Subscription services have permeated pretty much every area of our lives. We get our regular entertainment fix on platforms like Netflix, our music through streaming services like Spotify, and even our weekly meals delivered right to our doorsteps via subscription food boxes – the list goes on!
The subscription-based model is now also transforming the legal industry. You might be wondering: why would lawyers offer a subscription service? How does a subscription model differ from the usual retainer arrangement? And what exactly do you get when you sign up for a legal subscription service?
At Sprintlaw, we truly understand the benefits that legal subscription services can deliver to our clients. In fact, we recently introduced our very own subscription service: Sprintlaw Membership. Already, in 2025, we’re seeing how it makes legal access more affordable, predictable, and reliable for businesses of all sizes. If you’re looking to establish a robust legal framework from the start, you might also want to check out our guide on operating as a sole trader versus incorporating your company.
If you’re curious about using a subscription service to cover your business’ legal needs, here’s what you need to know.
In this article, we’ll explain how a legal subscription works in 2025, outline the benefits it brings, and help you decide whether it’s the right choice for your business. For further insights into building a secure legal foundation, have a look at our Getting Started with Your Legals guide.
How Does A Legal Subscription Service Work?
You’re probably familiar with how a service like Netflix operates – you pay a set fee and gain unlimited access to their content. In the legal world, the model translates to an annual subscription where you pay a one-off fee and, for the entire year, gain access to a defined scope of expert legal support.
Every legal subscription is tailored to meet different needs. When designing our service, we focused on what our clients consistently tell us is most valuable: on-demand, unlimited access to our lawyers. This means you can book calls at any time to discuss everything from your business contracts to advice on intellectual property rights – all delivered through our efficient, tech-powered approach.
So, here’s what we offer as part of our Sprintlaw Membership:
- Free updates to any legal documents we’ve drafted for you
- Unlimited free 30-minute calls with our expert lawyers
- 10% discounts on all our fixed-fee legal services
- Exclusive access to partner offers, including discounted services from accounting, tax, and business registration experts – check out our Company Set Up resources for more details
- Access to our innovative Sprintlaw Signatures tool (included with your Sprintlaw Membership)
- Assistance with simple legal documents through our advanced AI-powered legal chat service
What Are The Benefits Of A Legal Subscription Service?
Now that we’ve explained what a legal subscription service is, let’s explore some of the key benefits of using a subscription-based model for your business’ legal needs in 2025.
You Can Easily Factor the Cost of Legal Services into Your Business’ Budget
In today’s unpredictable economic climate, having a fixed, upfront cost for your legal services is incredibly valuable. With a subscription model, you know exactly what your annual legal fees will be. This eliminates the uncertainty of hourly billing, ensures you avoid surprise costs, and lets you plan your cash flow more efficiently – a tactic we highly recommend if you’ve ever looked into our Register a Business in Australia guide.
It’s an Investment in the Future of Your Business
Hiring a lawyer might not always seem like the easiest expense to justify. It can be tempting to rely on do-it-yourself templates or the goodwill of business partners. However, as your business grows, the cost of a misstep or an outdated contract can be far more expensive than a proactive, expert review. With Sprintlaw Membership, our experienced lawyers are on call to provide tailored advice that protects your unique interests.

You Can Get Your Legal Documents Updated as Your Business Evolves
As your business evolves, so should your legal documents. That’s why our subscription service includes free updates to documents we’ve prepared for you. This ensures your contracts, agreements, and policies remain current and fully support your growing business. Staying ahead with updated legal documentation is critical in today’s fast-paced market.
It’s Cheaper Than Engaging a Traditional Law Firm
We’ve built our legal subscription service on the principles of simplicity and affordability. Traditional law firms usually come with high overheads – think boardrooms, elaborate offices, and endless hourly billing – which inevitably drives up costs. Our streamlined, tech-powered model cuts out the unnecessary extras, meaning you only pay for what you need. In a head-to-head cost comparison, you’ll find that our subscription is a smart financial move for any business.
We operate under a lightweight, tech-powered model, making our legal service delivery fast, simple and reliable
Our innovative approach has attracted significant recognition. In recent years, we’ve been celebrated with prestigious awards including the 2025 Fiscal Innovation Award by the Australasian Legal Awards and recognition for Excellence in Technological Innovation – affirming that modern legal services can be both high quality and cost effective.
You Can Access Support for Other Areas of Your Business
Business success isn’t achieved on legal advice alone. Understanding that no business is an island, we’ve collaborated with a curated group of partners to provide additional support in areas like company registration, accounting, tax services, online payments, and more. As a Sprintlaw Member, you’ll benefit from exclusive discounts and offers that further streamline your operations.

In 2025, having a holistic approach to managing your business’ legal and operational requirements is more critical than ever. Regular, expert legal advice not only protects you but also propels your business towards sustainable growth.
Is a Legal Service Subscription the Right Choice for Your Business?
If your legal needs are minimal – say, just one contract drafted – a legal subscription might seem like overkill. However, it’s rare for a business to need just one contract or resolve all legal challenges in one go. Consistent, expert legal advice is essential for long-term success and stability.
If you’re serious about growing a successful, resilient business, you should have access to regular expert advice without the financial strain of traditional models. Our legal subscription service is designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of businesses in 2025, making premium legal support affordable and accessible.
For those looking to future-proof their business, our subscription service not only offers fixed pricing but also ensures your legal framework evolves in line with new challenges and regulatory changes. It’s a proactive solution that helps you stay ahead and focus on growth, rather than reacting to costly legal issues down the track.
