We ask the tough questions of Vanessa Emilio, Legal123.com.au
You’ve got a free half hour during your work day. What do you do?
Go for a run along the beaches to get some thinking done!
Would you describe yourself as a technophobe or technophile?
The world is changing rapidly and you have to be on top of new technology. We are providing a service to people who are feeling more and more comfortable transacting online. I have great tech support and if there is anything I don’t understand, I google it.

Running – it’s great thinking time and even better for stress relief.

Word of mouth and testimonials received.

What do you do? Who for? And how does it benefit them?
Legal123.com.au is an online legal website with premium legal forms, templates and agreements that you can download in the comfort of your own home. We offer telephone support, can customise templates and great service!
I started Legal123.com.au 10 years ago after discussions with friends and colleagues who didn’t have the time or the money to visit lawyers. They also felt intimidated by the legal process so they were choosing instead to not bother writing a will, seeking money owed to them, and were being told to copy other website terms and conditions, privacy policies, and other legals.
Startup businesses didn’t know where to go for help in all aspects and we are unique in that we offer assistance in all aspect of starting your business from helping you set up a company or business through to helping you set up your website. We also offer product, manufacturing or liability advice, investment advice – you name it, we have done it!
I realised there was a huge gap in the market and need for something that offered easy-to-use, inexpensive legal templates that people could actually understand. Ours are written in plain English with pdf instructions, videos, FAQs and walk-throughs. We don’t just give you the template, we tell you what to do with it afterwards!
