documentation you should have; smoother cashflow; a discount; and when it's all done, then knowledge that you are better prepared than 90% of your competitors. Call us on (08) 6180 1959 if you would like to discuss it further, or send us an email here.

Fixed Fees

Clients do not pay lawyers for their time.

They never have and they never will. Our clients pay us for: Giving them commercial or personal benefits using legal documents; Advice on dealing with business or personal situations; Advice on documents; and Helping them deal with personal or commercial disputes. Clients do not care what the law is. They just want their problem solved. Clients don’t want to be told why they can’t. They want to know how they can. And they always want to know what it will cost. So we bill on fixed fees wherever we can, and some work is always fixed fee. We are also happy to do work on a retainer where you pay a fixed amount per month for the duration of the work. If time billing is your thing, we can still do that. To discuss this further, or to discuss your need for legal solutions, please call on (08) 6180 1959 or email us here.
