1 Kashif A.  · Never got back to me after a few contact attempts, would not recommend.
4 Yousif Suliman  · The service was good, but not comprehensive. For the amount of money you charged, I expected you to submit "no return required" on my behalf to the ATO.
5 John Lombardo  · Major part of my business's toolkit – - Lawpath provides peach of mind that all legal and compliance components of a business are in strong hands
5 Ahmed  · Fast and Simple – LawPath team is highly talented. They helped to setup the company and provided all available tools to make the journey easy
5 Gerhard S.  · Georgie was helpful 5 star – 5 star for georgie told her exactly what i wanted ,she was helpfull all the way
1 Rush. F  · Don’t fall into this – Absolute scam no use at all all they want is your money

Any positive review for this company is a lie. This company is a complete scam. I applied to start a company through them, as they promised fast results. Their AI got the wrong address and submitted this to ASIC, we informed Lawpath who then wanted $300 to correct their mistake, I did it free of charge through ASIC. ALL of their company documents… Read more

had the wrong address on them so we cancelled their service and was promised a refund due to their incompetence. This was never forthcoming!! Trying to contact this company is like "Mission Impossible" all calls get farmed off to an OS call centre whose only script is we will get a team member to contact you. Again this is never forthcoming. I have over 20 attempts to contact this company in 2 weeks. To add injury to insult they automatically set up up on a subscription service for their "ongoing service" to you. If this is their "service Im glad I spotted their scam and cancelled it. Use another company this company needs to learn how to treat customers correctly.

I was a supporter of Lawpath. My initial experience on the highest plan (legal advice plan) which included unlimited legal chats -30 mins with a lawyer. I could use their templates, draft my documents and initially I had a lawyer who was… Read more

professional and helped me with my contracts as per my plan. My latest experience was quite different. I drafted my terms and conditions document . I booked in a call with a lawyer. She reviewed the document and told me that there wasn't too much to fix that she could do it in 2 hrs for $900 or I could book another meeting. Being a bootstrapped founder who has done corporate law I said I was fine and will make the changes she recommended and book another meeting. The updates were minor. In the second call we probably had 10 mins of discussion as somehow I had inadvertently deleted the paragraph numbering making it hard for both of us to discuss the paragraphs. During this discussion she did show me how to use Lawpath Ai to check paragraphs. In the second session with paragraph numbering inserted we went through most of the document. There were only a few updates. I had noted the Warranty section from the template had to be updated as the Lawpath template inserted a paragraph for a physical product not a Saas product like I had. As time had run out (30mins ) she said for me to book another session or she could complete the paragraph. Given my unlimited advice plan I booked another session. She knew I was about to launch my product and needed to get the terms and conditions and privacy statement finalised. I received a response from Lawpath that my appointment was rejected. The lawyer had said she has had 3 appointments with me and that any further advice would be a 1:1 formal legal drafting -of the warranty paragraph and she would supply a quote. I was shocked. I provided a complaint to my Lawpath Account Manager that I was suppose to get unlimited consults in my plan. Over 1.5 days later at 5.30pm my Account Manager responded. She said "While there is no strict session limit, if the lawyer determines that the support extends into substantive legal drafting, detailed clause analysis, preparation, or ongoing revisions, this generally falls outside the scope of standard consultations. In those instances, the lawyer will discuss the most appropriate way to support you through a separate legal service solution." In my case she gave me no option and we are talking 1 paragraph. A paragraph I rewrote using Lawpath AI in 2 mins. I asked for where in the term & conditions and advertising does it say that call are capped under the "unlimited" calls subscription. It doesn't - it says (buried in the fine print in their terms and conditions) a lawyer can refuse a consult but Lawpath will assign another lawyer if that is the case. This was not the case. I haven't heard from the account manager since - now 3 days. My account renews shortly. You can't cancel online as they no longer have the free version. I lowered my subscription (upfront ) to the second tier ie templates plus Ai - who needs unethical lawyers who leave you high and dry when you most need them. The Ai deep thinking is good. Just ask their AI how it works and you can see the level of data that has gone to create it. My advice is buyer beware - the Legal Advice Plan does not provide unlimited consults. In fact is is lawyers using aggressive sales tactics to get customers to pay them. Once they have done 3 consults like my experience they will reject the appointment hoping to force you into a position to pay (you have spent time with them to understand your business). Lawpaths "unlimited" consults as shown in all their advertisements is false, misleading and deceptive and a breach of their own terms. Their lawyers don't work to the model their advertise. As a Fintech founder myself this has been a very disappointing experience. To be honest it is shameful for a founding company to do this to other Founders.

