A business contract lawyer drafts commercial agreements for businesses. Business contract lawyers work closely with businesses to develop contracts that can be used to grow, protect and professionalise how an enterprise operates.
There are many contracts that a lawyer can draft, but it’s important for the cost of those legal services to be commercially viable. A good contract lawyer can help businesses solve their contract problems for a fixed fee. Fixed-fee contract services allow business owners to factor the cost into their decision-making.

There are many contracts a lawyer can help with. As a business owner, you may at some point need help to review, draft or interpret:
A contract lawyer can also help businesses identify what kind of contract is needed. And, it can be helpful to understand if a contract is not going to achieve the desired outcome. For example, not every contract or clause is legally enforceable. Understanding the legal framework surrounding the business’s industry, product and service is key.
The cost of a business contract lawyer depends on the complexity and length of a contract. It also depends on how complex the business is and what the legal issues are.
Business owners can expect to pay anywhere between $500 to $5,000 for a contract.
It is best practice to engage a lawyer to review and draft business contracts. The risk of ‘getting it wrong’ cannot be overstated. The greater the consequence of the contract failing to achieve the intent of the business, the more important it is to engage a business contract lawyer. Because of this, businesses should engage a lawyer to prepare and interpret their contracts.
