Unfair Contract Term laws get sharp teeth
From November, the standard terms you use could be considered unfair and not only unenforceable but subject to hefty fines (e.g. $50m). The IT sector (along with finance and telco) has been identified as being a prime target for this legislation and SMBs are not excluded.
We are offering an initial review of your standard sales contract for a fixed fee of $1990 which includes:
- Unfair terms review of your standard sales agreement
- A one-on-one call with our Managing Partner to review the findings
- A plan for dealing with issues identified
- Advice on the key watch-out areas in your market segment.

FAQs
Yes – we offer a free first call to make sure we are the right fit to help with what you need. Just make a booking for a time that suits you. In accordance with the Legal Professional Rules we don’t provide legal advice until a costs agreement is in place and we confirm there are no conflicts that could impact our ability to help you fully.
Absolutely not. Our offerings are best suited to SMB companies that service the B2B market and are sales-driven. This can apply across a number of industries, and we have worked with clients in multiple sectors.
No, we don’t pretend to do it all – but we do help find a solution. We provide direct advice on transactional issues that affect most growing businesses. When it comes to specialist areas, for example, patents or litigation, as part of our Law-as-a-Service model, we engage experts for our clients and take over the burden of managing the progress of matters. We find this takes a lot of stress and wasted time away from our clients’, especially their executive teams.
There is no doubt AI is rapidly providing solutions to binary questions. Maybe it can even get you 95% of the way there on non-complex tasks. Unfortunately though when it comes to making sure that your business is protected and compliant and your deals are maximised it is in the 5% that often counts. It’s true we spend a lot less time drafting base contracts but that was the boring stuff anyway – we prefer to focus on the 5% that really matters to your business.
We’ve all heard it and to be honest, most of us have said it. At an operational level, it’s pretty true. Pulling out the contract terms usually isn’t needed when people take the time to make sure it clearly and accurately captures the commercial terms of the deal upfront. That’s why we prefer to be at the front end of the process. But remember when you go to value and sell your business, all of the contracts (including the back of a napkin ones) suddenly see the light of day and directly affect the multiple you can achieve, or even saleability at all, of your business. A bit of strategic thinking and investment upfront can really pay off down the track.
