About RP Emery & Associates ~ Legal Publishers Since 1990

RP Emery and Associates is an Australian legal publishing service providing professionally drafted legal agreement templates for businesses and individuals since 1990.

Our goal has always been simple – to make sound legal protection accessible and affordable for ordinary Australians. Many people need properly drafted agreements but cannot justify the cost of engaging a solicitor for every transaction. Our templates bridge that gap by providing clear, professionally drafted legal documents that can be used immediately.

For more than three decades we have worked with experienced Australian lawyers to develop a comprehensive library of legal agreements covering business, commercial, property and personal matters.

Solid Legal Protection Without the Expense

Legal agreements play an important role in protecting your assets, relationships and business interests. However, traditional legal services can be expensive and time consuming, particularly where straightforward agreements are required.

RP Emery & Associates provides a practical alternative. Our documents are professionally drafted, written in plain English and designed for immediate use. They are suitable for a wide range of common legal situations and can be downloaded instantly from our website.

Where independent legal advice is required – such as for binding financial agreements – customers may obtain advice from a solicitor of their choice.
We can also refer customers to a network of independent Australian lawyers who are familiar with our documents and offer fixed-price advice services. These lawyers operate independently of RP Emery & Associates and provide advice directly to the customer.

Who Uses Our Documents

Our agreements are used by individuals, couples, landlords, business owners and professionals across Australia who require reliable legal documents without the high cost of traditional legal drafting.

Typical customers include:

  • Small and medium business owners
  • Property owners and landlords
  • Couples wanting financial certainty and asset protection
  • Individuals formalising private arrangements
  • Professionals seeking clear and practical precedent documents

Our Role

RP Emery & Associates is a legal publishing business. We are not a law firm and do not provide personal legal advice.

Our agreements are professionally drafted in consultation with experienced Australian lawyers and are designed to provide a clear and reliable starting point for documenting legal arrangements.

Where legal advice is required, customers may obtain independent legal advice from a solicitor of their choice. We can also refer customers to a network of independent Australian lawyers familiar with our documents who offer fixed-price advice services. Any legal advice is provided by those lawyers directly to the customer and not by RP Emery & Associates.
