Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"What we appreciated most about working with Morgan Solomon was his extraordinary ability to absorb and process information on his feet and cut through peripheral issues. A good lawyer needs to remain calm, collected and outcome focussed throughout a tough negotiation. Morgan ticked all of these boxes, and more. He’s also a wonderful guy and really easy to work with."

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"Brandon and the team and SHL were excellent to deal with. Their advice was clear and articulated in a manner that I could understand. They worked to some critical deadlines that I had which was very important. I would highly recommend and will certainly use their services again in the future. I would like to recommend Brandon Hetherington, Brandon has been amazing. Without his professionalism I probably would of going crazy. He explained everything in layman terms, which was great. Thanks once again, if you need a lawyer this is the place to go."

Review for Jessica Spee
Jessica Spee
"Recently we consulted Solomon Hollet Lawyers to deal with some family matters on my behalf. In relation to a will. They were fantastic. Professional right from the start to the end. They made the process very comforting indeed. Originally I got onto them via a way of a 15 minute free phone call which I found on the internet. Jessica Spee was our lawyer and we established an awesome rapport with her. What was originally thought to be a massive headache for us was made very simple by Jessica. Her staff were professional and outstanding in their customer service delivery. Thanks Jessica your a total professional and I cannot highly recommend her and her company enough. Thanks a heap Jessica"

Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"This firm is friendly, helpful and accessible - from the first person that answers the phone, they make you feel welcome and at ease. I had a consultation with Morgan Solomon and cannot recommend him highly enough. His early advice, for which I am incredibly grateful, has most likely saved me from a lengthy and expensive legal battle and many sleepless nights worrying about my situation. Morgan is not only an expert in his field, he is excellent at explaining applicable laws and the pros and cons of different courses of action to his clients. Thank you, Morgan, and everyone at Solomon Hollett Lawyers."

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Andrew Bower represented me in a very messy business partnership dispute. Andrew’s professional conduct, court mannerisms and high quality of work was amazing! His knowledge of the legal system and attention to detail gave me peace of mind every step of the way. The last 12 months have been a stressful legal roller coater ride and in December Andrew put a successful end to that chapter. I would highly recommend Andrew and I cannot thank him enough. Andrew Bower from Solomon Hollett law firm is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, pro active lawyer that owns the client's problem, and do everything possible to help the client succeed with great care, loyalty, passion and dedication. Strongly recommended. Andrew's professional advice and guidance has saved our business thousands and a lot of heartache. Highly recommend Andrew and Solomon Hollett Lawyers."

Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"We engaged Solomon Hollett to represent us (executors) in a challenging and frustrating Estate matter. We cannot praise both Morgan Solomon and Matthew Gunn highly enough for the extremely professional and understanding approach they took and their attention to detail. Their knowledge of both the law and estate procedures was second to none and their communication skills were outstanding. We settled the matter at mediation thanks in large part to their support and guidance. I would very strongly recommend them."

Review for Craig Hollett
Craig Hollett
"I recently employed Craig Hollett when my partner required defence in a complex criminal matter. From the outset of this very difficult journey, Craig’s professional and approachable manner put me at ease. Navigating foreign legal processes was incredibly unnerving, but Craig’s extensive knowledge and patient explanation made the experience far less daunting. Craig was always available to me when I required advice and guidance, which made me feel as though there was someone I could trust in the midst of a great deal of turbulence. Although he was kind and reassuring, Craig was straight down the line and made sure I was fully aware of all possible outcomes, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. The compassion and genuine concern he showed was extraordinary, as was his unwavering performance in court. With Craig’s guidance, we were able to obtain the best outcome we could expect, and I will be forever grateful to him. I could not be more pleased with the service that Craig provided and would not hesitate to recommend him."

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Our experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers was nothing short of fantastic. We found ourselves in a tough spot when a client unexpectedly canceled a contract early, leaving us hanging with unpaid invoices and other charges for months. Andrew Bower, came highly recommended from another lawyer and lived up to every expectation. Not only were him and his team incredibly knowledgeable about the intricacies of contract law, but they handled our case with the utmost professionalism and expertise. What truly set them apart was their ability to translate all that legal terminology into layman's terms that we could easily grasp. It made navigating the complexities of our situation a breeze. Thanks to their guidance and skillful negotiation, we were able to resolve the matter in our favor. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! They consistently deliver exceptional service, demonstrating proficiency at every juncture. Highly recommended!"

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"The last few months have caused a significant amount of stress for me around an estate matter. I wasn't sure what to expect when I searched for legal assistance since I have never had to use the services of a law firm before. Other Google reviews led me to Solomon Hollett Lawyers where I found Brandon to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Just knowing that he was supporting me in this matter made all the difference and helped to facilitate a positive outcome."

Craig fully and respectfully explained the processes and complexities of the case in a language that made sense to us and he outlined in detail steps that we had to take. What impressed us most was his willingness to understand the complexities of our Church structures and laws and take on board our principles and concerns. We cannot recommend Craig highly enough."

