Legal Advice and Legal Services
Trusted Professional Advisors Pty Ltd (TPA) is a firm of business lawyers that aims to build long-term relationships with clients, delivering cost-effective corporate and commercial solutions across our areas of practice.
Depending on your unique needs and objectives, our solutions may take the form of bespoke legal advice, standardised legal services and/or online products and services.
In general, our lawyers deliver bespoke legal advice as part of long-term, fixed fee retainers or in the course of assisting you with major projects or transactions. We offer standardised legal services where you need a lawyer to perform tasks that are important, yet require minimal customisation. Our online products and services consist of ‘off the shelf’ information and training solutions that are accessible via our website.

Retainer based arrangements typically involve TPA entering into annual or multi-year, fixed fee engagements where we provide a range of ‘business as usual’ legal advice and legal services. Such legal services may include:
- drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts;
- reviewing and advising on marketing materials;
- providing regulatory advice and undertaking tasks to ensure regulatory compliance;
- providing legal advice on corporate governance and performing company secretarial functions;
- briefing and overseeing external lawyers; and
- delivering a variety of other legal services.
Project and Major Transaction Based Legal Services
Projects and major transactions involve TPA providing legal advice and legal services in order to help you accomplish one or more specific outcomes. In this regard, our business lawyers may deliver legal services as varied as:
- designing and instituting a compliance system;
- designing, implementing and managing an employee share scheme;
- helping you franchise your business; and
- acting for you in a major business transaction, such as a business merger, acquisition or divestment; and
Projects and major transactions may extend from several months to several years and will typically involve TPA entering into a fixed fee or transaction based fee arrangement with you.
Standardised Legal Services

TPA provides standardised legal services on a fixed fee basis.
