This service may suit your business if you:
Many businesses only speak to a lawyer when something has already gone wrong. A dispute has escalated. An employee issue has become formal. A contract has been signed without being properly reviewed. A lease has created obligations the business did not fully understand.
Our Business Legal Packages are designed to shift that experience.
Instead of reactive legal advice, Coutts provides proactive support across the areas businesses most commonly need help with, including commercial leasing, corporate governance, commercial law, employment law, debt recovery and dispute resolution.
This may involve reviewing and updating your existing documents or helping you implement new documents, policies and processes that better protect your business moving forward. The template specifically notes that the services may involve reviewing and editing existing documents or implementing new documents and initiatives.
Commercial leases can shape your business costs, obligations and flexibility for years. Coutts can assist with commercial leasing, equipment leasing and lease-related advice to help you understand your obligations before you commit.
Support may include:
As businesses grow, structure and compliance become more important. Coutts can assist with corporate governance, statutory and regulatory obligations, corporate structures, licensing regulations and education or training advice aligned with industry standards.
Your contracts and business documents should support the way your business operates. Coutts can assist with terms of trade, payment terms, terms and conditions, privacy policies and key business documents.
Managing people comes with responsibility. Coutts can assist with employment contracts, HR policies and procedures, contractor agreements, disciplinary action, performance management and workers compensation-related matters.
Not every dispute needs to become litigation. Coutts can help businesses take early, strategic steps to resolve issues before they become more costly or disruptive.
The retainer template specifically lists commercial leasing, corporate governance, commercial law, employment law and dispute resolution as included service categories.
Every business is different. That’s why our packages are not one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand how your business works, where your risks sit, and what support will actually be useful to you
For businesses that want consistency, structure and ongoing support.
A fixed monthly package may include an agreed scope of business legal services, regular access to your dedicated lawyer, and allocated time to work through business priorities. This can be particularly useful for businesses that need help across several areas, such as contracts, employment law, governance, leasing and disputes.
This model is designed to give your business more certainty and a stronger legal foundation, with support that becomes familiar with your operations over time.
Best for:Growing businesses, employers, franchise-style businesses, multi-site businesses, or businesses wanting regular strategic support.
For businesses that do not need ongoing monthly support, but want a trusted legal team available when issues arise.
An ad hoc package may suit businesses that need advice from time to time, such as reviewing a contract, updating a workplace policy, preparing a letter of demand, reviewing a lease, or seeking guidance on a commercial issue.
This model gives your business access to legal support when you need it, without committing to a fixed monthly structure.
Best for:Small businesses, professional services firms, start-ups, sole traders, consultants or businesses with occasional legal needs.
As a full-service law firm, Coutts can support more than your day-to-day business legal needs. Clients on a tailored Business Legal Package may also receive a 20% discount on other Coutts legal services outside their agreed package scope.
This allows directors, executives, business owners and their teams to access trusted legal support across both business and personal matters, while keeping everything connected through one firm that already understands your business.
Additional services may include:
This means your business can access ongoing legal support where it matters most, while also having a broader legal team available when other issues arise.
We begin by understanding your business, your structure, your team, and the areas where legal support may be most useful.
We consider your immediate needs and the areas where proactive legal support could help protect your business interests and assets.
We shape the package around your business. This may include fixed monthly support, ad hoc support, or a tailored combination depending on your needs.
We begin with the issues that need attention first, whether that is contracts, employment documents, leasing, governance, debt recovery or dispute prevention.
As your business changes, your legal needs may change too. We continue to work with you to ensure the support remains practical, relevant and aligned to your business.
