I needed a contract reviewed urgently. Ines at MLS was able to review the contract in a timely manner and she also provided a list of amendments she recommended and then implemented once discussed with me. The whole process from start to finish went seamlessly and the stress factor was non existent. I will be using Melbourne Law Studio for any legal needs in the future

I was nervous about entering into a new commercial lease as the previous one we signed ended badly. MLS made it feel very relaxed and broke everything down for me without issue. They made sure that I understood my obligations and negotiated further rights to include in the contract so that I avoid the issues I’ve had previously. I’m glad I got onto Melbourne Law Studio and would highly recommend them.
