I didn't really know where to start and it's very intimidating for a small business person to contact lawyers especially when you have no money. Brief Legal helped me figure out exactly what I needed to do and it also did it all for me.

Still unsure? Describe your situation and we’ll tell you what you need, or when you need a real lawyer instead.

No jargon, no upsell.

01
Is it legally binding?
Yes. These are proper legal documents, reviewed and approved by an Australian solicitor. Once signed, they're as binding as anything a law firm would produce. What makes a document binding is its content and execution, not the price you paid for it.
02
Why is it so cheap?
Because you're not paying for an office on Collins Street. Each template is approved by an Australian solicitor and kept current; software fills it in with your details. You pay for the document, not the overhead.
03
What if I actually need a lawyer?
Then we'll say so, and point you to the right one. Some situations need real legal advice; the chat tells you when yours does and matches you with a lawyer who handles exactly that, within your budget, instead of selling you a document that won't help.
04
Is it specific to Australian law?
Yes, that's the point. Fair Work, Australian Consumer Law, the Privacy Act, state-specific rules where they apply. Not a US template with the spelling fixed.
05
Do I need a subscription?
No, and you never will. You pay once for the document you need and it's yours forever. Nothing you buy is ever locked behind a subscription. No account required, no auto-renewal.
06
How long does it take?
About 15 minutes for most documents. Pick, answer the questions, preview, download.
