Welcome to Aspect Legal
Road to 1 Million!
We’ve set the goal to reach 1 Million Positive Impacts this financial year. Every time you do business with us, you are helping us impact the lives of thousands of people in need. Our partnership with Buy 1 Give 1 (B1G1) enables us to make high impact donations to worthy causes on your behalf at no extra cost to you.
We’re a team
Our solicitors specialise in different areas, working closely as a team to ensure we meet your needs effectively. So depending on your matter, you will probably meet a few of us over time – in order that we have the right specialist working on the right matters with you. If you want to see a bit of information about our specialty areas, check out our website.
We’re transparent
We absolutely value price transparency. So wherever possible we will provide estimates before we start work. But sometimes it’s difficult to estimate the cost from the outset, so we always use a time recording system. You choose how often you get updates on timespend, e.g. fortnightly, weekly, or daily if you like getting lots of reports!
As a default, we invoice at the end of the month, but are more than happy to accommodate alternate arrangements as you need them, just hit reply to talk to us about this.
Our costs agreement sets out our hourly rates (including discounted hourly rates for retainer clients) and full billing details– check out this link for full details.
We innovate
We are constantly looking for ways to keep at the forefront of innovation in commercial law and in our dealings with you, our clients. In order to do that we are constantly developing and refining our systems and approaches. So if you ever have any ideas that you would like to share with us – please let us know. Your feedback and ideas are extremely important to us, and we always welcome with open arms any suggestions or feedback that you might have.
As an example of one of our innovative approaches to providing free information about law, we’re one of the only commercial law firms in Australia that have a podcast, where we share our legal tips, tricks and expertise. Indeed we have not 1, but 2 of them! We’ll periodically send you information about the podcasts most relevant to you – but please tell us if you don’t want to receive information about them anymore, and we will remove you from that list (or alternatively you can hit “unsubscribe” at any time).
We also provide fixed fee monthly retainer arrangements. Our retainer clients enjoy discounted rates, as well as the benefit of an on-call legal team that partners with their business. If you are interested in a retainer arrangement – click here to organise a time to speak to our team about how we can make a retainer work for you.
We care
We really care about ensuring that you’re truly satisfied. So if at any point you’re not happy about anything, or if you ARE really happy about something, we invite you to contact Joanna Oakey, our Managing Director and Chief Client Satisfaction Officer personally, because we want to know about your experience.
You will also from time to time receive very short customer satisfaction surveys from us. Your responses to these are extremely important to us to enable us to continue to refine and develop our approaches. I know, I know, we get surveys all the time too – but we would deeply appreciate the 2 minutes it might take you to fill out ours – and promise to be forever grateful!!
It’s just a nice smooth process and there’s a lot of communication which as a business broker is really critical. Aspect Legal is very good at just being available and communicating.
– David Ferraz (Business Broker)
What I love about working with Aspect is that we’re able to approach Aspect at times when things are stalled or when things are actually, you know, perhaps about to collapse, we can get to the root of the problem and we can speak to each other in plain English. And it really, really helps the deal.
