Your dedicated lawyer handles everything. We keep you updated at every step and aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible.
We started Archer Legal in 2016 because we saw too many small businesses either paying too much for legal advice — or worse, going without.
Our team of 6 lawyers covers the breadth of commercial law, but we specialise in practical, cost-effective advice for businesses doing between $500K and $20M in revenue. We're big enough to handle complex matters, small enough that you always know who's working on your file.
Based in Richmond, Melbourne — but we work with clients across Victoria and interstate.
We offer fixed fees for most services (starting from $350). For ongoing or complex matters, we charge $350–$550/hour depending on the lawyer. You'll always know the cost before we start.
Maybe not — and we'll tell you honestly. Our free initial call exists precisely for this: to tell you whether it's worth engaging a lawyer or if you can sort it yourself.
Standard contract reviews: 3–5 business days. Urgent matters: same day or next day (surcharge may apply). We'll confirm timing upfront.
Absolutely. Many clients come to us mid-dispute or when something's gone wrong. We'll assess where things stand and give you honest options — including when to fight and when to settle.
