Our Start-up Legal Services

Ask one of our start-up lawyers and advisors what motivates them to go to work each day and the will likely say that it’s the ability to work with burgeoning start-ups. There is nothing more exciting than the energy of entrepreneurialism, and we love watching a client go from one founding member with a big idea to an established success story with a whole team reaping the rewards.

Of course, one of the reasons start-ups are so exciting, is because they are taking risks, and that means that sometimes the risk doesn’t pay off.

9 out of 10 Australian start-ups fail. In our experience, most start-up founders are acutely aware of this – but what hurts is when their start-up fails for avoidable reasons. Failing to register a trade mark, falling victim to an onerous contract, getting shafted by your co-founder, or having a competitor sweep in and steel your idea, are just a few examples of the challenges start-ups face along their journey.

Lazarus Legal’s specialists are here to help you chase your dream, while protecting you every step of the way. We listen to your incredible ideas and then give you the legal reality check you need to ensure you are on track for success!

What are the legal implications of your venture? When should you obtain a trade mark? Should you sign that NDA before approaching suppliers? How do you go about setting up your employment contracts or distribution channels so that your product secrets are kept safe and your idea is protected?

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a business lawyer do?

Aspiring businesses tend to disrupt and take risks. They don’t play it safe. And that’s one of the reasons they succeed. But could be the reason they get into a legal jam. Your business needs a savvy business lawyer to manage and minimise your risks. It’s a lawyer’s role to think about all the things that could go wrong with the company and think of ways to avoid these problems from occurring.

Business owners are often optimists and for them, the potential for legal risks can be easily underestimated. It may be difficult to imagine a trusted employee giving away a trade secret, a supplier providing something substantially poorer quality than you paid for, or a customer refusing to pay an invoice, but these things happen. That’s when good business lawyers come in.

Why do I need a business lawyer?

A business lawyer can help you and your business do a multitude of tasks and take on several complex initiatives. They can help and advise you on the legal structure of your business, draft and create various contracts and agreements, make sure your advertising is compliant, protect your intellectual property, respond and manage legal disputes, and a lot more.

How can my business benefit from your legal services?

At Lazarus Legal, we have a team of business lawyers with a diverse background and expertise. We are a one-stop-shop for all your business legal requirements.

What our clients are saying

"Mark and his team are very professional, fair and fast. I'd highly recommend them for any legal matters."

"I recently requested the help from Mark on a contract matter I was trying to resolve. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and professional in his dealings with both myself and the other party, which is equally important in my opinion. He simplified a lot of the jargon where this is not my expertise, which made the whole process infinitely less daunting. I can’t recommend him enough. He will be my first call if I require help in future."

"Mark and Barry are fantastic. They took the time to make sure I got the best result and understand the complexities of the documents created. High quality work, very professional, very thorough and highly recommended. Thanks guys!"

I recently engaged Mark Lazarus to assist me with a property related matter having first engaged Barry more than 20 years ago. The level of professionalism, advice and service provided by Mark has been absolutely first class and consistent with the excellent service provided by Barry many years ago. Mark’s enthusiasm, focus, passion and determination throughout the process has been extraordinary and a credit to the firm which he represents. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

"Mark was kind enough to meet with us for an introductory chat and straight away offered valuable advice about some of the legal questions our startup was facing. He was quick to understand our business needs and provided insight into multiple options we had in a way that was understandable to us. Mark was a pleasure to deal with."

“I have worked with Mark on several matters to date and have been impressed on each and every one. Mark has a strong work ethic and coupled with his attention to detail and overall legal understanding makes him our first choice when it comes to legal services and advice”.
