Dispute Resolution

You've outgrown your suburban solicitor.

Most commercial lawyers make business owners feel like they're on the clock from the moment they pick up the phone. Rushed calls, vague invoices, and a graduate doing the actual work while the partner's name is on the letter. You deserve better than that.

Keller Legal exists for the gap between your local lawyer and the CBD firms that charge $800 an hour for a graduate's work. We build ongoing relationships with founders of $5M–$50M businesses — the kind where you can call on a Tuesday afternoon and get a straight answer, not a billable unit. Because boutique means we choose our clients, not the other way around.

Three partners means three people who know your file. No handoffs to juniors. No surprises on the invoice. No explaining your business model for the fourth time.

✓ A partner handles your matter — start to finish

✓ Fixed fees for transactional work, no clock-watching

✓ Direct mobile access to your lawyer

✓ Advice shaped around your commercial reality, not legal theory

Primarily fixed-fee for transactional work (contracts, property, M&A). Dispute resolution is typically hourly with an estimate upfront. No surprises.

Do you offer an initial consultation?
