“I cannot recommend Phil enough. He listened to my concerns, he knew what I needed, he kept to his words and made it so pleasant to work with him and his team. I can tell he was genuinely there to help me and have my best interests legally as first priority. His team is also responsive, efficient and overall, quick turnaround.”

“I recently had a free consultation with Philip about my dismissal matter, and I was genuinely impressed by his professionalism and care. Unlike some other lawyers I spoke to, Philip took the time to understand my situation in detail and provided clear, thoughtful explanations that helped me make sense of a very stressful experience. He was considerate, patient, and genuinely seemed to care about my wellbeing and the outcome of my case. His advice was practical, honest, and extremely helpful. I truly appreciate the time and guidance he gave me. If you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and straightforward, I highly recommend reaching out to Philip. He made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Also want to give a shout-out to Jai, who helped organise everything. He was super patient, gathered all the details, followed up with me, and made the whole process really smooth. If you re looking for a team that s knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares, I d definitely recommend speaking with them.”

“Phil from Open Legal did excellent work for our business creating relevant employment contracts and related policies and procedures. A quick and efficient completion and he also did a presentation to our colleagues on our businesses employment policies and procedures, which we recorded for future use for incoming new staff members. Knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Simon Chan”

“James Cook came highly recommended and from the minute I spoke to him I felt very comfortable that he and the team at Open Legal would be able to assist with my issue. I was very impressed with their approach to the issue and the proposal they put forward. As my situation was rather urgent, James and the team swung into action right away. Highly recommended and looking forward to working with you in the future. Anne Smith”

“Open Legal reviews contracts for me prior to my company signing. They have assisted in review, wording and interpretation. David W who seems to be assigned to my company (which is great for me to get in touch with easily) has been attentive and responsive with emails and turnaround times in reasonable timeframes. All positive feedback from me and my team for Open Legal.”

“I am beyond impressed with Philip. I was in an extremely stressful situation and when I first spoke to David over the phone, he immediately advised me on all the aspects OpenLegal can help me with. Before OpenLegal I had lost all hope. I was extremely stressed. David gave me hope. Then I had Philip look after my case and he has gone above and beyond all my expectations. Not only do they care about your business, but they go beyond just looking after your assets. I highly recommend their services. If you want a lawyer that cares about you and your business, OpenLegal is for you. I only dealt with one other lawyer before dealing with Philip, and I wasted money with them and was left back at square one. You will not feel like this with Philip. If you want good quality service please go straight to this firm. You will not regret your decision. They know what they are talking about and know your rights. They all stand behind you and help you above and beyond. I have never ever written a review before but I just want to shout from the rooftops on how amazing this firm is. I will always come to them for any help and will recommend them to all my friends. I wish OpenLegal all the best in their business. They deserve it!”

“We recently used OpenLegal for the sale of our company. What initially seemed to be a simple process became quite a protracted and frustrating one at times. Jennifer Wang and the team at OpenLegal helped us through every step of the process with professionalism, care and consideration. Jennifer always responded quickly to my calls and emails and her advice was invaluable. She has an excellent understanding of the process and drafting of share sale contracts. OpenLegal had quoted on a fixed cost agreement and they did not waiver from this quote. The quote was specifically for the drafting of the contract. We were aware that Jennifer ended up having to re draft the contract numerous times due to wording requests from the purchasers to finalise the contract. The time taken was well above what she had quoted for. We engaged her for some further work on an hourly basis but once again she was extremely reasonable and helpful and charged the bare minimum for her extra time which I am very grateful for. For small companies legal fees can be scary as you hear many stories of how the costs blow out. This was not the case with OpenLegal. I would be very happy to recommend Jennifer Wang and OpenLegal to anyone looking for an experienced legal team to work with. I would also have no hesitation in using OpenLegal again for any other legal matters that could arise in the future.”

“Five stars and five more for the Open Legal team. I found them on Google and reached out based solely on their reviews. From my very first conversation with Ben, I knew I was in the right hands. Jennifer represented us on not one but two commercial leases. Two because the first one was a dud, like we were about to be royally rogered and had we entered into that agreement - I would definitely be one sad individual right now. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable, engaging but also super honest - she knows her stuff. To say "no stone was left unturned" would be an understatement, I mean, who wants to dredge through 30+ pages of Commercial leases? Well Jennifer does, because that's her jam. I felt well represented and supported and not once did I ever feel my questions we silly - despite my thinking they were. I cannot recommend the Open Legal team enough. If you are productive, driven and results focused, then you'll be doing yourself a disservice by partnering with anyone else.”

“Philip and the team at Open Legal do phenomenal work. They are highly punctual, knowledgeable, commercial and have an excellent understanding of Corporations Law. Philip was given clear instructions and did not in any way, shape or form waiver from his fixed cost agreement that was at least one-quarter of the price of the lowest of 5 x quotes I had for this job. For any SME s, I wouldn t hesitate. Feel free to write to me via DM if you require more of an in-depth review or if you need me to answer any questions or apprehensions you may have about this coy. I would be happy to support a legal firm that has assisted me in my matter at such a highly competitive rate. Very rarely, I get impressed these days. Open Legal has changed my view of lawyers. It has re-invigorated my once apprehensive and almost derogatory attitude towards lawyers and the industry itself. Keep in mind my bitterness comes after hundreds of thousands of dollars spent using previous legal firms, only for me to do the majority of the work, due to the fact I have studied commercial law and in particular The Corporation Act of 2001, during my career in Private Equity. Another issue I previously has was how lawyers charged. I never understood why I would be charged hundreds of dollars for a 30 second phone call, until I read the fine print and understood the associated costs were in fact charged at a minimum of 15 minute blocks, so 30 seconds was rounded up to 15 minutes). This jaded me and I found it to be highly unethical. Anyway, that was in no way the case at Open Legal. So thanks again for your help on my matter Philip (and the team at Open Legal).”

“Philip, David and the rest of the team at OpenLegal are just incredible. The legalities around setting up a N4F are daunting to say the least. Philip was able to make the process seem simple and effortless allowing us to focus on the most important thing; our mission. Thank you!!”

“Recently engaged OpenLegal to help us register some trademarks. The team were extremely friendly and energetic, took the time to understand my business, were responsive, and overall it was a very smooth speedy process. Plus, no hidden fees like most lawyers I have dealt with in the past! Will be using the team moving forward to help support my legal needs. Would recommend OpenLegal to those businesses seeking cost-effective quick expert advice from a team of personable skilled lawyers.”
