LawyerMeUp

LawyerMeUp provides educational articles on business, commercial, and contracts law. Our mission is to give businesspeople peace of mind through effective management of legal risk and our purpose is to help busy in-house lawyers manage their never ending workload, at the same time providing easy to understand legal education for non-lawyers in all industries and at all levels.

We do this by breaking down complex legal concepts into easily understandable, plain English articles that drive performance by removing fear of the unknown and increasing confidence. Questions like:

Is my business compliant with law?

How should I document a deal?

What policies does my business need?

I’m in dispute with a customer or contracting party, where do I start?

are all answered here.

Our articles help a wide range of individuals involved in business, including in-house lawyers, officers and directors, executives, managers, owners (sole traders), and even legal and business students, to understand the commercial legal framework that influences many of the decisions they make on a daily basis.

Some of our articles deal with broad areas of law, such as dispute resolution, workforce, insurance and property issues affecting business (including leasing and licensing).

Some deal with precise questions or issues, such as when you need a legally binding agreement or when a non-binding one will do, how you can effectively vary a contract, and who has authority to contract on behalf of a business.

Some provide practical tips, such as how to run checks on another contracting party so you have a full understanding of who you are really dealing with and the fundamentals of their financial and commercial stability.

Why Trust LawyerMeUp?

Our Editor, Karen Christopher, has practised commercial law in Australia for more than 30 years, and still regularly advises her clients on the legal areas explored in these articles. The idea for LawyerMeUp was born out of her experiences over more than 10 years as a sole in-house lawyer in the government, government related and aviation industries, during which she spent a lot of time researching business related laws to help her clients:

get deals done effectively,

negotiate and manage a constant stream of contracts,

advise their governing boards and C Suite executives; and

ensure their businesses remain compliant with ever changing laws, regulations and requirements of statutory bodies.

LawyerMeUp is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to increase the productivity of all people involved in a business. For less than the cost of an hour of a senior lawyers time, you get full access to our complete library as it grows.
