“I was looking for a lawyer to draft Terms of Engagement for my company, and Elizabeth and her team did an outstanding job. She took the time to understand my business, ensuring the work was tailored to my needs. The first draft was pretty spot on, requiring only a minor round of revisions. The entire process was smooth and completed in a short time frame. As a business owner, it's always awesome to find someone who can take something off my hands. I would highly recommend the guys at Ardor Legal and will definitely be coming back in the future.”

Got Questions?

We believe in clear answers and open conversations – here’s a good place to start.

We support business owners, property developers, and property investors with a wide range of legal needs. This includes buying or selling a business or commercial property, subdivisions, off-the-plan transactions, leasing matters, and contract reviews. Whether your matter is simple or complex, we provide practical, down-to-earth legal advice that aligns with your goals.

Yes, we offer a complimentary 15-minute virtual discovery meeting, which you can book directly through our website. It is a relaxed and obligation-free way to tell us a little about your matter and see whether we are the right fit for you. If you would prefer a phone call, we are more than happy to accommodate that instead.

If you have any documents related to your matter, such as contracts, leases, or key emails, it helps to email them through before your discovery meeting. If you are unsure what is relevant, that is completely fine. Just send what you have and we will guide you through the rest.

We offer fixed fees, hourly rates, or a mix of both depending on the complexity of your matter. Before any work begins, you will receive a clear cost agreement outlining the scope, fee arrangement, and a quote or estimate. We aim to give realistic estimates and be upfront about what is included. We may also ask for funds to be held in trust to cover upcoming fees and outlays, which are charged at cost.

Absolutely. We work with clients across Queensland, throughout Australia, and even overseas. Many of our clients never need to come into the office. We offer phone and video appointments, share documents securely online, and ensure everything runs smoothly wherever you are. If your matter involves a transaction, we will also take care of identity verification virtually, in line with our legal obligations.

If you decide to move forward with us, we will send you a cost agreement and confirm the next steps. Once the agreement is signed and any required funds are received into trust, we begin working on your matter and keep you informed along the way.

This depends on the type of matter and how complex it is. At your initial meeting, we can discuss likely timeframes and give you updates if anything changes. Our aim is always to keep things moving and keep you in the loop.

Some clients start out thinking they can manage a transaction on their own, but soon realise the risks involved. Legal documents and processes can be complex, and it is easy to overlook something important. Having a solicitor from the start gives you peace of mind and can often save time, stress, and costs in the long run.

You will usually have one appointed solicitor as your main point of contact, so you always know who to turn to throughout your matter. Behind the scenes, we work closely as a team to make sure you are well supported. If you return for another matter, we will connect you with the solicitor who is best placed to assist, so you always receive the care and expertise you need.

Our main focus is commercial and property law, but we also help with related matters like business structuring, leasing, employment contracts, and succession planning for business owners. If your matter falls outside our scope, we will happily refer you to someone we trust who can assist.
