Advisors on Tap provides embedded legal experts who seamlessly integrate into your business operations on-demand for short to medium-term engagements.
Businesses and organisations are not rigid and inflexible structures – they’re dynamic, ever-changing and always on the move. So why should your legal support be any different?
At Lazarus Legal, we offer services that many other law firms do not. With our “Advisors on Tap” program, our flexible legal advisors and consultants are assigned to fit in with your business, and work directly with you in-house on a short to medium term basis.
Like our clients, we adapt. We immerse ourselves in the world of our clients. This allows your organisation to benefit from specialised boutique legal expertise on an “as-needed basis” without having to employ in-house Legal Counsel, which can be a costly commitment for any organisation.
Our flexible legal advisors and lawyers are available on-call to work with you as an extended arm of your business, dealing with all legal matters, so that you have peace of mind to get on doing what you do best, building your business!
We guide start-ups and established businesses on all aspects of their business, to ensure they are legally protected from day 1, and as their businesses continue to grow and expand.
Unexpected organisational workload or seasonal work that are commercial or legal in nature
Project management for relevant long term projects requiring considerable legal expertise
Providing support to short-staffed organisations affected by long term employee absences
When we launched Salon Lane, we required a very tailored membership agreement to be drafted! Mark and the team at Immerse tackled this head on and produced a robust agreement that we now use for all of our members! They did a great job and really nailed the brief!
Co-Founder & CEO
As a leader in innovative health and wellness products, we often engage with high profile influencers and ambassadors, and therefore require solid agreements to be put in place reflecting the deal terms. Immerse makes the entire process simple and transparent, allowing us to quickly secure the deals so we can focus on building epic collaborations. Thanks Mark and the team at Immerse for your continued support!

CEO & Notary Public
barry@lazaruslegal.com.au
With decades of experience in both Australia and South Africa, his wisdom is as renowned as his name. Back in the days when Schwarzenegger and Van Damme were kicking ass on VHS, Barry was kicking ass in the courtroom. And after all these years, he still has a reputation for refusing to back down.Barry is definitely the badass you’d want in a fight – in court or otherwise. But really, he’s a big softie. Just don’t let him know you know that (although he probably won’t read this anyway – navigating the Internet is not his strong point).
Aside from putting other lawyers in their place, taking long walks on the beach and spending time with his family, Barry enjoys seeing others succeed. Not only is Barry a staunch and unmoving litigator, he has sharp business and commercial acumen having started up ventures from scratch and growing them into full-blown franchises – from real estate to creating ice cream, to making pasta. With his experience on both sides of the commercial and legal equation, you want this guy to be on your side, whether you’re the next Zuckerberg realising your genius, or the next Zuckerberg taking on your opponents in court.
When Barry is not busy lawyering about, he is a part-time lawn bowler and a wannabe comedian, but never took both as a day job, because let’s face it, he’s a lot better at his day job.
If someone ever threatens you to lawyer up…relax, call Barry and he’ll handle the rest.
Director
mark@lazaruslegal.com.au
He’s a bit of jet setter, splitting his time between Australia and the UK, maximising every hour of his professional life. He thrives on this adrenalin. It allowed him to work in private practice in Sydney, act for a host of famous celebrities in London, do a two year stint as a NSW barrister (and not the pretentious coffee type in the Melbourne laneways) and more recently did a gig as the Legal Director covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa for one of the world’s coolest fast-moving consumer good brands!
As an Aussie and UK lawyer and former barrister, Mark not only has the gift of the gab but he’ll walk the walk to prove it too. He likes to think he’s a bit like Harvey Specter or Michael Corleone, the main difference is you can actually retain him as your lawyer and consigliere. He’ll tell you how it really is and will take on any challenge head on. Although litigation and court advocacy comes naturally to him, commercial and IP is what gets his blood pumping!
When Mark is not out there doing his thing, you will probably catch him chilling at home with his family, on the sidelines of the soccer (football) pitch cheering on his two boys, crawling through mud obstacles, or training hard at the gym. Passion and commitment is what drives Mark to succeed, along with his burning desire to disrupt the legal profession by finding new ways to change the game.
He has sights on the future. So if you’re breaking new ground, ahead of the times, and on the verge of something big, but you need someone who’s got your back and who can give you straight up advice, this is the guy you will want on speed dial.
