Fantastic communication and end result. Very professional. Would definitely hire them again for future contract needs. Thanks guys!
We engaged Rise Legal for support in the sale of a franchised business. This turned out to be a challenging and complex process, but Helen and the team went above and beyond expectations and made the process as smooth as possible. Excellent communication, attention to detail, and considerate towards our personal needs - highly recommended. Thanks again team.
We recently engaged Helen, Lucy and the team at Rise Legal to assist with drafting some documents for our business and they were exceptional to deal with. Extremely responsive and the fixed fee system makes bill shock a thing of the past. Great to see a modern approach to legal engagement. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing business assistance!
I've been a client of Rise Legal Business Lawyers since 2021 when they first drafted comprehensive terms and conditions for my trade business. Their understanding of the unique challenges faced by tradespeople was evident in the quality of their work.
Recently, I reached out to them again to have my terms and conditions reviewed to ensure they were still compliant with current regulations. Their team was prompt and thorough, providing me with the confidence that my business remains protected.
The terms and conditions they originally prepared proved invaluable when I had to pursue a significant outstanding debt. They were clear, concise, and left no room for misinterpretation. Having this legal documentation in place gave me the confidence to pursue the matter further, and ultimately led to a successful resolution.
I highly recommend Rise Legal Business Lawyers to any trade business. Their professionalism, expertise, and ongoing support are invaluable. They provide peace of mind knowing that your business is protected and that you have the legal tools necessary to deal with any issues that may arise.
It was great to work with the team at Rise Legal, they were easy to deal with and the turnaround was very efficient. Friendly and professional, will definitely use them again.
We initally contacted Rise Legal on matters setting up a company and covering share structure and legal requirements,. With the knowledge of the team we were advised on shareholder structure, company structure and company agreements to set up and have in place for our varying needs. The team kept the process moving forward with Helen leading but supported by her knowledgable staff, covering a number of items and giving us varying insight into what we were looking to achieve. The outcome is we have clarity, a suitable share structure as well as avoiding potential pit falls going forward. Rise Legal also supported us in other areas as we progressed through the inital setting up phase ensuring we had excellent legal advise to move forward.
The Team at Rise Legal are lovely to deal with and answered my never ending questions with complete ease. The work that they have completed for us is extremely detailed and feel that they went above and beyond our expectations.

We have been working with Rise Legal for over 10 years. Rise Legal provided ourselves with advice producing our Shareholder and Buy Sell Agreements and amending as and when required. The expert support we have received has proved to be invaluable. We highly value our ongoing relationship with Rise Legal and would not hesitate to recommend their services.
Amber, Helen and the team at Rise legal have been integral in the success of us exiting a franchise model. With all of the complexities of contracts, clauses and legalities.... you need someone in your corner that really knows their stuff.

I’ve had Positive experience with Rise legal, they gave me time and helped breaking down and explaining legal terms to me, I will definitely use again in the near future.
Rise Legal was well recommended by other companies in the same industry. I've used their services to update my t&c's and contracts and I couldn't be happier with the results. Quick and objective, they delivered a lot more than I actually considered. I will be using them again and I highly recommend Rise Legal! Thank you guys!
Rise legal have been involved with the QHI Group of companies for 2 years and we have found them to be diligent and professional at all times. We commenced our journey with the franchising of our building company and then moved into trademarking our brands, logos and names. Trademarking has been a very tricky journey, dealing with government is never simple anymore and it can often feel like the system is designed to keep the small business entrepreneur down. Rise legal through its consistent work in pushing back against this rotten, awful government swamp got us over the line though. I cant rate them high enough and encourage anyone navigating the "legalised corruption" that we call a bureaucracy these days should engage great lawyers like Rise to do the heavy lifting if you can. Many thanks guys!
I engaged Rise Legal for me business, for all my legal underwritings T&Cs, Privacy and website legalities. I found Rise Legal to be fantastic to deal with, professional and very responsive. I feel so much more relaxed and have a professionally presented business.
Rise Legal were recommended to me by another small business colleague. Their customer service, professionalism and legal advice is spot on and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Helen and Amy helped me with terms and conditions for my client agreements. It gives me peace of mind that it has all been done correctly and I am safe guarding my business as it continues to expand and grow. Thank you Helen and Amy for all you do for small businesses.
We engaged Rise Legal for Terms and Conditions for our trade based business, along with Subcontractor Statements and Employment Agreements etc. The team were very thorough and knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I will continue working with them for all our business documents. Highly recommend.
This department has 5 Star rating for a reason. The whole team made my transaction with them so seamless, it was thoroughly unexpected and I’m already looking forward to finding an excuse to deal with them again. Thank you, ladies. INCREDIBLE!!
Great service! Lucy, Helen and team were really attentive to our needs as a small business. Would highly recommend!
Massive thanks to The Rise Legal Team, particularly Lucy who I dealt with. She provided me with a clients contract agreement that I couldn’t be more impressed with.

