Lawpath

Lawpath: legal, tax and compliance platform for Australian small businesses

Lawpath is an Australian digital platform that integrates legal, accounting and regulatory compliance services for small and medium-sized businesses. Its offering combines software tools with the backing of lawyers and accountants, and presents itself as an artificial intelligence operating system for professional services, called Lawpath Atlas.

Business formation services

The platform supports entrepreneurs from company incorporation. It allows you to register a company, obtain an ABN (Australian Business Number) along with GST and the business name, and choose the right legal structure through a guided questionnaire. It also offers trademark registration and trust setup.

Legal documentation and legal advice

Lawpath provides access to over 550 lawyer-reviewed legal documents, focused on contracts, policies and employment documents, with signing and sending options. For cases requiring personalised assistance, the platform connects you with lawyers specialising in areas such as business law, startups, franchising, contracts, employment, intellectual property, debt collection and tax. It offers various legal subscription plans, from an essentials plan to an in-house legal service.

Accounting, tax and compliance

The accounting section includes tax management plans, accountant advice, managed accounting, tax planning, BAS (Business Activity Statement) lodgement, bookkeeping, payroll and services for companies and sole traders. In terms of compliance, the platform manages the ASIC compliance plan, company changes, annual review, ASIC and ATO agent services, company deregistration and the resident director role. It also offers a virtual office service to use a business address without renting a physical space.

Lawpath Atlas: applied artificial intelligence

Atlas is the artificial intelligence layer that monitors the company's legal, tax, accounting and compliance activity in real time, flags risks early and suggests actions. Its functions include automatic contract review, which analyses the document and explains in plain language what aspects are relevant, what is missing and what to watch out for. The tool is powered by real contracts and legal advice from Australian small businesses.

Customer profile and sectors

The platform is designed for small businesses and founders. Among the sectors for which it offers specific solutions are media, NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), startups, consulting, e-commerce, medical, accounting and construction.

Pricing model and access

Lawpath sells its services through subscriptions and bundled packages that group legal, tax and compliance services. The company highlights that its technology model reduces the usual cost of these services and offers clear pricing with no surprise bills. Registration on the platform is free.