 Follow-up  · Ai deep learning combined with basic templates actually provided better responses than the lawyers did for me in 30 mins of skimming. Must have an extensive database for Ai. Used the template , wrote the document, uploaded, then added product info and then pressed deep learning review. It asked the right questions for a SaaS product and created… Read more

Absolutely atrocious service. No support. Their systems don't work properly, the platform's broken. I can't log in or reset my password, and nobody can support me on live chat or on the phone. Live chat they actually left early for the day for some reason. It said that they were available till 6pm on their website, and at 5:30 I was trying to… Read more

contact them, and they said that nobody's here anymore.

So, do not work with this company. Do not use this company. Try something else. Register your business elsewhere because you're not going to get support when you really need it urgently. It's infuriating and hopeless. I've given a zero for rates and fees purely because I am not getting any value for my money right now. Initially, I thought the pricing was good, but then I realized that there is no support and no help on a broken platform. Therefore, I can't give it a good price because I feel like I've been ripped off.

"Create unlimited legal documents for your business" BUT only 10 per day – At first, I was very impressed with the preview document. I paid for a 1-year subscription and jumped right in. I am working on putting together a company operations manual before a fast approaching workplace audit. I had created 10 (yes only 10) documents. A Labour Hire Agreement, then 9 company policies. I was then presented with a message… Read more

"Document access has been restricted due to suspicious activity". I contacted support who offered no support other than to tell me this was correct. I then got a call from support, who was helpful, but it was a fingers-crossed-only situation. I messaged again and was again told I could not keep working until 11 am the next day. The advertised "Create unlimited legal documents for your business" is misleading. You can create unlimited documents but apparently only 10 per day. If you have a project like creating a manual, you had better be prepared that it takes several weeks to complete, bit by bit, 10 pages per day etc. Unfortunately I have deadlines and must keep moving so switching back to ChatGPT for my work.

Professional scammer. Many Many hidden fees and charge – EDIT: most of the 5 stars reviews they have are very suspicious, mostly fake account. They kept suggesting to use their virtual office. I DID NOT select it as the first pop up screen when it clear says cost $39/month. But after the initial payment was made. Within the process to complete the application, I selected their address to receive… Read more

the document as it was suggest to fill in within the application with all beautiful words like " digital copies, all online, and all mail to your email address". I totally fooled by this thinking it is a once off thing. Turned out, it was a setup to get me hooked in to their virtual office subscription. The next day they presented me with the $380 subscription charge, or cancel it for free now and we will change the address for something like over $200. Or you can change it yourself but all the initial important papers had been sent to our virtual office, and might charge you what ever the price they want if you want to download it.

Totally my bad for not being extremely careful with these, but I want everyone else to know that they are very shady. And I'm not the only one that reporting them. I have created a facebook group for everyone to come forward and report this lawpath to ACCC. Hopefully this kind of business is no longer exists in Australia.

An excellent professional and supportive service – Lawpath have provided me with a very professional and friendly service. Their response to questions was always quick, to the point and usually easy to understand. Where I had difficulty understanding some of the more complex procedures or legalities, Lawpath personnel were always patient, and stayed with me until I did understand. As well,… Read more

Lawpath's online systems, especially their documentation completion and submission systems are excellent, with clear, easy to follow instructions, and time saving, auto fill functionality. I don't think I've ever had such an easy and pleasant time processing business-related account and legal processes.

The worst firm I have come across. They are crooks and cowards. I registered a company through them. The ad said that in October, there will be no fees, only pay ASIC fees. After registering the company, I was waiting for the registration documents but it did not arrive. When I inquired, I was told that the documents were in the dashboard and I… Read more

could download from there. They never told me that I have to buy a package costing as little as $89 to before I can download the documents. Isn't this an act coward?

I use Lawpath in my accounting firm for client requirements. This is an online platform that provides legal document processing at a reasonable price. I have used Lawpath for several years and have not had an issue until something went wrong and I needed support. You cannot speak with an intelligent/responsive person and you are referred into an… Read more

AI/Bot chatline linked to email. Their response is 'canned' with no personal reaction. Information is repeated and there is no 'time critical' acceptance or conversation. If you call the support number, you end up in a chat line...a pity because the concept is good.

