Our business lawyers have practical business experience, which sets us apart from many other commercial lawyers who typically have none at all. We understand the challenges of business and how to prioritise legal issues based on their real impact.
We generally charge fixed fees as we are able to draw on our years of experience to deliver a predictable outcome with cost certainty. We adopt a transparent fee structure which aligns with your business interests.
You will only deal with our senior business lawyers who have a high level of experience and expertise and personal knowledge of you and your business. Unlike other firms, you will not be passed around to junior lawyers and paralegals whose work must be checked and rechecked at your cost.
We have deep knowledge and expertise in niche areas, including but not limited to, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, private health practices, and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
We embrace the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and utilise unique methods of client onboarding, information gathering, and service delivery, to provide an enhanced, efficient, and hassle-free client experience.
We provide a superior service which is considerably more affordable than most city-based firms. We achieve this through an innovative internal structure and model which allows us to be highly competitive.
David has been a trusted lawyer for Vantari VR since its inception. With an eye for detail as well as a personable manner, David is the ideal legal advisor for any growing business.
I can’t express enough how thankful we are to have found David Chung and his team at Creo Legal. After a frustrating experience with a previous lawyer, David came to our rescue when we needed assistance purchasing a dental practice. His expertise, dedication and reasonable pricing made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We finally found a lawyer we can trust.
I have been very happy with the level of service provided by David for my business purchase. He was very professional, prompt in returning emails, phone calls and finalising our work in a timely manner. He provided excellent legal advice based on my personal circumstances and considered all aspects to maximise the outcome during my contract negotiation process. We highly recommend him!
David always over delivers, while meeting deadlines and nothing is ever too much hassle. I highly recommend David. It’s been a pleasure working with him.
