If we need to speak with you to find out what you need, we do not charge for that. If you want advice that you can rely on to make a decision about your business, you will need to pay for that.

Take a look at our See for yourself but without the risk offer. Try us out first.

If you can provide us with a scope of what you need, we can provide a fixed quote. If you aren’t able to provide us with a fixed scope, then our charges will be on a time basis.

Our time is charged to four decimal points, and our rates range from $250 to $990 per hour.

While we’d love to be able to tell you yes, the reality is that no lawyer can make that guarantee. Just like doctors, we don’t know what you’ve done in the past, and that will influence your future outcomes. All we can do is apply our professional knowledge to your best advantage.

In Australia, lawyers are prohibited from acting on a contingency basis. However, it is possible to find other ways that may be workable for your company. This includes success fees or fee shaping. At Sharpe & Abel, we do not retain clients on a “no win, no fee” basis.

We’ve been through the legal websites that offer legal documents on the internet in Australia and if we think that there are resources that are less expensive and reasonable quality, we’ll always tell you. However, there are also a lot of “legal” documents on the internet that are pretty dangerous. Just take a look at Zhong v Guan - NSW Caselaw.
