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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
