What's Included in Our Business Contract Services
Obtaining the right contract advice provides your business with a stronger foundation for success. Our Sydney contract lawyers offer comprehensive legal services, delivering an end-to-end range of solutions from drafting and negotiating to template provision and ongoing review. Every contract we create is practical, enforceable, and aligned with your commercial objectives.
Contract Drafting
We create customized agreements tailored to your specific business relationship and transaction needs. From supplier agreements and service contracts to partnership arrangements and NDAs, our lawyers draft comprehensive documents that clearly define rights, obligations, and remedies. Each contract includes clause-by-clause explanations and guidance on negotiation points, ensuring you understand exactly what you’re committing to before signing.
Contract Review
Before signing any significant agreement, our lawyers conduct comprehensive reviews identifying unfavorable terms, ambiguous clauses, missing protections, and compliance issues with Australian law. We analyze payment terms, termination provisions, liability clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms. You’ll receive a detailed review report with marked-up contracts showing suggested amendments, a risk assessment, and a negotiation strategy to achieve better terms.
Contract Negotiation
We represent your interests in contract negotiations with strategic advice, preparation of counter-proposals, and direct negotiation with other parties’ lawyers when required. Our commercial lawyers understand NSW contract law inside out and can advocate effectively for your rights. We document all agreed changes and verify final contracts before execution, ensuring your interests are protected throughout the negotiation process.
Contract Templates for Ongoing Use
For businesses with repetitive transactions, we develop customized template contracts that streamline your operations. We create standard terms and conditions, template agreements for common scenarios, and comprehensive guidance on when templates can be used versus when specific legal advice is needed. Our templates include annual review services ensuring they remain current as laws and business practices evolve.

I’ve had an incredibly positive experience working with John & Winnie on my matter. From start to finish, they have been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout what’s been a stressful time for me.
They explained every step of the process clearly, responded promptly to any questions I had, and made complicated situations feel a lot more manageable. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time, and their calm, confident approach really helped me stay grounded.
Highly recommend CMI services to anyone needing immigration or legal assistance — couldn’t be more grateful.
Thanks again!

As an old customer of CMI, this year is already the 8th year. Special thanks to attorney John and attorney Tina for carefully answering our various questions, providing a lot of professional advice and help, allowing us to easily complete each transaction.
Tina was a great lawyer - she was always incredibly knowledgeable, answered all questions promptly, and very friendly. Would recommend Tina!
Tina was a great help in guiding us through our first home buying experience. She gave us a lot of great explanations and advice from initial discussion of the process through every step until successful settlement. Communication and resolution of issues was prompt and professional.
Tina is a fantastic lawyer. her responses to my queries were thorough and timely, and impeccable organizational skills! Truly appreciated her clear and consistent communcation througout the entire property-purchasing process. she handled everything with profressionalism and expertise, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother. Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Tina as our solicitor for our first home purchase, and we couldn’t have been in better hands. She carefully explained every step of the process, guiding us through what initially felt overwhelming and unfamiliar. Buying off the plan made us particularly cautious, especially when it came to reviewing legal documents. Tina’s meticulous approach put us at ease—she ensured we both clearly understood each aspect, taking the time to highlight and reorganise information to make it more accessible. Her dedication and professionalism made the entire experience far less daunting, and we’re truly grateful for her support.
John and Tina have provided great professional legal service since 2017 for me.
I realised that I hadn’t left a review for my dealings with CMI legal. I had dealt with them a few months ago, but an epiphany made me come and leave a review.
5 stars is insufficient to express their work. We were working Dee and she is an amazing and thorough professional. She goes above and beyond and explains matters that makes you understand things really well. Thank you Dee for your amazing work.

Engage a contract lawyer before signing any significant agreement, entering new commercial relationships, or facing a dispute. Early advice prevents costly mistakes and maximises your bargaining position.
Yes, but penalties must be carefully drafted to comply with Australian contract law. Liquidated damages for genuine pre-estimated losses are enforceable; punitive penalties generally are not. Professional guidance is critical.
In many situations, yes. If an email or text demonstrates clear offer, acceptance, and intention to be legally bound, it may form a contract but written formal agreements are always safer and more enforceable.
Yes, electronic signatures have the same legal standing as physical signatures for most business contracts in NSW, provided there is clear intention, consent, and record-keeping.
If a business partner breaches your contract, our lawyers assess the situation and provide options, including negotiation, mediation, or if necessary litigation to protect your interests.
We draft and review construction contracts, advise on risk allocation, and intervene quickly if disputes arise, helping you avoid project delays, payment issues, or regulatory non-compliance.
