Clear and practical legal solutions to meet your needs

Medium to Large companies in Australia generally spend about a quarter to half a million dollars on wages for senior legal staff (i.e. Legal Counsel) and commercial roles. That’s before any recruitment costs, dedicated office space and equipment, corporate training, benefits and retention costs.

Why not have the benefit of this senior knowledge, available as your company needs it, at a fraction of the cost?
