A commercial lawyer is your business's general counsel: reviewing contracts before you sign, setting up the right structure, protecting your brand, and resolving disputes before they escalate.
Legal problems in business are cheaper to prevent than to fix. Good contracts and structures protect owners and their personal assets.
Businesses operate under federal laws such as the Corporations Act and Australian Consumer Law, plus state laws on leasing, licensing and employment.
Understand the next step
Describe the commercial result sought and identify the business entity. The lawyer needs to know who can give instructions and whether advice is for the entity or a person involved in it.
Separate commercial, tax, accounting and personal advice where interests or expertise differ.
When comparing Box Hill, Ringwood, Glen Waverley and Doncaster firms, look for the practice area that matches the work required. Reviewing a sale contract and handling an existing property dispute are different engagements.
For business & commercial law, 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 Eastern 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.
In Victoria, the Magistrates' Court hears most criminal and minor civil matters, with the County Court and Supreme Court handling more serious cases. Residential tenancy, planning, building and discrimination disputes often go to VCAT. Lawyers are regulated by the Victorian Legal Services Board + Commissioner, which also handles complaints.
