“The longest contracts are not always the best. Sometimes lawyers can over-engineer a document. Let’s focus on what the client is trying to achieve.” ~ Chaz Dheer, Lawyer, Scope Legal
It’s not all about contract negotiation...

Unlike other law firms, we recognise that a business may need more than just contract negotiation and legal advice. Many clients from around the country come to us for guidance around strategy… and as their trusted legal advisers, we are able to offer advice on risk and structure to develop the right strategy for them.
“We are passionate about bringing our breadth of experience to any business context.
It is our mission to help businesses navigate the many complexities of the modern legal landscape, to consider the best options, anticipate consequences and manage outcomes. We pride ourselves in being true partners to our clients.”
