Frequently asked questions
Which suburbs do you cover in southern Adelaide?
Marion, Tonsley, Mitchell Park, Morphett Vale, Christies Beach, Noarlunga, Seaford, Aldinga, Willunga, Brighton, Glenelg and the surrounding coastal suburbs.
How much do commercial lawyers cost in Adelaide?
Envision Legal quotes a fixed fee for every defined piece of work. A contract review is typically $800–$2,000 + GST; a shareholders' agreement $3,500–$6,500 + GST; fractional general counsel from $2,500 + GST a month. No six-minute billing units.
Are you admitted to act for South Australian businesses?
Yes. Australian commercial law is overwhelmingly federal — the Corporations Act, Australian Consumer Law, PPSA and Fair Work Act apply the same in South Australia as anywhere else. We work with SA clients remotely and brief local counsel where a state-specific issue arises.
Do you do conveyancing, family or criminal law?
No. We are a commercial law practice only and refer those matters to SA specialists.
