Got a specific problem? There's a package for that.

For businesses with unpaid invoices

Debt Recovery

Customers not paying, and worried court will cost more than the debt?

Get paid, without legal costs that outgrow what you're owed.

We focus on pre-litigation recovery, which resolves many debts without going to court. One monthly fee covers all of your unpaid invoices, not one fee per debt.

What's included, for every unpaid debt

• Review of your contract with each customer
• Letters of demand on mySMB Legal letterhead, and follow-up when payment is overdue
• Negotiation with customers who are willing to talk
• Statutory demands, where appropriate
• Settlement agreements, Deeds of Settlement and Release, and Payment Plan Agreements
• Chasing late instalments
• Monthly check-in call or written status report, whichever you prefer

For businesses signing any kind of contract

Contract Review

Signing contracts you haven't had time to check properly?

Sign with confidence, knowing the risks and what to push back on.

Pay per contract when you only sign the occasional one. Signing contracts most months? myLawyer includes one review a month, and myLawyer Plus one a week.

Client, supplier, contractor or partnership agreement: one fixed fee. Unusually long or complex contracts, and contracts with government agencies, are quoted separately before we start.

Every review includes

• A marked-up contract
• A short summary of key risks and recommended changes
• Two rounds of follow-up comments, and a call if you need one

Using your own templates? A one-off review and refresh is $350 + GST per template, so you have fewer points to negotiate every time.

For in-house legal teams

myCounsel Matter Packs

Too much on, and the big firm costs too much?

Extra legal capacity when you need it, at a price your CFO will approve.

Commit to a pack to lock in a lower rate per matter. You only pay for matters we complete, invoiced monthly in arrears. Nothing is paid upfront, and unused matters simply expire at the end of the pack, with no charge.

Steady overflow every month? myCounsel monthly covers up to 6 standard matters for $2,500 + GST.

Choose a pack

Every matter includes

• Contract review or drafting on your templates and to your playbook
• Returned ready for your sign-off, in your format
• Two-business-day turnaround
• One point of contact, and a monthly usage summary for budget reporting

A standard matter is a business-as-usual contract. Larger projects are quoted separately as a fixed fee. Litigation isn't included.

For businesses with a growing team

HR & Employment Foundations

Hiring people without the right contracts and policies in place?

An employment framework that protects your business with every hire.

Contracts and policies that reflect current Fair Work requirements, and support when a people issue needs handling carefully.

Choose what you need

• Employment contract template, updated for current Fair Work requirements, with the right protection on probation, confidentiality, IP and restraints. $350 + GST
• Employee Handbook and HR policies covering what your business needs to have in place for every employee. $1,000 + GST
• Termination within probation, handled properly: the right process and notice, the paperwork and termination letter, and support during the meeting itself. $1,500 + GST

For businesses launching a software or online product

Product Launch

Launch date set, but no customer terms in place?

Go live with terms built for your product, not copied from someone else's.

We start with a short overview and demo of your product, your pricing model and your target customers, and work to your launch date.

Customer terms tailored to your product, covering

• Subscription and payment terms
• Acceptable use
• Intellectual property
• Data and privacy
• Limits of liability that suit your product
• Compliance with the Australian Consumer Law
• One round of revisions and a call to walk you through the draft

For businesses raising money from investors

Capital Raising

Ready to raise, but unsure what you can offer, and to whom?

Raise capital on terms you understand, and within the rules.

Most small raises rely on exemptions under the Corporations Act, so the structure, the investors you approach and what you say to them all matter. We get it right from the term sheet to the share register.

What's included

• Advice on how to structure the raise and which disclosure exemptions apply
• Term sheet
• Share subscription agreement, SAFE or convertible note
• A new or updated shareholders' agreement
• Compliance review of your pitch deck and investor-facing website copy
• A data room checklist, so you're ready for investor due diligence
• Board and shareholder resolutions, ASIC filings and share register updates

For business owners buying or selling

Buying or Selling a Business

About to buy or sell, and worried about what you might miss?

Get the deal done, with the risks found before settlement, not after.

Whether you're buying your first business, acquiring a competitor or selling what you've built, we handle the legal side from heads of agreement through to settlement.

What's included

• Drafting or review of the sale agreement
• Legal due diligence: key contracts, leases, employees, IP and licences, with a plain-English report on what we find
• Negotiation of the terms that matter: price adjustments, warranties, restraints and earn-outs
• Lease assignment or a new lease for the premises
• Transfer of employees and their entitlements
• Transfer of IP, domain names and key customer and supplier contracts
• Coordinating settlement

For anyone buying a franchise

Buying a Franchise

About to sign a franchise agreement you don't fully understand?

Know exactly what you're committing to before you sign.

Under the Franchising Code, you have 14 days to consider the documents before signing, and a short cooling-off period after. That window goes quickly, so talk to us as soon as you receive the disclosure document.

What's included

• Review of the franchise agreement and disclosure document
• A plain-English report on what matters most: upfront and ongoing fees, territory, term and renewal, restraints, marketing fund contributions, and what happens when you want to sell or exit
• Review of the lease or licence for your premises
• Negotiation with the franchisor on the points that matter most to you
• The questions to ask the franchisor and existing franchisees before you commit
• A call to walk you through our advice, and help with the legal advice statement the franchisor will ask for
• Advice on the right structure to buy through

Once you're up and running, a myLawyer subscription keeps a lawyer on hand for staff, suppliers and anything that comes up with your franchisor.