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"Brandon Hetherington has been an absolute Godsend for us in a very difficult and stressful estate matter, which the Executor had been mishandling and dragging on for many years before we bought Brandon in to act. Prior to this, his advice and guidance kept us sane. All our enquiries were handled promptly and saved us from many sleepless nights. Without his help we would still be in estate limbo. We can't thank Brandon and Jessica Spee enough for their professionalism, empathy and support. They have got us through and we can now finally move on. Hopefully we never need their services again but I wouldn't trust anyone else with such important matters."

Frequently asked questions

Why is it important for a business to consult a contract lawyer?

Contracts can be complex. Consulting a contract lawyer in Perth is crucial for businesses to ensure that contracts are legally sound and enforceable. 

A contract lawyer has the experience and knowledge to identify potential legal issues, draft clear and comprehensive agreements, and advise on the implications of contract terms. This helps mitigate risks, avoid costly disputes, and ensure that the contract aligns with your business’s interests and legal obligations. 

In essence, a contract lawyer acts as a safeguard, protecting your business from unforeseen legal complications and financial losses related to contractual agreements. 

How can a contract lawyer help with negotiating business agreements?

A contract lawyer assists in negotiating business agreements by bringing specialised legal knowledge to the table. They help in understanding and articulating the terms and conditions in a way that protects your business’s interests. Their experience and knowledge are invaluable in identifying potential legal pitfalls, suggesting amendments, and ensuring the agreement is compliant with relevant laws. 

They can also provide strategic advice to achieve favourable terms, while also maintaining a clear focus on the broader business objectives and risks involved in the agreement.

What are the risks of not having a contract reviewed by a lawyer?

Not having a contract reviewed by a contract drafting lawyer can present several risks, especially in the realms of business and personal agreements. Here’s an overview of these risks:

  • Misinterpretation of Terms: Legal language can be complex and open to interpretation. Without a lawyer’s expertise, parties might misinterpret the contract’s terms, leading to disputes, unintended obligations or consequences.
  • Unenforceable Clauses: Some clauses might be unenforceable under Australian law. A lawyer can identify and amend such clauses to ensure the contract is legally binding and enforceable.
  • Overlooking Legal Obligations: Contracts might impose, or conversely, fail to impose,  legal obligations that are not immediately apparent. A lawyer can highlight these obligations, ensuring you are fully aware of what you’re agreeing to.
  • Failure to Protect Interests: Without professional review, a contract may not ensure your interests are protected. A lawyer can suggest modifications to ensure the contract is fair and balanced.
  • Compliance Issues: Contracts must comply with relevant laws and regulations. A lawyer ensures that the contract adheres to these legal requirements, reducing the risk of legal penalties.
  • Dispute Resolution: A contract should clearly outline how disputes will be resolved. Lawyers can craft effective dispute resolution clauses to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation.
  • Missed Opportunities: A lawyer might identify beneficial clauses or terms you hadn’t considered, adding value to the agreement.
  • Cost Implications: While skipping legal review might save costs initially, it could lead to significant financial losses in the future due to legal disputes or contract breaches.

At Solomon Hollett Lawyers, we understand the complexities and nuances of contract law. Our team can review your contract to ensure it is legally sound, fair, and aligns with your interests. We aim to provide peace of mind by reducing the potential risks associated with unreviewed agreements.

How do contract lawyers ensure my business complies with Australian contract law?

Our commercial contract lawyers in Perth are essential in ensuring your business complies with Australian contract law by drafting and reviewing contracts to ensure legal accuracy and clarity, assessing risks, and providing negotiation support. They offer crucial legal advice, assist in dispute resolution, and ensure regulatory compliance, adapting to any changes in laws and regulations. 

Their experience and knowledge not only safeguards your business from legal challenges, but also enhances the strategic soundness of your contracts. 

At Solomon Hollett Lawyers, we specialise in delivering bespoke contract law services, aligning legal solutions with your unique business needs and objectives within the Australian legal framework.

What is the process for resolving disputes over contracts?

Resolving contract disputes generally involves a step-by-step process:

  1. Issue identification: the first step is to clearly identify the nature of the dispute. This involves understanding the specific contractual terms that are in question and the positions of each party involved. 
  2. Negotiation: parties attempt to resolve the issue through direct communication. 
  3. Mediation: if negotiation fails, a neutral mediator assists in finding a mutual agreement.
  4. Arbitration: another alternative to court, where an arbitrator (or panel) listens to both sides and makes a binding decision. 
  5. Litigation: as a last resort, parties present their case in court for a legal resolution.
  6. Enforcement: the agreed-upon resolution or court order is implemented. 

Each step offers a potential resolution pathway, escalating from informal negotiations to formal legal proceedings, tailored to the dispute’s complexity and the contract’s specifics. We provide support and guidance throughout this process, and aim for effective resolutions that align with your interests and legal compliance.

Can a contract lawyer help with contract terminations or amendments?

Yes, our Perth contract lawyers can assist with both contract terminations and amendments. They offer support in legally ending or modifying contracts, ensuring compliance with relevant laws while protecting your interests. 

How does a contract lawyer differ from other types of lawyers?

A contract lawyer specialises in legal matters related to contracts, focusing on drafting, reviewing, and interpreting agreements, unlike other types of lawyers who may specialise in areas like criminal law, family law, or personal injury.
