When You Need a Contract Lawyer
Our templates protect thousands of Australian businesses – and for most situations, they’re the fastest, most cost-effective solution.
But templates are built for common scenarios.
When your business model is unique, the deal is significant, or the structure is complex, you need a contract lawyer in your corner before you sign or send anything.
If any of these apply, a contract lawyer removes the gaps before they become expensive problems:
- You’ve been sent a contract to sign and aren’t sure what’s in it
- AI-generated terms that don’t hold up under scrutiny
- Business model has evolved – but your contracts haven’t
- Revenue share, royalty or complex payment structures
- White-label, reseller or multi-party arrangements
- Preparing for investor due diligence
- High-value deals where ambiguity is too risky
- Combining products, services and IP in one agreement
- Mergers, acquisitions or structural changes
- Industry-specific compliance (RTO, NDIS, allied health, regulated sectors)

What Our Clients Say
We needed comprehensive terms to comply with regulations and legal requirements for our new business and found Legal123.com.au very easy to work with. They bought to our attention that we needed additional medical disclaimers which we implemented. The process was very easy and their service very personal and prompt. You can have confidence in using Legal123.com.au
I received excellent service from Vanessa, she was patient and meticulous in her work. I am happy with the extensive amount of detail and care that has gone into creating our bespoke business Terms of Use, Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
When we decided to sell Flying Solo, I sought a lawyer who would take the time to guide and steer us. We have loved our business for over a dozen years and wanted the sale process to be as enjoyable and satisfying as the entire journey. Legal123 gave us everything we were looking for and more. I felt confident in the competent hands of true professionals. A surprisingly wonderful close to a wonderful chapter of business life.
I spent a fair bit of time researching a source for website documents (terms, privacy policy) before finally deciding on Legal123. I am extremely happy with the website package from Legal123. It is excellent value and tailors the Terms of Service according to business requirements. I was also very impressed with their prompt support when I needed some amendments to cover my business specific situation.
I highly recommend Vanessa Emilio of Legal123. I purchased the Contractor Agreement template which I was really happy with. I also required some tweaks to a different agreement, which she submitted to me the same day. Vanessa is friendly, professional and extremely responsive; and importantly, she’s a breath of fresh air in the legal space. I will definitely use her services again and will recommend her templates to colleagues and clients. Thank you Vanessa for your five star service!
I purchased the Website Legal Package and paid a little bit more to have it customised to suit my unique needs. Legal123 were absolutely fantastic - very responsive and very helpful. I feel I got great value for money. My new web business now has all the Ts & Cs in place for just hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. I'll definitely turn to you the next time we require a legal template. Thank you!
After numerous conversations with some of Australia's leading Legal firms, I stumbled across Legal123. During the first few minutes of our conversation it was clear to me that Vanessa's knowledge around Website legalities was superior. Engaging Legal123 so early in the piece enabled our team to make many critical changes to the point where Vanessa now plays a pivotal role in our success. I couldn't recommend Legal123 more highly.
Legal123 made getting all the website policies easy and at such a reasonable rate. I was also able to get additional policies done specific to my particular website product. So much cheaper and faster than going to a shopfront solicitor. Legal123 service was fantastic! They spent a lot of time explaining different legal terms and asking questions in order to get my tailored policies exactly right! Highly recommend and would definitely use again. Thanks a million!
Vanessa and the team at Legal123 are absolutely first class all the way. We have bought standard templates and also engaged them to prepare and review custom contracts and on all the criteria their level of service and knowledge surpasses any firm we've worked with before. I recommend them to any company or individual needing contracts or documentation prepared.

FAQs About Our Contract Lawyers
How much does a contract lawyer cost in Australia?
Contract drafting starts at $295 + GST, with most drafting between $295 and $990. Contract review is a flat $499 + GST for contracts up to 7 standard pages. The fixed fee covers everything: the work itself, plain-English explanations, one round of revisions and implementation guidance. No hidden costs. No hourly billing. Traditional firms bill the same work at $400-$600 per hour.
Do I need a lawyer to draft a contract?
You can write your own contract, and for simple, common situations a quality template is often enough. But a self-drafted or AI-generated contract that misses key clauses, uses unenforceable terms, or ignores Australian Consumer Law can cost far more to fix than it saved. If the agreement involves significant money, IP, ongoing obligations or an unusual business model, have a contract drafting lawyer prepare it properly the first time.
How long does contract drafting or review take?
Most drafting and review work is delivered within 5 business days of receiving your completed brief. You’ll receive your fixed-fee quote within 24 hours of receiving your full brief.
How is this different from using a template?
Legal document templates are designed for common scenarios. Custom legal documents are tailored specifically to your business model, commercial risks, and business structure. The document is created for you – not adapted from a generic starting point.
What if I need changes after delivery?
One round of revisions is included. You review the drafts and request adjustments to ensure the documents accurately reflect your business model and services.
Who will work on my contract?
Your contract is drafted or reviewed by senior Australian commercial lawyers who specialise in online and digital businesses. No juniors. No outsourcing.
Not sure whether you need drafting or review?
Yes. Tell us your situation in your enquiry and we’ll recommend the right approach when we send your quote. Or book a 30-minute call to talk it through first. You can also see everything we do for small businesses on our small business lawyer page.
What industries do you work with?
Online businesses, SaaS, e-commerce, coaches, consultants, allied health, subscription businesses, tradespeople, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, personal trainers, online course educators, and more. If you operate online, we understand your risks.
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Your fixed fee covers the drafting engagement. If your business evolves or Australian law changes, we can update or re-draft your documents under a new fixed-fee quote.
