What we offer
Commercial Contracts and Agreements
As vastly experienced commercial and business solicitors, we insist on drafting in plain English and utilising the KISS principle when it comes to documents.
Business Structuring
The structure that you choose for your business will depend upon the size and type of business, your personal circumstances and the future plans for the business.
Wills and Powers of Attorney
It is essential that you have an up to date and current last Will. Divorce, marriage, defacto partners can all change or make a previous Will void and of no effect.
Starting a business?
The structure you choose for your business is crucial to get right when starting out. Let us help you identify the correct legal structure and and make sure you are legally shipshape at the get-go.
From Our Clients
Serving our clients is a privilege and a responsibility that we don’t take lightly. We are committed to creating excellent working relationships with our clients, and the results speak for themselves. Here’s what our clients are saying about us:
Steve Morris has been my business lawyer for 6 years. He has saved me literally thousands of dollars in negotiations with leases, suppliers and contracts. He’s guided me away from making potentially catastrophic mistakes and helped me realise my dream of owning a successful business. I’m a convert – a great commercial lawyer is a business owners friend. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone.
How We Charge
We provide flexible pricing arrangements in order to give peace of mind to our clients and to ensure that costs are never a surprise. You can use one or a combination of the below methods:
Fixed Fee
If you have a specific piece of work such a review of a legal agreement or a lease we can quote a fixed fee upfront.
Retainer
A Fee is paid in order to secure our services for us when required over an agreed period of time, this may be a monthly, half or full yearly retainer where we are available to undertake whatever work for you during this period.
Hourly
This is what many people are used to and is based upon just how long the particular matter takes to be completed. MCLs hourly rates are a fraction of the larger commercial firms due to our reduced overheads.

Starting a new business is not easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it! There are a number of Government organisations that can provide a wealth of information of what issues need to be considered before you launch off into the business world.
Contesting wills, what you need to know
More and more aggrieved persons are now actually contesting a deceased’s Will. This is commonly referred to as a “Family Provision” claim. Often it is referred to as an “FPA” (meaning “Family Provision Application”) or a “TFM” (meaning “Testator’s Family Maintenance”).

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. The same reasoning can be applied to whether a licence agreement constitutes a franchise agreement – it is a matter of substance over form.
