Our Approach

Business problems are rarely confined to one area of law. Transactions, contracts and intellectual property issues are often interconnected, and we advise with that broader commercial picture in mind. This means you get advice that is legally precise and commercially complete.

Corporate Advisory

Corporate advisory is about more than transactions. We work with business owners and founders across the full commercial lifecycle, from structuring and governance through to capital raisings, acquisitions, exits, and everything in between.

Whether you are building, growing, preparing to transact, or navigating a shareholder issue, we bring the legal precision and commercial judgment the moment requires.

Transactions

We advise on business acquisitions, sales and capital raisings, structuring transactions that are that are legally sound, commercially practical, and positioned for smooth execution.

The groundwork done before a transaction begins often determines whether it succeeds. We help businesses prepare for investment or an exit by managing data rooms, conducting thorough legal due diligence and identifying and resolving structural, contractual, or governance issues that could delay or derail a deal.

Early preparation protects your negotiating position and gives investors or acquirers confidence in what they are buying.

Investor relationships do not end at completion. We prepare shareholder agreements and investor documentation that set clear expectations from the start, covering decision-making rights, drag and tag along provisions and dispute resolution mechanisms.

For founders navigating life post-investment, we provide ongoing support across governance obligations and investor relations strategy, so the relationship with your investors remains productive rather than adversarial.

The right structure protects your assets, minimises risk and supports your long-term commercial objectives. We advise on business restructures, new entity structures and asset protection strategies, working in close collaboration with your accounting and tax advisers to ensure legal and tax outcomes are aligned.

Whether you are starting a new venture, reorganising an existing group, or separating assets ahead of a transaction, structuring decisions made early pay dividends later.

Directors carry real legal obligations and the consequences of getting it wrong can be serious.

We advise on corporate governance frameworks, directors’ duties and the practical steps businesses can take to meet their obligations and reduce exposure.

We also advise on competition and consumer law compliance and broader regulatory matters affecting your industry, helping you stay ahead of obligations rather than responding to them.

Not every business needs or can justify a full-time in-house lawyer, but most founder-led businesses benefit from consistent and accessible legal support.

We provide on-demand general counsel services, giving you direct access to experienced commercial legal advice as your business needs it, without the overhead of a permanent hire.

Commercial

Your contracts are your revenue and your risk.

We prepare and review commercial contracts to protect what you have built by managing risk before it becomes a problem.

Manufacturing agreements

Custom manufacturing relationships involve significant investment on both sides and carry real risk if the legal arrangements are not properly documented.

We prepare manufacturing agreements that address custom product development, tooling ownership and cost recovery, warranty obligations, defect remedies and IP ownership, ensuring your commercial and proprietary interests are protected throughout the relationship.

Procurement contracts that are poorly drafted can leave your business exposed to delivery failures, payment disputes and warranty gaps.

We prepare and review supply agreements that protect your cash flow, set clear delivery and quality obligations and establish practical dispute and remedy mechanisms so that your supply chain operates with minimal legal friction.

Your client-facing contracts set the boundaries of your commercial relationships.

We prepare services agreements that manage your liability exposure, incorporate appropriate indemnities and insurance requirements, address confidentiality obligations and include well-drafted restraint of trade clauses where staff or key relationships are involved.

Appointing a distributor or reseller requires careful documentation to protect your brand,  your product, your revenue and your customer relationships.

We prepare distribution agreements that define territory rights clearly, set measurable performance benchmarks, address commission and royalty structures and establish warranty and product return protocols that work for both parties.

Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts need to address a set of risks that standard commercial contracts often overlook.

We prepare and review SaaS agreements covering service level benchmarks, uptime obligations, planned and unplanned downtime, data handling, privacy and security requirements, intellectual property ownership and termination rights, including data return and deletion obligations.

Licensing software, whether to customers, partners or end users, requires clear documentation of what is being licensed, on what terms and what is expressly excluded.

We prepare licensing agreements, end-user licence agreements and IP and data ownership frameworks that protect your proprietary rights and give your customers the certainty they need.

We prepare website terms of use, e-commerce frameworks and privacy policies that meet your obligations under the Privacy Act and are tailored to how your business actually operates.

We also advise on broader online compliance matters, including consumer law obligations relevant to digital businesses.

Entering a franchise system is a significant commercial commitment and the disclosure documents and franchise agreement are rarely negotiated in the franchisee’s favour by default.

We assist prospective franchisees in reviewing franchise documentation, identifying onerous or unusual provisions, understanding their rights and obligations and negotiating with franchisors.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is often a business’s most valuable and most underprotected asset.

We help clients identify, own, protect and commercialise their IP.

Strategy

Intellectual property without a strategy is just a registration.

We work with clients to develop IP strategies that align with their business model and commercial objectives, covering what to protect, how to protect it, how to commercialise it effectively and how to structure IP ownership to support future transactions, investment or licensing arrangements.

How IP is owned within a business structure matters enormously, particularly when transactions, investment or disputes arise.

We advise on IP ownership structures that keep valuable assets appropriately protected, separated from operating risk and positioned for commercialisation or transfer, including holding entity arrangements and intercompany licensing.

A trade mark is often your most commercially visible IP asset and one of the most important to protect.

We provide full-service trade mark portfolio management, including preparing and filing applications, managing prosecution through IP Australia and overseas registries, handling oppositions, enforcing rights against infringers and managing international filing strategies through our associated global network.

IP due diligence is a critical component of any acquisition, investment or commercialisation transaction.

We review target businesses’ IP assets, ownership structures, company policies and key agreements to identify ownership gaps, encumbrances and areas of exposure and work with you to implement solutions before they become deal issues.

A well-drafted non-disclosure agreement does more than protect information in an obvious dispute. It defines what is confidential, establishes clear obligations and creates an enforceable record of the parties’ intentions.

We prepare and review NDAs suitable for a wide range of situations, from early-stage investor conversations and supplier negotiations through to more complex multi-party commercial arrangements.

Many businesses have IP assets they have not properly identified, registered, or structured.

Our IP health check and audit reviews your existing IP assets, registrations, ownership arrangements and internal policies to identify gaps and risks and provides you with a practical roadmap for addressing them. It is particularly useful ahead of a transaction, capital raising or any significant change to the business.
