Our Fees
Fixed Fee Document Preparation
Overview
Don’t delay – get started today! In the menu bar above, under for Clients, you’ll find our Intake Forms. The forms are grouped by category, and we’ve included the category in the service name (e.g. COMMERCIAL, EMPLOYMENT).
Before we get to work, we will perform a conflict and availability check, and will then provide a costs/client agreement to you for your review or contact you to discuss your matter further.
Typically, we turn these documents around between a day and a week from engagement.
What services are covered in the fixed rate?
- Receive and review your instructions on our intake form and discussion if needed (up to 30mins)
- Prepare a first draft of the relevant document/s tailored to your requirements
- Discuss with you the draft document/s, your instructions and any questions or further requirements you may have (up to 30 mins)
- Draft any required amendments to the document/s following our discussion (up to 30 mins) and provide the final draft to you (word format)
- Correspondence with you in achieving the above
What is out of scope?
Extensive conversations and redrafting outside of the scope above, any work after the completion of the scope above, such as discussions, correspondence, reviewing amendments (for example, should the other party request changes) or actions (like registering a change of owner of a trademark with IP Australia) will be charged at $450/hr plus GST ($495) in 6 minute intervals. We may discuss fixed fees or fee caps with you once it is apparent that further work will be required.
Where outlays or disbursements may arise, we will let you know. These amounts are not included in the fixed rate.
