About Legal123
We’re Not Corporate Lawyers Who “Also Do Online Stuff”
We’re Online Business Specialists Who Happen to Be Lawyers.
Founded in 2009, we became Australia’s first 100% online law firm – built for e-commerce, SaaS, digital agencies and online businesses that traditional firms didn’t understand.
Since then, we’ve helped 10,200+ Australian businesses get legally protected without the corporate runaround – no hourly billing, no jargon, no surprises.
We work the way you do: 100% online, fast responses, transparent pricing and clear, practical advice. Because online businesses deserve lawyers who actually understand online business.
Are you qualified Australian lawyers?
Yes. Legal123 is founded and led by Vanessa Emilio, a qualified Australian lawyer with 25+ years of experience specialising in online businesses.
We’re an Australian Incorporated Legal Practice registered with ASIC and regulated by the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner and The Law Society of NSW.
We’ve helped 10,200+ Australian businesses since 2009. Our documents are legally enforceable and drafted to comply with Australian law.
How are you different from traditional law firms?
We’re built for online businesses. Traditional firms aren’t. Here’s how we’re different:
- Pricing: Fixed fees quoted upfront, not hourly billing with surprise invoices
- Speed: Legal templates instantly, custom documents in 72 hours (not 2-6 weeks)
- Clarity: Everything explained in plain English, not buried in legal jargon
- Expertise: We specialise in e-commerce, SaaS, agencies — business models that traditional lawyers don’t understand
- Service: Same-day email responses, 100% online since 2009
- Philosophy: We’re not corporate lawyers doing “online stuff”. We’re online business specialists who happen to be lawyers.
What types of online businesses do you work with?
We specialise in online businesses, service providers, and professionals. Our clients include:
- Professional service providers (coaches, consultants, personal trainers, copywriters)
- Health and wellness practitioners (psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors)
- Creative professionals (photographers, graphic designers, social media marketers)
- Tech and digital businesses (web developers, app developers, SaaS, online course creators)
- Property professionals (property managers, holiday rental hosts)
- Freelancers (independent contractors, tradies)
- E-commerce and online retailers (Shopify stores, digital products, subscription services)
If you run a business online, work with clients remotely, or need legal protection for your website or app, we can help. We’ve worked with 10,200+ Australian businesses since 2009.
Do you offer custom legal agreements or just legal templates?
We offer three options depending on your needs:
Legal Templates: Download instantly for standard situations (Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, Client Agreements). Perfect if your business model is straightforward.
Custom Drafting: We draft bespoke agreements tailored to your specific situation in 72 hours. Fixed-fee pricing. Ideal if legal templates don’t fit your needs.
3-Month Legal Transformation Program: Complete business legal overhaul with ongoing lawyer access. For scaling businesses that need a full legal foundation.

How long do custom legal agreements take?
We respond with a quote within 48 hours of your inquiry. But the drafting timeline depends on complexity:
- Standard custom work (Client Agreements, Contractor Agreements, NDAs): 3 business days
- Moderate complexity (multi-clause service agreements, licensing terms): 5 business days
- Complex projects (multi-party partnerships, intricate IP agreements): 5-7 business days
We’ll confirm your specific timeline when we send your quote.
For comparison: Traditional lawyers typically take 2-6 weeks for custom drafting.
Do you offer ongoing legal advice?
Yes, but it depends on what you need:
- For one-off questions: Book a 30-minute consultation call
- For specific projects: Our custom drafting includes guidance on your documents and how to implement them
- For ongoing support: Our Legal Transformation Program includes 3 months of direct lawyer access – ask questions, get guidance, and make decisions with confidence as you scale
We’re qualified Australian lawyers who can provide legal advice (not just legal document templates). All advice is provided in writing to ensure you have a clear record for your business.
How much does it cost?
Three ways to work with us, all with transparent fixed pricing:
- Legal Templates: $39 – $299 +GST (instant download, DIY-friendly)
- Custom Legal Drafting: Starting at $275 +GST (fixed-fee quotes provided within 48 hours)
- Legal Transformation Program: $2,097 +GST (3 monthly payments of $699)
For comparison: Traditional law firms typically charge $300 – $600 per hour with no price cap, and a basic custom contract can easily cost $3,000 – $5,000. Our fixed-fee pricing means no surprise invoices.
Legal Compliance Check
Find Your Exact Legal Gaps in 2 Minutes
Do you collect any personal info, like names or emails, through a form?
You need a Privacy Policy – it’s required by Australian law the moment you collect names, emails, or any personal data. Missing a Privacy Policy? Fix this with our Privacy Policy Template.
OK, let’s move on.
Do you offer any advice on topics like health, finance, or fitness?
Advice in these areas creates real liability. A generic disclaimer won’t cut it – you need one tailored to your specific advice type. Using a generic disclaimer? Fix this with our Disclaimer Templates
OK, let’s move on.
Is your website protected with a Disclaimer and a Copyright Notice?
OK, let’s move on.
You’re leaving your content unprotected and yourself exposed. These are baseline protections every website needs. Fix this with our Website Legal Package
Do you sell products or services directly from your website?
You need Website Terms & Conditions. They protect you in disputes, outline your policies, and most payment processors require them. Missing T&Cs? Fix this with our Website Legal Package
OK, let’s move on.
Do your Terms & Conditions include refunds, returns, and warranties?
OK, let’s move on.
Australian Consumer Law doesn’t allow blanket “No Refunds” policies. Your terms must include compliant refund and warranty provisions. Fix this with our Website Legal Package
Do you earn money from affiliate links or paid product reviews?
Undisclosed paid endorsements breach Australian Consumer Law. You need a clear disclosure statement. Check you’re compliant and read our Legal Guide to Affiliate Marketing
OK, let’s move on.
Do you display customer testimonials or reviews on your site?
Publishing fake or selectively edited testimonials is illegal. You need a system for genuine, compliant social proof. Make sure you’re compliant, read our Testimonials Compliance Guide
OK, let’s move on.
Do you work with contractors, freelancers, or consultants?
No signed agreement = no protection. You’re exposed to disputes over scope, payment, IP ownership, and employee misclassification. Fix this with our Contractor Agreement Template
OK, let’s move on.
Does your business have partners or multiple shareholders?
This is high-risk. Without a formal agreement, you have no exit plan, no dispute resolution, and no protection if something goes wrong. If you’re exposed, read our Guide for Shareholders
OK, let’s move on.
Is your business registered as a Pty Ltd Company?
OK, let’s move on.
As a sole trader or partnership, your personal assets are on the line. A Pty Ltd company structure creates a legal barrier between you and business liabilities. Need advice? Book a 30-minute Call
Have you trademarked your business name and logo?
OK, let’s move on.
Registering your business name does not protect your brand. Anyone can use your name for similar services until you register a trademark. Protect your brand with our Trademark Registration Service
Do you use images on your website that you didn’t create yourself?
If you don’t have a license, you’re infringing copyright. This includes most images found via Google. Use royalty-free sources or purchase licenses. Don’t risk it. Read our Image Copyright Guide
OK. That’s it – you’re done with the quick legal compliance quiz.
This covers the basics. For a complete review of your legal setup:
