What Is Commercial Law?
Commercial law governs the transactions, relationships, and legal obligations that arise in the course of running a business. It covers everything from the contracts you sign with suppliers and clients to how you lease premises, recover unpaid debts, or resolve disputes with business partners.
Unlike corporate law, which focuses on company structures and governance, commercial law is more concerned with the day-to-day operations and legal risks that come with doing business.
Our team of experienced commercial lawyers in Brisbane supports businesses at every stage, from startup through to growth, sale, or restructuring. We help you avoid costly mistakes, manage legal risks early, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Why Do You Need a Commercial Lawyer?
Every business, no matter its size, faces legal risks. Some are obvious, like disputes or unpaid invoices. Others are hidden in the fine print of contracts, leases, or supplier agreements. That’s where a skilled commercial lawyer can make all the difference.
Ask yourself:
- Are you entering a business deal and unsure about the terms?
- Have you had a dispute with a supplier, client, or contractor?
- Are you signing leases or contracts without having them properly reviewed?
- Do you need help recovering money owed to your business?
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to speak with a commercial lawyer in Brisbane.
We help business owners make confident, well-informed decisions, whether it’s setting up a business, entering a deal, or resolving a dispute. Our advice is practical, affordable, and customised to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a commercial lawyer actually do?
A commercial lawyer helps you manage the legal aspects of running a business, drafting and reviewing contracts, resolving disputes, advising on business sales, and protecting your commercial interests.
Do I need a lawyer to review contracts?
Yes, especially if you’re entering a new agreement or unsure about your obligations. A lawyer can help you understand the fine print, identify hidden risks, and negotiate better terms.
How is commercial law different from corporate law?
Corporate law relates to company structures and governance, while commercial law focuses on business operations, like contracts, transactions, leasing, and disputes. We assist with both.

Absolutely. We regularly assist startups and small business owners with legal setup, contract templates, website policies, and general advice to get things right from day one.
