Lawpath is an Australian online legal platform that gives small and medium businesses access to legal documents, lawyer consultations, eSignature, and compliance tools under a single subscription — at a fraction of the cost of engaging a traditional law firm. The platform combines software tools with access to legal and accounting professionals, with a flat-fee model designed to eliminate the unpredictability of hourly legal billing. It covers the full range of SME legal needs: contract creation, business registration, employment documentation, ASIC compliance, and AI-powered contract review — all built around Australian law.

■ Key Features

• Legal document library: Access to 500+ customisable legal documents covering employment, contracts, IP, privacy, and corporate governance — built by Australian lawyers and updated for current legislation, with an AI-powered recommendation engine to surface the right template.

• AI contract review: Upload a contract and receive a plain-English breakdown of key clauses, risks, and missing provisions — powered by Lawpath's AI engine trained on Australian small business legal data.

• eSignature: Built-in eSignature supporting up to 15 parties per document, with real-time tracking, automatic reminders, a full audit trail, and legally compliant execution under Australian e-transactions law. Documents stored in ISO-27001 certified Australian data centres.

• Lawyer access: Depending on plan, includes unlimited 30-minute consultations with qualified Australian lawyers via video or phone — with fixed-price quotes for work beyond the subscription scope via the Lawyer Marketplace.

• Business registration & ASIC compliance: Company registration, ABN, business name, trust setup, and ongoing ASIC compliance management including annual reviews and company changes — all managed within the platform.
