Questions we're asked

Questions Our Sydney Lawyers Answer On A Daily Basis

Straightforward answers to common legal questions from Sydney businesses, directors and individuals.

01

When is the right time for a growing business to hire a commercial lawyer?

The best time to involve a commercial lawyer is usually before a legal problem develops. Early advice can help you structure agreements properly, understand your obligations and reduce the likelihood of disputes later.

02

How do I choose which lawyer to work with?

Look for a lawyer with experience in the type of legal matter you are dealing with, clear communication and a practical understanding of your commercial objectives. The right lawyer should explain your options clearly rather than simply tell you what the law says.

03

What industries do Lazarus Legal commercial lawyers typically serve?

Our commercial lawyers work with businesses across a broad range of industries, including professional services, property, technology, construction, retail and growing private businesses throughout Sydney and Australia.

04

How much does a commercial lawyer cost?

Legal costs depend on the complexity and scope of the work. Wherever possible, we provide clear pricing information before work begins so you understand the likely cost and what is included.

05

Does Lazarus Legal offer ongoing legal retainers?

Yes. For businesses that require regular legal support, an ongoing arrangement can provide access to commercial legal advice as issues arise without having to engage a new lawyer for every matter.
