About Us

Australia’s Leading Publisher of Practical Legal Guides

Written By Lawyers, For Lawyers.

All By Lawyers publications–matter plans, commentary, precedents and reference materials–are written or reviewed by a practitioner with experience in the relevant area of law and the applicable state or federal jurisdiction.

With a library of over 15,000 precedents, 140 end-to-end matter guides and 13 reference manuals, we offer practical and professional guidance in all major areas of law.

A team of over 50 legal professionals update content to reflect changes in the law and practice, so you can be confident that you’re working with the latest forms, precedents and matter commentary.  

By Lawyers is designed to help you quickly locate practical guidance and precise answers. Commentaries explain how to conduct each step of a matter, so you have the freedom to access as much, or as little, guidance as you need. By Lawyers Reference Guides give you the power to delve deeper into the law when required, with interactive lists of contents and links to relevant cases and legislation.

Whatever your area of practice, there are By Lawyers guides and precedents that can help you work faster and smarter.
