Small and medium businesses usually need a lawyer at the moments that carry real risk: setting up the structure, signing a lease or major contract, raising money, taking on a partner, buying or selling the business, or dealing with a dispute or unpaid debt. A commercial lawyer who understands your industry can save money by fixing problems in the documents before they become disputes. Larger firms offer specialist teams in areas such as competition law, privacy and banking, while many regional firms cover the everyday needs of local businesses and farms.
Why business law matters
Legal issues are among the most common reasons small businesses fail. Prevention costs far less than disputes.
The Australian context
Businesses operate under federal company, tax and consumer law plus state laws on leasing, licensing and property.
Understand the next step
A practical guide to business & commercial in Brisbane CBD
Choosing the right kind of assistance
Start with the commercial objective: entering a contract, changing ownership, raising finance, resolving a dispute or managing risk. Identify the legal entity and who may give instructions. A company, its directors and its shareholders do not necessarily have the same interests.
Working with a firm in Brisbane CBD
In Brisbane CBD, compare the individual lawyer’s practice and the proposed scope of work. A commercial firm, family team and criminal defence practice may all be centrally located but provide very different services.
For business & commercial, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant QLD experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Brisbane CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
How the engagement may progress
01
Explain the transaction, amount involved, parties and desired result. Provide the current agreement and relevant entity or trust details.
02
Ask which risks need legal, accounting, tax or technical advice. Identify essential terms and those you are willing to negotiate.
03
Agree who negotiates, approves documents and tracks continuing obligations. Clarify whether post-completion advice is included.
Fees and the scope of work
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.
Dates to raise at first contact
Highlight signing dates, finance conditions and demands. Raise an inability to meet debts immediately so appropriate advice can be identified before further commitments.
Questions to ask a business & commercial adviser
Who is your client: the business or me personally?
What specialist input is required?
Which risks and exclusions should I understand before approving the document?
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer to start a company?
You can register a company yourself. A lawyer is useful for the shareholders agreement, the right structure for tax and asset protection, and making sure your contracts and terms protect you.
Should a lawyer review a commercial lease?
Yes. Leases often run for years and can include costly obligations such as make-good, outgoings and personal guarantees. Some states also have retail leasing laws that affect your rights.
What can I do about an unpaid invoice?
A lawyer can send a letter of demand, and if that fails, start recovery proceedings. For companies, a statutory demand can be an effective option in the right circumstances.
