Lachlan Murray

Concrete approach to business law

Lachlan joined the NeoMetrics team in November 2018. He moved to us from a large law corporation in Perth because he was tired of writing documents no one reads. Since then, he has closed 187 cases regarding internal company conflicts. His rule is simple: law is meant to help earn money, not throw logs under feet. You won't hear Latin sentences from him, just clear guidelines on what's allowed and what's not.

In 2024 alone, Lachlan analyzed 2,143 pages of contracts for our clients. Every document he takes in his hand passes a utility test. If an entry is redundant, Lachlan throws it out. Thanks to this, he shortened the average contract signing time for our regular partners by 4 days. He acts quickly because he knows that in business, time is a specific currency. His record is preparing a full investment agreement in 14 hours from the first meeting.

Lachlan ensures that firms in Perth operate in accordance with Fair Work regulations. He has already helped 43 local enterprises emerge unscathed from an audit without paying a single dollar in fines. He focuses on facts and numbers. Instead of promising gold mountains, he presents real risks and an action plan. If he sees a court case is unwinnable, he says so straight over the first coffee. This allowed our clients to save a total of 342,000 AUD on unnecessary procedural costs in the last quarter.

At NeoMetrics, Lachlan is responsible for ensuring every cooperation has clear rules of the game. The average time he replies to emails is 108 minutes. He doesn't leave people with questions over the weekend. He believes order in papers is the business owner's peace of mind. He works hard, but humanly – without fluff and unnecessary distance. He can be direct, which is highly valued by clients from the construction and transport industries in Perth.

Privately, Lachlan is a regular at Scarborough beach, where he can be found in the morning before work. He is a fan of local cricket and knows the best coffee spots around Adelaide Terrace. He's available in the office from Monday to Thursday between 8:15–17:30, and finishes at 15:00 on Fridays to spend time with his family. Sometimes he doesn't answer the phone at lunch at 13:10, but he always calls back before 14:00. P.S. If you need a quick opinion on a commercial lease, Lachlan has a ready control scheme that saves 3 hours of work.
