Legal contracts
without the confusion.
Written by an Australian lawyer, for a fraction of what one would charge you. Download it today, send it to your client tonight.
You are running a real business
on a contract you found on the internet.
- A contract ChatGPT wrote for you at 11pm the night before onboarding.
- A template bought from an American site that cites the wrong country's law.
- The proposal from three years ago that you have been copying and pasting ever since.
- A DM, a deposit and good vibes.
None of that is built to hold up when a client decides not to pay you.
Most founders find the gap
at the worst possible moment.
Not on a quiet Tuesday. On the day a client cancels, disputes the invoice, or uses your work somewhere you never agreed to.
Agreed payment terms, so chasing the money is a conversation instead of a clause.
Cancellation policy, so the booking that vanishes takes your income with it.
Ownership of your intellectual property, so your work walks out the door with them.
Paper trail, so it becomes your word against theirs and nobody wins.
One difficult client is all it takes. And you only need to be caught out once.
Paying by the hour is out of budget.
A free template is worth what you paid.
There is a third option, and it is the reason Her Legal Edge exists.

Want it drafted for you rather than filled in by you? Tailored agreements start at $2,200 plus GST, and a Power Hour is there if you would rather talk it through first.
Find the templates written
for the work you actually do.
A photographer and a fitness coach do not carry the same risks, so they should not be signing the same contract. Pick your industry and see exactly what is covered.
Not a PDF you will open once
and quietly never use.
Hi, I am Francesca.
I am your business and hiring bestie lawyer, and I have spent years on the other side of this. Founders would come to me after the client had already stopped replying, already used the images, already refused to pay the final invoice. Every time, the same conversation. Every time, a document that could have prevented all of it.
So I built the documents I kept wishing people had brought me first. The same protections I would draft for a client paying by the hour, written in language you can actually read, at a price that makes sense when you are still building.
The questions everybody has.
Are these actually drafted by a lawyer?
Yes. Every template is drafted by a qualified Australian commercial and employment lawyer, and built from real experience working with hundreds of business owners. Nothing here is generated, scraped or borrowed.
Do I really need one if my clients are friends and referrals?
Especially then. Money changes dynamics. A contract does not mean you do not trust someone, it means you both know exactly where you stand from the start. The awkward conversation later is always harder than the paperwork now.
I already have a contract I have used for years. Am I covered?
Possibly not. Older templates are often missing protections that have become essential, like AI use, chargebacks, payment plan enforcement and updated Australian Consumer Law obligations. If it has not been reviewed in the last eighteen months, it is worth comparing.
Can I edit it and use it more than once?
Yes to both. These are fill in the blanks documents with guidance built in, and your licence covers unlimited use inside your own business. The only limit is sharing or reselling them.
Does buying a template make you my lawyer?
No, and that is intentional. Buying a template or downloading a free resource is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer and client relationship. If you want advice specific to your situation, you can engage Her Legal Edge separately.
I am based overseas. Can I use these?
These are written for Australian businesses under Australian law. If you are based overseas, work with a lawyer in your country so your documents actually hold.
