Frequently asked questions
What does a commercial lawyer do?
Advises on contracts, corporate structures, M&A, capital raising, IP, licensing and regulatory compliance for businesses. Envision covers all of the above with fixed fees and senior lawyers running each matter end-to-end.
Are you a Melbourne firm?
Envision has a Melbourne office and a Sydney office. Australian commercial law is federal, so our practice serves clients across every state. Melbourne clients get in-person meetings when they are needed.
Do you act on capital raises for Melbourne startups?
Yes — SAFEs, convertible notes, seed and Series A priced rounds. Same fixed-fee approach for a fraction of the cost of a tier-1 firm.
Can you handle a Victoria-specific commercial dispute?
Yes. We advise on commercial disputes governed by Victorian and federal law, and brief specialist barristers from the Victorian bar for matters that go to hearing in VCAT or the Supreme Court of Victoria.
