My unique approach
Client Centric
My approach is built on a genuine partnership with you and your business. I believe the most effective legal support comes from truly understanding your commercial objectives and operational realities. I take the time to listen and learn, immersing myself in what makes your business unique.
This allows me to move beyond generic advice, to provide you with practical, commercially-minded legal solutions that are genuinely tailored to your specific needs.
Clear and Proactive
I’m committed to demystifying the law and providing clear, straightforward advice that empowers you to make informed decisions with confidence.
My process involves meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every strategy we develop and every document we prepare is not only legally sound, but also aligned with your specific goals. I aim to be proactive, helping you to anticipate any potential challenges and to seize opportunities, ensuring that the legal frameworks we establish are designed to support the long-term success of your business.
FAQs
The best starting point is to set up a time for an initial chat. This complimentary call allows me to understand your business, discuss your specific legal needs or concerns, and explore how Third Wave Legal can best support you. You can reach out to me at natalie@thirdwavelegal.com.au.
I believe in transparency and predictability. For many common legal services, I can offer a fixed-fee service. This means you'll know the exact cost to you upfront. For more complex or ongoing advisory work, I’ll provide you with a clear estimate of fees, or discuss an hourly rate after our initial consultation, ensuring there are no surprises.
I offer flexible engagement models to suit your business needs.
For Specific Projects
Many clients engage me for defined projects, such as drafting or reviewing a set of contracts, or providing advice on a specific legal issue.
Ad-Hoc Support
As your business evolves, legal questions will arise. You can certainly reach out for advice on an ad-hoc basis as needed.
Virtual In-House Counsel / Team Support
For businesses requiring more regular legal input, I can act as your ‘virtual in-house counsel’. I have experience providing ongoing strategic advice, contract review, and general legal support on a limited retainer basis. I also have experience seamlessly supporting existing in-house legal teams with overflow work during busy periods.
I support a diverse range of businesses across Australia at all different stages of operation – from ambitious startups, to established small and medium-sized enterprises, right through to ASX Listed companies.
I have experience across various industries and can tailor my legal advice to suit the unique stage and particular challenges of your business.
While there are many DIY resources available, engaging a lawyer ensures that your documents are legally sound, tailored to your specific business, compliant with Australian law, and that they genuinely protect your interests.
Generic templates often miss crucial nuances, haven’t been updated for current legal requirements or fail to address the specific risks unique to your particular business. Investing in professional advice early on can save you significant time, money, and potential headaches down the track.
As the principal lawyer at Third Wave Legal, you'll work directly with me, ensuring personalised attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of your business.
I offer the senior level expertise you'd expect, but with a more agile, client-centric, and often more cost-effective approach.
