Legal Counsel Retainers

Our law firm was built by in-house lawyers. We offer legal counsel retainers to small to large companies.

Our retainer clients include big brands as well as small businesses that have a need for ongoing legal counsel at a fixed rate.

Many of our clients spend significantly less on our ongoing retainer services than ad hoc legal advice. And the best part? We take the time to get to know your business so you don't sweat the small stuff.

What is the benefit of hiring in-house legal counsel?

Contract Review Costs

Our services aim to provide maximum flexibility, but without the usual private law firm price tag.

We can offer hourly rates for in-house legal assistance or if you like commitment, we can offer bespoke, fixed price packages – you decide!

Our retainer packages are offered on a weekly or monthly basis. This means you can hire a professional for a fixed price, without needing to watch the clock.

Hit The Ground Running

At Prosper Law, we understand that in-house legal teams are busy (that’s why you’re here – right?).

Our experienced lawyers can hit the ground running with our contract review services, negotiation and drafting, template development, and corporate due diligence.

We also advise on work-related disputes and investigations, eCommerce and marketing evaluation and advice, disclosure and matter management, and all of your ‘typical’ day-to-day legal duties.

How did you hear about us?

In-house Lawyer FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a legal counsel?

Our legal counsel retainers are designed around the individual needs of your business. We will arrange a meeting with you to understand the needs and objectives of your business, including whether you need a junior legal counsel or a senior legal counsel. We will then design an inhouse legal counsel retainer that meets your needs and budget.

You can tell us whether you would prefer an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly retainer. The longer the engagement, the cheaper our rates are.

What kinds of in-house legal counsel services does Prosper Law offer?

We provide a wide range of in house legal services, including:

  • Contract reviews and drafting
  • Risk and compliance advice
  • Privacy and data protection
  • Employment law advice
  • Policy and procedure evaluation
  • Workplace investigations
  • eCommerce and marketing compliance
  • Due diligence for mergers and acquisitions
  • Intellectual property and trademarks

Why do I need a legal counsel on retainer?

An in-house attorney can help in-house legal teams to manage their workload, fill gaps in employment and boost their range of legal expertise.

For businesses, having the comfort of fixed-fee legal advice is a cost effective way to get ongoing legal help.

Use experienced assistance to maintain flexibility with your in-house legal team, build internal relationships, and make the most of a diverse team.

Do you have lock in contracts for your legal counsel retainers?

Our contracts will have a notice period that is equal to the retainer engagement. For example, if you wish to hire our legal counsel on a monthly basis, one months’ notice is required to end the engagement.

Does your team have experience as in house lawyers?

Yes, each lawyer that is available for a legal counsel retainer has experience as an in house lawyer. The level of experience, industries and areas of law will differ from person to person and we’ll make sure we match you with a lawyer that can meet the requirements of your company.

Can I choose which in house lawyer I want to hire?

Yes, you can choose which legal professional you would like to retain. We can provide you with a full profile for each lawyer so that you can make an informed choice as to which legal counsel you would like to engage.

Are your in house lawyers offered on a secondment basis?

Our legal professionals will continue to be employed by Prosper Law Pty Ltd. When you engage our legal counsel on a retainer basis, you will be contracted with and invoiced by Prosper Law. We will continue to be responsible for all employment and other costs associated with our employment of the legal professional.