I just wanted to download the document I just signed which was sent to me by the other party. Pressed the button "Upgrade to Download" and then created a free account with Lawpath. However this is not sufficient to be able to actually download my copy of the signed document, because you must then subscribe and pay money to Lawpath. This might… Read more

meet the letter of the law, "Upgrade to Download", but doesn't come close to passing the pub test. We at the pub say "shame on you Lawpath." And "Just give the guy a lousy single copy of his document would you?"

Two years in a row they have debited random (extremely large) amounts of money from my account for my subscription- with no advanced warning or consent. Last year I was guaranteed this would not happen again and locked in a rate that we agreed upon- so we maintained the relationship. This year they withdrew over double the negotiated amount, … Read more

nearly triple our agreement, without any notice or consent then proceeded to ignore all communications. They did not respond to emails, missed the appointment to discuss it, did not respond to my email to the appointment being missed and left me in financial hardship.This remains unresolved.

Scammers and cash grab - I abandoned registration to receive an email stating I will be direct debited from my bank account despite never completing the registration process with their website. HAve been charged $910 regardless of my emails to support objecting to their notification. Heard Nothing back. Avoid at all costs

No refunds – Watch out, they won't refund your subscription if you forget to cancel it. Also will keep spam calling you to upsell you on their services once you sign up.

Save Money and Stress - can’t recommend georgie and the plans enough – I set up my company with Georgie she was very knowledgable and she really simplified the process! She recommended getting legal advice prior to registration and i am so glad i did - signing up to the legal advice plan saved me money, not only prior to registration process but has saved me thousands in the few months i’ve been on it. I can’t recommend Georgie and Lawpath Services Enough

Do not use this company – After the trial period i wanted to delete my account and contacted them multiple times. When you try to online it doesn't let you and they charged me for a year subscription even though I contacted them multiple times. Now I need to work out how to deregister my business, abn and address as they did it its virtually impossible for me to access or change. Do not use this company.

Out of touch with the consumer – Before having even provided payment to Lawpath for a subscription, my recent experience has not been one which reflects well on their part. For a company whose target audience is small businesses - many of whom would be new start ups, their subscription and billing options lack connection and understanding for this audience. I enquired about the… Read more

possibility for being billed monthly on the "Essentials" plan and my experiences with the customer service agents "Joseph" and "Georgia", proved just how far into the gutter this aspect of a company's reputation has become. Furthermore "Ross", one of their business consultants, wasted no time in making three attempts to call me the moment I clicked the account sign up button. From the follow up email communication with him, the revealed intention of that was for a sales pitch, and upon expressing my discontent with the billing limitations, I was met with further lack of any worthy customer service experience. For their so called understanding of the cashflow challenges which new small businesses can face, Lawpath do not reflect a true connection or customer-centric approach to this. In 2021 the cost of the same plan (Essentials) was $288. It has now jumped to $468 with payment still expected to be made upfront, and a collective adamance that there is no monthly payment arrangement which can be made. The irony then lies in the fact that all other plans above Essentials are available on a monthly billing cycle - however you need to be prepared to pay an additional $100/month for this. Lawpath evidently have the billing software capabilities to offer monthly payment options, they simply choose not to for reasons they provide no worthy explanation for, merely palming off and ignoring the concerns raised. I made it very clear to all Lawpath employees I communicated with that I have no issue with paying the $468 across the course of the year, but require the flexibility to do so across monthly installments - a feature which is very common place amongst many other subscription based platforms and services.

E-Signing - Need an autofill feature – Happy that Lawpath provides an ASIC agency service and reminds when it is time for annual compliance and solvency certificates. However it would much more useful if when logging into the Account the document automatically filled in the company details rather than that needing to be manually inserted. This is especially problematic when you have multiple companies and have to then recall which company you are meant to be signing for!

for expensive unnecessary crap. When I complained the first year I dealt with two unsatisfactory people there last year, whose names I'll put up depending on their response to this.

Do not use them. I'm taking it to ASIC.

Absolute scammers! Stay away! – I was sold a 12-month subscription last year on the promise that I'll get a $1200 rebate from the government. I didn't have a use for it at the time but the sales rep said it was the last time the rebate is available (using time scarcity) and the service is essentially free with the guaranteed rebate. I trusted his words and signed up. A year… Read more

later, I am doing my taxes and realised I was never paid the rebate and Small Business Victoria is saying there was an additional form I didn't fill out which I was NOT told by the Lawpath sales rep.

As a small business, $1200 is a substantial amount of money to lose over a service I did not need or use.

In addition to this, they also promised a $200 referral fee for successful referrals which was also never paid.

This company is just out there to scam people's money with absolute rubbish after-sales service so stay away. As far as possible.
