These templates are your power tools.

Practical, fill in the blanks documents you can
customise and use inside your own business.
Purchasing a template or downloading a free resource from Her Legal Edge does not, on its own, create a lawyer client relationship and it is not legal advice.

A lawyer client relationship is only formed if and when you formally engage Her Legal Edge for
legal services, such as through a paid consult, retainer or agreed scope of work.
These tools are built to give you a strong, intelligent foundation for common commercial and employment scenarios. But no two businesses are the same. Your structure, industry, location and risk profile may require specific clauses or considerations that sit outside a standard template.

By using our templates, you acknowledge that they may not capture every nuance of your unique situation and that it is your responsibility to review, adapt and ensure the document is right for your business.

If you want tailored provisions, industry specific advice or absolute certainty, we recommend formally engaging us or another qualified lawyer for personalised support.

Our employment templates are created for use in Australia only and are not suitable for overseas businesses. Employment law varies significantly between countries and you should engage a lawyer in your country of residence to prepare employment agreements for your business.

Each purchase includes a single user licence. You can reuse your templates as many times as you like within your own business. They are not to be shared, resold, distributed or used for any third party.

Every legitimate purchase supports the creation of high calibre, accessible legal tools for business owners who are ready to do things properly. We appreciate your support and ask that you respect the value behind the work.
