Protect Your Business from hidden legal risks in just one hour

legal health check

Running a business is hard enough without worrying about contracts, disputes, or hidden legal risks.

At New Era Lawyers, we help business owners like you avoid costly mistakes, protect your revenue, and safeguard your family’s wealth – all in a single 60-minute Legal Health Check.

For a fixed fee of $990, you’ll walk away with a clear, actionable plan to make confident business decisions.

Why you need a Legal Health Check

  • Often Business failures could have been avoided with simple legal advice.
  • Many business owners assume legal advice is expensive – but prevention is far cheaper than fixing a mistake.
  • A Legal Health Check identifies issues before they become big, expensive problems, protecting your time, money and future.

 

One of our clients was trapped in a pseudo-franchise agreement, paying 20% of their revenue with no value returned. Five years later, without legal advice upfront, they had no way out and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Knowing your rights puts you in control.

Don’t wait for something to go wrong. Get a Legal Health Check today.

How the Legal Health Check works

Step 1

We learn about your business

Firstly, tell us about your business so we know what your objectives and priorities are.

We can meet in person, via phone or teleconference, whatever suits you.

Step 2

We identify risks

Once we get an understanding of your business, we identify the legal risks most relevant to you; from contracts to IP, partnerships and business structures.

Step 3

You get your report

A clear, easy to read report showing:

  • Immediate risks that need attention
  • Minor issues you can monitor
  • Recommendations and next steps
Step 4

Implement your plan

We meet again to answer your questions and create a prioritised plan of action so you can make confident decisions moving forward.

Key Areas We Cover

Here’s what a Legal Health Check does for your business – and why business owners nod and say “yes, I need this” when they read it.

  1. Contracts – Protect Your Bottom Line

Ever signed a contract thinking you were safe… only to discover hidden costs later?

Real story: A client thought they had a fixed-price hardware supply contract. A hidden clause passed on a 10% import tariff, slashing their profit margin.

Know exactly what you’re signing. Avoid hidden costs. Protect your revenue.

 

  1. Asset Protection – Safeguard Your Family and Wealth

Your business is growing – but are your personal assets protected?

Real story: We’ve seen clients lose homes and life savings because their business structure didn’t protect personal assets.

Secure your family’s financial future and sleep easy knowing your assets are safe.

 

  1. Trademarks – Protect Your Brand

Your brand is your business. What if someone else copies it?

Real story: One client had built a successful brand for years, only to learn they were infringing on someone else’s trademark. They faced a costly rebrand or legal claims.

Protect your brand, avoid rebranding, and prevent costly disputes.

 

  1. Intellectual Property – Turn Ideas into Assets

Your ideas are valuable – are they really yours?

Real story: A client of ours created a world-first technology. We secured full IP ownership, allowing them to license it globally and generate royalties for years to come.

Make your ideas work for you, not someone else.

 

  1. Employment Contracts & Contractors – Avoid Headaches

An underperforming employee or misclassified contractor can cost your business big money.

Real story: Misclassified contractors required back-pay obligations and superannuation, creating unexpected financial burdens.

Avoid disputes, fines, and confusion with clear employment and contractor agreements.

 

  1. Business Structures – Build for Growth

Your business structure should work for you, not against you.

Ensure your business is set up for growth, investment, succession, and asset protection.

 

  1. Partnerships – Prevent Costly Disputes

Partnerships can be exciting – until they go wrong.

Real story: A client’s business partner misused business funds. A pre-prepared shareholders agreement allowed them to resolve the dispute without the need to go to court.

Avoid stress, litigation, and costly disagreements.
