FIELD 03 / LEGAL
Legal and IP
Everything the growth and operations fields build needs protecting. This field brings a commercial IP and corporate lawyer to the table as part of the same plan.
Legal services under this field are provided by Lindsay, our partner counsel, through an independent incorporated legal practice. We coordinate the work as part of your overall advisory plan; the lawyer-client relationship sits with the legal practice.
What this covers
Intellectual property
Trademarks, copyright, designs and licensing across the full IP lifecycle: identifying what you own, protecting it and putting it to commercial use.
Commercial contracts
Supply, distribution, licensing and platform agreements plus terms of sale. Drafted and negotiated in plain language both sides can actually follow.
Governance and shareholder matters
Shareholder agreements, director duties and decision-making structures that scale with the business instead of holding it back.
Privacy and data compliance
Australian privacy law compliance: policies, consent, data handling and breach response, matched to how your business really uses data.
Confidential information and trade secrets
Frameworks that protect your know-how, pricing, processes and formulations when staff, suppliers and partners come and go.
Outsourced counsel
A lawyer who knows your business, on call. Deal review, strategic advice and a legal foundation built before problems arrive, not after.
R&D tax incentive support
The legal side of R&D claims: R&D agreements, IP ownership frameworks and documentation that stands up to scrutiny.
What you walk away with
- Your brand, products and know-how legally protected before competitors or disputes test them.
- Contracts that match how the business actually trades, in language you understand.
- A company structure ready for investment, partners or sale.
- Legal counsel involved in decisions early, when it is cheap, instead of late, when it is not.
