This Guide is designed for use by business people and professional advisers when starting a business. The purpose of the Guide is to explain some of the key issues, specific risks and the potential for getting things wrong and some opportunities where professional advisers can assist in securing better decisions.

You should not use this Guide as a do-it-yourself tool, because the risks in doing so are extremely high. Every business is different and requires the input of professional advisers – typically your lawyer, accountant and financial advisor.

Consultation

For new clients, I offer a paid initial phone consultation for $1,430 (incl. GST), which covers up to two hours of my time.

This option provides a relatively low-risk way for us to discuss your situation and explore how I may be able to help. I will provide initial advice and direction where possible. However, most matters require more than two hours to complete; if that’s the case, I’ll provide a follow-up proposal outlining how I'm able to help and an estimate of legal fees.

I set aside only a limited number of consultation times. If you can’t find a suitable time, or would like to clarify anything before booking, please get in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