Helen and her team at Rise Legal are all super friendly and approachable. Their expertise and knowledge in their area and their fixed pricing makes them a stand out for any business requirements.
We engaged Rise Legal as our commercial business lawyers to draft a bespoke collaboration agreement tailored to our business needs.
The contract was explained to us thoroughly and contract amendments were included as part of our initial fixed fee (we have been stung here by other law firms in the past).
The team provided a professional and efficient service and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process.
It is great to know we have a trusted legal team in our corner thanks to Rise Legal!
We found the process of creating Terms and Conditions with Rise Legal to be efficient and hope it will protect our business in future, it only took the one bad client to show how important it is to have strong and legally sound Terms and Conditions.
This will provide peace of mind, dissuade non genuine clients and protect us from additional debt recovery costs in future.
Rise Legal made everything so easy. They made our "Terms and conditions" to suit our business. I liked it was not just a template we were getting. I recommend Rise Legal for any Tradies out there.
Rise Legal are extremely easy to work with and provide a professional and efficient experience from start to finish. Helen, Lucy and Amy were super-stars!
Helen Kay, Amy Harrison and the team at Rise Legal have been amazing in helping me incorporate my company and set up a trust. They were very easy to deal with, prompt and focused on my needs. After consulting with them, I knew exactly what I needed to do, and what they were doing. I dealt with them both remotely and also took the opportunity to pop into their lovely office. I highly recommend them if you want a client focused experience for your business legals.
Thank you Rise Legal for your exceptional work. I have engaged with your firm and Helen Kay numerous times over the last few years for corporate law, contractor agreements, and shareholder agreement advice, and while you always deliver high quality work and are very professional, what I most value is the peace of mind that we have great lawyers in our corner, looking after our best interests. Helen and her team are considered, thorough, highly experienced and knowledgeable, and they care. I also appreciate that you quote accurately so we can rest assured that huge legal bills aren't mounting!!! Thank you again, you truly are valued by us. Our company will be your client for a long, long time to come.
I chose Rise Legal as they are local to my business. I engaged Rise Legal to develop my e-commerce terms and conditions and website privacy policy. Rise Legal were very quick to deliver my requirements and allowed for review.
The team at Rise Legal recently helped us with a business purchase and lease negation. From the beginning they were transparent about fees and inclusions and were flexible in supporting us with what we needed. Helen and her team where always there to help, happy to answer questions (even the panicked 11th hour ones) and strived for our goals in all negations to ensure that we received the best legal outcomes. Their level of knowledge and professionalism was of the highest calibre which brought a lot of comfort and confidence during such a stressful time.
We engaged Rise Legal to complete the terms and conditions for our website. Helen was actually very proactive and pointed out to us that they needed to be updated and offered to help get it all sorted. The process went smoothly from engagement, to payment and completion of the project and we loved that they offer set fee pricing for their services. The team are always a pleasure to deal with and just make things easy.
We worked with Helen on a complex transaction that reached it's zenith right over the Christmas holiday period. Helen and the team were professional and helpful throughout the whole process and made themselves available when needed. We would definitely recommend working with Rise Legal.
Rise Legal have been wonderful to deal with. They are very human & provided us with easy to understand advice & a clear direction.
We are a small trade business and contacted Rise Legal to assist us with contracts for both our Builder customers and Homeowners. They easily understood our requirements specific to our industry and have armed us with brilliant contracts to protect ourselves. Highly recommend.
I was referred to Rise to assist with reviewing a contract. My query was responded to immediately and I was provided with a very reasonable fixed price proposal. The contract review was done quickly and comprehensively. Would absolutely recommend Helen and her team and will definitely use them again in the future.
