Commercial lawyer Troy Maloney has launched Camber Law & Advisory, a boutique practice based on the Gold Coast with a Brisbane presence, focused on corporate advisory, commercial contracting and intellectual property law for founder-led and privately held businesses.

The Story

Troy recently spent five years as a Consultant at DBN Lennox before deciding to build a practice designed specifically around how founders and business owners actually make decisions.

“Founders and business owners aren’t looking for someone to just spot legal issues”, Troy said.

“They’re looking for someone who understands that a shareholder exit, a capital raise or a trade mark filing doesn’t happen in isolation. It sits alongside everything else going on in their business, and often in their personal life too, because for a founder those two things are rarely separate.”

Experience in corporate, commercial and intellectual property

Troy’s experience spans a wide range of transactions and matters for founders and business owners across Queensland and the east coast. He has recently advised a primary shareholder on the distressed sale of an agricultural business, acted for the founders of a panelised building system business on their shareholders’ agreement, profit share arrangements and share option rights, and provided ongoing corporate, transactional, commercial, regulatory and intellectual property support to a global identity verification business, including separate strategic advice to its founder following private equity investment. He has also guided founders through the sale of their businesses, including a veterinary practice sold to a private equity acquirer and a Gold Coast events business sold as part of a founder’s exit.

On the commercial side, Troy has acted for a global SaaS travel technology business across its corporate, commercial and intellectual property needs, including software as a service agreements, end user licence agreements, privacy policies and licensing terms. His intellectual property work has included preparing and prosecuting trade mark applications in Australia and the United States for a Gold Coast vehicle performance parts manufacturer, alongside broader advice on brand protection and IP ownership issues arising from founder exits and business partner separations.

“I started Camber Law & Advisory because I wanted to give founders and owners that kind of advice properly, not as an add-on to a bigger practice, but as the actual focus”, Troy said.

“Being small and selective by design means I can stay directly involved in every matter from start to finish, and see how a contract issue, a governance gap or a trade mark position all connect to the same commercial outcome.”

Camber Law & Advisory acts for businesses across the east coast of Australia, with a particular focus on Queensland founders and owners in technology, manufacturing, agriculture and hospitality.
