LEGAL DOCUMENTS
Your business legals should stand out.

Your legals are a reflection of your business; they should be on brand, look like you and sound like you.

Let’s be clear...
It’s not ok to keep putting it off.

TM Legal Atelier prepares tailored legal documents for businesses in the coaching, creative and consulting industries, Australia-wide. That includes client service agreements, business and website terms and conditions, privacy policies, and employment and contractor agreements. Every document is drafted for how your business actually works, using our Legals By Design® approach, on a fixed fee quoted upfront. Principal Solicitor Tracey Mylecharane has more than 20 years of commercial and litigation experience, and works closely with creative businesses, including interior designers, stylists, architects, building designers, and graphic and web designers.

At best, realising there’s a gap in your legal documents can be confronting. At worst, it can cost you big time.

And let’s be real - solicitor Google or Chatgpt have a reputation for leaving small business owners exposed. No two businesses are the same, and generic advice and templates aren’t adequate.

I work with Australian businesses in the coaching, creative and consulting industries to design legal documents that work. My creative clients are predominantly interior designers and stylists, architects, building designers, and graphic and web designers. I bring the passion for contracts to the table; these business owners bring the flair. Together, we create incredible, tailored legal documents that really work.

It’s worth it to engage the experts.

MAYBE THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • Your legal documents are outdated and don’t reflect where you’re at

  • Your template is downloaded from a weird website

  • You threw it together yourself

  • You copied and pasted someone else’s (changing the name, of course!)

I totally understand - there’s no judgement here. So many business owners do this, especially when they’re starting out and time-poor.

This is different though.
You’re ready to uplevel. 

You’re working hard to grow your business, and you want to protect what you’ve built.

Wherever you’re at, whatever’s happening, I can support you to take care of what needs to be done using our signature approach, Legals By Design®.

Frequently asked questions

Further reading

  • Most service businesses need a client service agreement or terms and conditions, website terms and conditions, and a privacy policy if you collect personal information. If you have a team, you'll also need employment or independent contractor agreements. The right mix depends on how you sell and deliver your services. The free Essential Legal Checklist is a good place to start.

  • Templates rarely reflect how your business actually works, and they're often out of step with the Australian Consumer Law and the unfair contract terms laws. If a term is unfair, or your client didn't properly accept your terms, you may not be able to rely on them when it matters most.

  • Legal documents are prepared on a fixed fee, quoted upfront, so there are no surprise invoices. Client service agreements start from $2,495 + GST. I provide tailored proposals for my clients, including packaged fees to be more cost-effective when we are preparing more than one document.

  • Most documents are ready within 2 to 3 weeks of our initial consultation, depending on how many documents you need and how quickly feedback comes back.

  • Yes. A large part of my practice is interior designers, stylists, architects, building designers, and graphic and web designers. I understand how design projects run, from scope and variations to payment stages and who owns the designs. Interior designers can test their current agreement with the free Interior Design Self Audit Checklist.

  • Legals By Design® is my signature approach to legal documents. Your legals are a reflection of your business, so they should be on brand, look like you and sound like you, while protecting you properly.

  • Yes. TM Legal Atelier is a fully virtual practice, so I work with businesses Australia-wide.
