I help business owners from start up to sale thrive through effective legal protection!
I am an experienced business and franchise lawyer and am passionate about helping business owners avoid unnecessary risks by providing tailored commercial legal advice. There is No 'One Size that Fits All' - a template contract or a lawyer who does not take the time to get to know your business will not help solve your problem.
Savvy business owners rely on commercial lawyers to help them avoid unnecessary risks but at the same time expect that their lawyers understand their industry and the unique problems they face.
I assist small and medium sized businesses, family businesses and not for profits in corporate and commercial legal matters including:
- commercial contracts
- corporate structuring
- business sales and acquisitions
- commercial leases
- franchise law
- client agreements (terms & conditions)
- supply/distribution agreements
- joint venture agreements
I am a highly accomplished, senior commercial and franchise lawyer with extensive legal experience. I have worked within top tier firms in the UK and Australia, run my own legal practice and headed up various commercial practices.
Here is one quote about me "Helen is an exceptional and seasoned commercial and franchisee lawyer, with a wealth of legal expertise under her belt. With a distinguished career in top-tier firms in the UK and Australia, along with owning her legal practice and leading multiple commercial practices, she has risen to become an illustrious figure in her industry. As the Managing Director of Rise Legal Business lawyers, Helen's legal advice is sought after by both franchisers and franchisees. Her unmatched experience and proficiency make her a preeminent authority in her field."
Over the years I have had the pleasure of working closely with businesses across a great many sectors of industry, including transport/logistics, rail/freight, medical, bars/nightclubs, cafes/restaurants, tourism, construction, educational/training, online businesses, manufacturing, professional, transport/distribution, aged care/retirement villages, beauty/health and child care centres... to name a few!

You're trying to negotiate a contract. What role does technology play in the process?
As a commercial lawyer using AI, I've found it crucial for interpreting complex contract clauses. AI's ability to analyse vast legal databases helps me predict clause interpretations, ensuring clarity and reducing legal risks. This not only streamlines contract reviews but also allows me to focus on strategic client advice, enhancing the overall value of my services.
