How scoping & fees work
Indicative starting fees, written fixed-fee quotes, and scope boundaries.
Indicative fees & written scope
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call to understand your matter, timing and scope. Advice follows once you have engaged us, so it can be properly considered and given in writing. Afterwards, we send a written scope and fixed-fee quote. Work begins once you have accepted our fixed-fee quote and engagement terms, and if a matter changes materially mid-way, we pause and agree any revised fee in writing first. Before work starts, we are required by law to verify the identity of our clients (and, for companies, their owners and controllers).
How draft origin affects scope
Whether your draft comes from an investor, a template, or an AI tool, we will tell you what it does, what it misses, and what to push back on. Note that heavily modified, overseas, or AI-generated drafts often require substantial redrafting to work under Australian law.
Who we act for
We work with startups and their founders. On most matters our client is the company. Where a founder’s personal interests differ, we’ll tell you and recommend separate advice. We check for conflicts before taking on any new matter and keep what every client tells us confidential.
Australian law & specialist input
We advise on Australian corporate, fundraising, commercial, and IP law. Where a matter requires specialist tax, accounting, employment, or foreign legal advice, we flag it early and coordinate with your advisers.
All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and are the total professional fee you pay. Fixed fees cover our professional fees only and exclude statutory ASIC filing fees, registry search fees, and other third-party disbursements, which are passed on at cost where required.
