The CH-Earnest Difference

You know the hard reality of 21st-century business — if your operation stands still, you lose competitive advantage and credibility. With a commercial landscape that’s more fluid than at any time in history, adapting too slowly or failing to take advantage of emerging opportunities can be costly.

Therefore, you require a lawyer who can react immediately and offer progressive assistance and guidance to your forward-thinking business — exemplified by CH-Earnest.

From IT to property, commercial to general counsel, we give you unmatched access to legal services that allow you to hit the ground running.

We offer competitive packages that deliver comprehensive and affordable solutions depending on your business’s requirements — anything from new start-up bundles to NDA or shareholder resources.

Furthermore, our subscription-based plans ensure cost-effective access to a lawyer as and when required for your operation — giving you pleasing flexibility and allowing you to control your legal spending. Imagine the convenience and reassurance of having an in-house style legal resource, without the overhead of a full-time salary.

A lawyer for over 15 years, and having worked in private practice, in-house and commercial roles within small, medium and large Australian firms — both home and overseas — his focus is on providing a thoroughly personal approach, uncovering your goals and objectives, and working with you to deliver an effective solution.

Jason Arraj CH-Earnest Consultant.

Jason Arraj – Consultant

Over three decades of experience have honed Jason’s extensive expertise in law — encompassing building and construction disputes, litigation, insolvency, and corporate advisory. Always up to date with regulatory changes, he translates his industry knowledge into practical solutions for his consultant role at CH-Earnest.

Property law is, however, Jason’s primary focus — able to navigate complex transactions involving residential, commercial, retail, and industrial buildings. Upholding honesty and integrity, Jason prioritises preventative measures to avoid disputes and accommodates client needs beyond traditional business hours.

Furthermore, his collaborative approach and outreach with real estate agents, developers, and financial professionals allow him to deliver innovative solutions tailored to each client’s unique situation.

Away from CH-Earnest, Jason’s commitments extend further than legal matters — evidenced by his role as a Board Member supporting local businesses through the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce.
