About

Who we are

Jacobson Attorneys commenced practice as a general commercial law firm in August 2005. We are a commercial legal services law firm. We advise our clients on and development legal frameworks for a variety of commercial endeavours including:

  • service agreements;
  • leases;
  • licenses; and
  • trading terms and conditions.

Why you should use us

At Jacobson Attorneys we believe strongly in giving you more value for your money. We don’t just pay lip service to this goal, we have entrenched it in our fee model which you can read more about in our terms of appointment. While we retain the traditional billable hour model for our few clients who prefer it, we recommend that our clients either consider our fixed fee or retainer fee options which are highly customisable having regard to a number of factors unique to your requirements.

When you brief us you will not find your file being passed to junior lawyers to be dealt with at some unspecified time in the future. Here the person you brief is the person who takes responsibility for getting the job done properly and when you need it. Because of our emphasis on adding value to the work we do, we use the most appropriate tools to do the work as efficiently as we can. Our computers are more than glorified paper weights. We use them and this is why you will find multiple ways of engaging with us digitally.

A quick note about the holidays

This year has been quite a ride and I think 2012 is going to be even better. For starters you should see a couple organizational changes in the new year as new staff join the firm and Jacobson Attorneys refocuses itself. These changes will be accompanied by a new launch which I am pretty excited about and which is probably a little overdue. This is all a little mysterious but there are a couple pieces still moving into place before I can be more specific. The wait will be worth it, I think.

The firm will close for a bit these holidays. For starters, its closed on 8 December (this Thursday) for the day. The firm will also be closed for the week of 26 December and we’ll be back in the hot-seat on 3 January 2012. Aside from the possibility of a slower day on the 9th of December, we’re working away like obsessed dervishes the rest of the month so feel free to dump that work you’re been procrastinating about all year and go on holiday with the weight lifted while we get right to it.

If you are going away, have a great holiday! You deserve it. Be safe, have fun and, to quote How I Met Your Mother, an awesome show we have only just started watching, make it legendary!

Oh, before I forget, please consider signing up for our office news mailing list which I use to push out the occasional firm-related update about downtime and possibly even staff changes. Alternatively, follow us on Twitter or through our Facebook Page for updates.
