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.
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.
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:

We understand that many legal matters arise at important moments in business and life. Our aim is to make the process of documenting those arrangements as straightforward, affordable and stress-free as possible.
