Confident business owners build better businesses.

And confidence comes from knowing your legals are solid.

I help service-based small business owners across Australia design legal foundations that support growth, reduce risk, and align with how you actually do business. Because your contracts shouldn’t be a cookie-cutter afterthought; they should be one of your most powerful tools (and if tailored properly for YOUR business, they will be).

My mission?

To support small business owners like you to thrive by replacing legal overwhelm and uncertainty with clarity, calm, and confidence.

I believe that when you’re legally empowered, you make decisions differently. You lead with certainty. You protect what you’ve built. And you set your business up to stand the test of time.

That’s where my signature approach, Legals By Design®, comes in. I work with you to create tailored legal documents and frameworks that are strategic, smart, and easy to use, so you’re not left guessing, Googling, or hoping for the best.

Let’s take the pressure off.

When you’re juggling a million things, sorting out your legals can fall to the bottom of the list. But leaving things until something goes wrong isn’t a strategy, it’s a liability.

I’m here to partner with you and make legal protection feel less intimidating, because it’s one of the most important investments you will make in your business’ success. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me show you how.

Protect what you’ve built

I want you to feel confident and in control.

There’s no need to wonder what legals you need in place, or whether the documents you have are doing what they need to. No more “I should really get that sorted” thoughts entering your mind, and definitely no uncertainty.

Hi, I’m Tracey

& I’m doing law differently through my legal atelier.

Since starting my business in 2019, I've discovered that the best legal work happens when you truly understand each client's unique story and business dreams. That's why I've evolved beyond cookie-cutter templates to craft bespoke legal solutions — because your business deserves better than one-size-fits-all.

I love working with purpose-driven service business owners who, like me, believe in doing things properly. You know that cutting corners on legal protection is a false economy, and you're ready to invest in foundations that will support your long-term success.

What lights me up is getting to know your business inside out, then crafting legal solutions that actually make sense for how you operate. As a 2/4 splenic projector in Human Design, I'm naturally curious with a knack for spotting and solving problems before they become expensive headaches. I'll always explain things in plain English — because legal jargon helps no one.

This isn't just about contracts and compliance — it's about giving you the confidence to grow your business knowing you're properly protected
