Client Testimonials

I engaged Axe Legal to prepare a loan agreement for funds I was lending to a business partner. Boris drafted a clear document that protected my interests while keeping the relationship intact. He explained every clause in simple terms and ensured the repayment schedule and security were watertight. I now have total peace of mind knowing the agreement will hold up if ever tested.
David
I contacted Axe Legal before signing a mortgage on my first investment property. Boris reviewed the documents, explained every clause in plain English and highlighted the hidden fees and default provisions I would have missed. He even negotiated minor changes with the lender that saved me thousands over the life of the loan. His clarity and professionalism gave me complete confidence before signing.
Clare
I was asked to personally guarantee a business loan for my company and the bank required independent legal advice before signing. Boris explained every clause and made sure I understood exactly what assets were at risk. His clear advice gave me confidence to sign only once the terms were fair.
Karen
I engaged Axe Legal after months of chasing a client who refused to pay a large invoice. Boris reviewed our contract, sent a detailed letter of demand and secured full payment within a week. His direct approach got results quickly and saved me significant time and stress.
Alex
I was required to get independent legal advice before signing a guarantee for my company’s loan. Boris explained the document in simple terms, made sure I understood every clause and issued the certificate straight away so settlement could proceed. He was professional and genuinely looked out for my interests.
Catherine
Our company sells equipment under retention of title terms but we’d never formally registered our security interests. Stefan helped us register everything on the PPSR correctly. When one client later went into liquidation, our registration meant we recovered our goods in full. Axe Legal’s attention to detail paid for itself many times over.
