For businesses that prefer to manage legal matters internally, we offer custom legal templates and guides. Our experienced lawyers will scope your requirements, understand your operations, and develop bespoke documents tailored to your needs.

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.
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.
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.
Our legal counsels are licensed Australian legal practitioners. We each have our areas of focus and experience working as in-house legal counsel.
Meet our team of professional legal counsels – you’ll be glad you did.

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