Understand the next step
Describe the financing, security or lending dispute and your role. Personal guarantees and entity obligations should be identified separately before documents are approved.
Ask what financial or accounting advice is needed alongside the legal review.
A Western Melbourne search includes Footscray, Sunshine, Werribee and Point Cook. For a home purchase, building contract or family settlement, explain the stage you have reached and whether any document has already been signed.
For banking & finance, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant VIC experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Western Melbourne. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Explain the transaction, amount involved, parties and desired result. Provide the current agreement and relevant entity or trust details.
Ask which risks need legal, accounting, tax or technical advice. Identify essential terms and those you are willing to negotiate.
Agree who negotiates, approves documents and tracks continuing obligations. Clarify whether post-completion advice is included.
Request a defined scope or staged budget with assumptions about document review and negotiation rounds. Personal guarantees, tax and related disputes may need separate work.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Highlight signing dates, finance conditions and demands. Raise an inability to meet debts immediately so appropriate advice can be identified before further commitments.
