Yep you are in good hands.
All of our templates are drafted by a qualified Australian employment and commercial lawyer.

While they are designed to work across different industries, they are built from real
experience working with thousands of business owners.

We have seen what causes stress confusion and those quiet uh oh moments in hiring and
we have built these templates to help you avoid them. They are practical clear and designed
to support you not overwhelm you.

Not on their own and that is intentional.

Purchasing a template or downloading a free resource does not create a lawyer-client
relationship and it is not legal advice. This gives you the space to reflect make sure the template feels right for your circumstances and use it with confidence.

A lawyer-client relationship only begins if and when you formally engage Her Legal Edge for
legal services such as through a paid consult retainer or agreed scope of work.

If you ever want personalised advice, it is always there as an option.

Yes absolutely.
Each purchase comes with a single user licence which means you can reuse the template as
many times as you like within your own business.

That includes current staff future hires
and growth as your business evolves.

The only thing to keep in mind is that templates are not for sharing reselling or using for other businesses.

Of course. That is exactly what they are designed for.

These are fill in the blanks templates and you will receive clear guidance on how to use them.

You are not expected to understand legal language or have everything figured out.
The structure is there to support you.

These templates are designed specifically for Australian businesses.

The law varies significantly between countries so if you are based overseas we recommend working with a lawyer in your country to prepare the right documents for you.

 If you provide services to clients, you need a service agreement that matches your industry.

We have templates for marketing professionals, designers, photographers, virtual assistants and online business managers, coaches and consultants, health and wellness practitioners, and fitness and movement professionals.

Each one is tailored to the specific risks and protections that matter for that industry. If you cannot see your industry, send us a message and we will let you know what is closest.

Possibly. Templates that have been used for a long time are often missing protections that have become essential, like clauses around AI use, chargebacks, payment plan enforcement, and updated Australian Consumer Law obligations. If you have not had your contracts reviewed in the last 12 to 18 months, it is worth comparing your current document to one of ours.

Yes babe, you do. If you are exchanging money for your time, your skills or your deliverables you need a contract. A handshake, a DM and good vibes are not legally enforceable. A signed service agreement is. I got you - that is exactly what this is for.

You are operating on trust and hope, which is lovely but not a legal strategy (or safe). Without a contract you have no agreed payment terms, no cancellation policy, no IP protection and no paper trail if things go sideways. And things go sideways. Even with the best clients. A service agreement is the thing that protects both of you when they do.

No shame here. A lot of brilliant business owners have been winging it and honestly? You have probably been fine because you attract great clients. But one bad one is all it takes. This is not about what went wrong before - it is about closing those gaps and doing better from here. You are already here, which means you are already doing it.

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. It protects the relationship as much as it protects you. The awkward conversation later is always harder than the paperwork now.

That is information worth paying attention to. A client who will not agree to basic terms before handing over money is a red flag. That said, these agreements also include acceptance by conduct - meaning if your client pays or allows you to start work, the agreement applies regardless. Already built in and sorted.

Yes. Buy it once, use it forever across your business. Update the client details each time and you are good to go. That is the whole point.

If you collect personal information - and you do, because a name, an email address and a payment method all count - then yes. The Privacy Act 1988 applies and having a compliant privacy policy is not optional. I got you on this one.

That is personal information, by law (sorry to break it to you). A name and an email address is enough to trigger your privacy obligations. A privacy policy tells your clients what you collect, why, how you store it and how they can access or correct it. That is what they are entitled to know - and this document makes it easy.

Yes. If you are collecting client information through a form, a booking system, an intake questionnaire, your service agreement or literally just an email thread - you need a privacy policy. Send it with your service agreement and you are covered. No website required.

On your website footer, linked in your booking form, in your email signature and anywhere else clients submit their information. If you do not have a website, send it to every new client alongside your service agreement. The step by step instructions are on the cover page - it is all mapped out for you.

If you have a website - yes. It does not matter if you sell anything on it. The moment someone can visit your site, view your content, contact you or submit their details, you need terms that govern that interaction. It limits your liability, protects your intellectual property and sets the rules for how your site can be used.

Yes. Website terms and conditions are not just for ecommerce. They cover who owns your content, what happens if someone misuses your site, what you are and are not liable for and how disputes are handled. Even an information-only website needs them.

Your website terms and conditions govern how people can use your website - what they can and cannot do, what you are and are not liable for, who owns the content. Your privacy policy governs how you handle their personal information. They do different jobs. You need both.

Yes. They are not interchangeable. Think of your terms and conditions as the rules of your website and your privacy policy as your promise about data. Two documents, two different purposes, both required. I got you - they are both available in the suite so you can sort it all in one go.
