We help Perth business owners by taking care of the legal stuff
The commercial lawyer for Perth business owners. The kind you ring before you sign, hire, expand, or commit. Fixed fees. Plain English. Senior lawyer on every file.
Here's what our clients say about us...
Most businesses have a great accountant and a panic-call lawyer
The accountant they ring before they make a decision. The lawyer they ring after something's gone wrong.
I'm the other version. The lawyer you ring first.
You've been handed a contract.
Hand it to me.
I'll tell you what you're signing, where the risk sits, and what to push back on.
You need something drafted.
Hand it to me.
I draft documents that protect your position and reflect the deal you actually struck.
Something's come up on a deal.
Hand it to me.
A counterparty isn't performing. A payment is overdue. The relationship has shifted. I work out where you stand and what to do.
You're making a decision the business hasn't faced before.
Hand it to me.
Bringing in a partner, restructuring, selling part of the business. Decisions where the legal side has to be right before you commit.
Why my clients work with me
I've been on the other side of the table
Before this, I spent five years inside a major corporate's procurement function — drafting and negotiating contracts from the buyer's side. That's where most of the contracts you get handed actually come from. I know how they're structured, where they push, and what they'll move on.
You get a senior lawyer, not a junior on a learning curve
I'm the only lawyer on the file. No partner who delegates and bills you for the privilege. No junior cutting their teeth on your contract. Every call, every draft, every negotiation — me.
Fixed fees, twelve-hour quotes, no clock-watching
You'll have a fixed-fee quote in writing within 12 hours of our scoping call. Scope locked, price locked, no billing surprises. The work gets done in plain English so you can act on it.
MEET THE FOUNDER & Principal
Hey, I'm Brent
I started Nex Legal because I'm convinced there is a better way to support business owners protect what they have worked so hard to build. The idea for Nex Legal is simple: like your accountant but for the legal stuff. You don't call your accountant only when something goes wrong. Same idea here.
Why listen to me? The straight answer is that I've been on both sides. Years as a disputes lawyer, helping small businesses navigate conflict through the Courts. Here I saw firsthand how things can spiral if you get the contract wrong at the start. Then I spent years at BHP managing multi-million dollar contracts and leading global procurement teams. Here I saw how a well managed contract and unlock real value for businesses of all sizes. This is a mix of experience that is rare for any commercial lawyer.
If you're watching your cash flow and assuming a lawyer is out of reach, you're probably wrong. Let's talk.
