Lawpath

Lawpath provides Employment Workplace Lawyer and Advisory services to Australian small businesses through its online legal, tax and compliance platform.

• Businesses can access more than 550 lawyer-approved legal documents, including employment contracts and workplace policies, alongside a dedicated Employment and HR document category.
• An on-demand ‘Hire a lawyer’ service connects businesses with employment lawyers for advice tailored to their situation.
• Legal Advice Plan and Legal Advice Plus subscriptions provide unlimited lawyer calls for ongoing employment questions, avoiding hourly billing.
• The AI powered Lawpath Atlas tool monitors legal, tax and compliance activity and flags risks early across a business’s employment documentation.

Best for: small business owners who need affordable, on demand access to an employment lawyer for hiring documentation and workplace policy questions rather than a traditional law firm retainer.

Lawpath offers HR Policy Development and Review support for Australian small businesses managing their own employment documentation.

• The platform’s document library includes lawyer-approved workplace policies alongside employment contracts, covering rules and expectations for employee behaviour.
• Documents are set up online and can be reviewed, signed and sent through the platform rather than drafted from scratch.
• Lawyer consultations are available to review or tailor existing policy documents to a specific business.

Best for: small businesses that need to put compliant workplace policies in place quickly without engaging a dedicated HR consultancy.
