Australian business law · for everyone

Run your business with the law on your side.

Business Law Help explains the legal side of running a company: contracts, compliance, employment, IP and more. It's written in clear, simple language, built for everyone, whatever language you speak. When you genuinely need a lawyer, it tells you that too.

A demonstration project by Bernard Kang, law student. General legal information, not legal advice. Read why I built this.

Twenty-three areas of business law. Twenty-five annotated sample documents. More than thirty-five interactive tools, and a glossary that explains 42 terms without the jargon.

Every part of running a business

Pick any area below. You'll find a plain-language guide, a sample document to compare against, and a self-check that shows where your gaps are. Anything serious gets pointed to a real lawyer.

How this works

The whole site is built to stay on the right side of the line between legal information and legal advice. It's the same line a community legal centre works to.

Plain language, for everyone

What each area of law actually means for your business, written so anyone can read it. If English isn't your first language, switch to one that is.

Interactive tools

Not just reading. Paste a contract into the clause analyser, run a deadline calculator, or work through a self-check and see where you stand.

A clear route to a lawyer

Some problems need a professional. When yours does, every topic says so plainly and shows you where to find qualified help.
