How we help Businesses

"Verity was fabulous. She really understands the needs of small business, she listened to my specific concerns, and she wrote a contract that fit the brief, made sense (hallelujah!), and was delivered to me on time."

Christina Majoinen
Founder, Project TGL
"I love how you make legals for small business owners fun and accessible."

Rachel Kurzyp
Marketing Coach
"We approached Verity because we knew that what she would create would reflect who we were as a company. She took a boring document & made it delightful - exactly what we wanted to achieve!"

Kate Sherburn
Legal Beagle, Who Gives A Crap
"Verity is amazing at getting to the heart of the matter, simplifying legal terms and making it easier for legal documents to be understood by all."

Jenni Harding
Founder/MD, Greatest Good
"I came to Verity because I'd just updated all my services and I had no terms of services for them. I wasn't sure how to get started to write them myself. Plus, I wanted to make sure that they were lawful!"

Emillie Gomez
Systems Strategist + Intentional Productivity Coach
"The Sharesies legal team considers Verity a valuable asset and regularly taps into her expertise for legal contract design advice and more. Verity has been involved in document automation for consent to use personal information and has facilitated legal quarterly review meetings."

Nat Bryant
General Counsel, Sharesies
"Verity was always prompt, professional and enjoyable to work with in bringing my contracts, T&Cs etc into currency. Something that I felt was a labour, was made into something easy to manage. Thank you. We'll do it all again periodically to make sure all's well and good in legal land."

Misha Prusa,
Director, SHOUT Productions
"Verity is a contracts goddess and I love her passion for something I’d previously consider as a boring part thing to work on in your business — little did I know I just needed some Verity spice to explain it to me in a different way. As someone who loves an on brand experience, I loved finding out that my contracts could be on brand and ensure my business was safe-guarded and acted as a solid boundary."

Peta Serras,
Founder, Professional Babe
"Verity and the Checklist Legal team made creating and reviewing Good4Business's legal documents fun and easy. The process was straightforward, and I felt confident that all aspects of my business were addressed professionally and using Good4Business's brand voice and identity. I highly recommend Verity and the Checklist Legal team for creating legal documents that make sense."
