Small business owners need lawyers that understand their unique challenges, and know how to support their clients in all business legal matters.
Understands your business’ needs: Every small business is different and has different touch points with the law, meaning that different businesses are vulnerable to different types of risk and challenges. A business in the trades or construction, for example, will need the support of lawyers that understand OH&S regulations and workplace safety. A small media company will need a lawyer that understands IP law. Make sure your lawyer understands your specific legal challenges.
Responsive: Small business lawyers should be highly responsive and proactive with the clients. When you’ve got a business to run, you need to know that you won’t be chasing your lawyer for a response.
Transparent with fees: Small businesses rarely have resources they can waste. Their lawyers should operate on a transparent, fixed fee basis where possible, so the business owner has predictability and can budget the cost of their legal matters.
This is not an exhaustive list, but a meeting with a commercial lawyers in Sydney should give you the confidence that your lawyer understand the nuanced of your business and objective and add value to the due diligence and negotiation process.
Strategic: The best small business lawyers view themselves as a true partner to their clients’ businesses. They take the time to understand the customer’s business, and provide sound strategic and forward-thinking advice. A strategic outcome should not only consider the legal consequences but the financial ones too, such as how a decision may affect cashflow and margin.

Our commitment to service and the value-add is why we have been honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.

For small business owners, the benefit is predictability. Your cash flow won’t be compromised because you will know upfront with confidence what the legal cost will be.
Many of Sydney’s best and small businesses are run by Australia’s vibrant multi-ethnic community, and as small business lawyers, it means a lot to us that we can support the business community across a wide range of languages.
In addition to English, our team is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, as well as Indonesian, Malaysian and Italian. Through our service, small business owners who don’t have English as their first language can be assured that their intentions are not “lost in translation” and won’t run into unpleasant surprises through the legal system, and they can then focus their energies on driving the best possible outcomes for their business.
