"Nick was great to work with. Concise communication, clear direction. So in terms of pricing, Pragma were extremely efficient and cost effective through the entire process. At the end of the day Pragma were really easy to work with and I look forward to working with them again."
"Aaron, Nick, and the team at Pragma Legal pair professionalism with practicality to achieve desirable solutions. Having engaged, as well as sat on the opposite to the Pragma team, the firm becomes a trusted advisor through understanding circumstances and objectives, whilst applying proven technical and commercial expertise. The team is always accessible, communicates promptly, and provides clarity in an environment fraught with complexity. I wholeheartedly recommend Pragma Legal to assist you in every step of your legal journey"
"We used Pragma to draw up new staff contracts following the new WHS Act and found their service to be seamless. Quick response times and price transparently provided up front. They happily answered our follow up queries and understood our industry specific needs amazingly quickly. Will happily use again as our go-to legal support."
"Pragma have been wonderful advisors to the Rivet Group on a range of matters across disputes, M&A, compliance and insolvency. Our experience with Pragma is that they are readily available, have a great team in place who is easy to work with, and they always get the law right. On more than one occasion, we have requested urgent advice on short notice and Pragma has always been willing to deliver. A firm with a bright future, we intend to engage Pragma Lawyers in years to come."
"Pragma recently facilitated appropriate workplace behaviour training for 200 employees at BDO Perth. Libbi and Max presented the content in an informative and interactive manner, and were able to apply a commercial lens to the training. The case study examples used in the training were highly relevant to our industry and helped engage our people in what can be a complex and ambiguous area of legislation. I have had positive feedback from Partners and employees following the session and I would have no hesitation in recommending Pragma for future training opportunities."
