We help small businesses register Australian and international trade marks and manage the practical processes such as submissions, oppositions, objections, evidence of use, letters of consent, trade mark infringement, and trade mark disputes.

To date, we’ve registered or advised on nearly 1,000 trade marks for clients across Australia and internationally. As registered agents, we also handle New Zealand trade marks, and through our network of trusted global agents, we manage international trade mark applications.

We also provide practical and quick advice about the protection of a small business’ intellectual property, including non-disclosure agreements or deeds of confidentiality, intellectual property protection within employment contracts or independent contractor agreements, supply agreements or IP licence agreements.

We provide small businesses with tailored legal advice and documents on areas of corporate law that are relevant to their circumstances.

It is very important to have the right business structure set up from a legal and risk management point of view.

Based on thorough research and discussions with you, we can draft your business’s privacy policy and supply personalised legal advice on conformity. We also draft privacy policies that are in line with the GDPR for businesses that are located in different countries or have clients from abroad.

As privacy regulation is gaining more and more significance, a considerable number of customers and clients now take for granted that businesses should have a well-defined and compliant privacy policy. In Australia, adherence to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) has been elevated to the status of a normal business requirement; thus, it is no longer just considered best practice.

In case your small business is engaged in the collection of sensitive health, medical, or financial information, it is possible that you will be under a legal obligation to have a privacy policy even if you are small and have a low turnover. Our skilful privacy lawyers make sure that your enterprise stays in line with the rules, safeguarded, and gains the confidence of customers.

We provide small businesses with a wide range of tailored legal documents and contracts across key areas such as Intellectual Property Law, Commercial Law, Privacy Law, Workplace Law, Corporate Law and Litigation or Dispute Resolution. Your business will be the main focus of each document so that you can have the proper protections for your daily operations.

The only customised legal documents that can adequately protect your small business from unnecessary risks are yours. Just by using generic or template agreements, there are often important gaps left that may expose your business to disputes, compliance issues, or financial loss. Our job is to make sure that your contracts are understandable, legally binding, and in accordance with the law in Australia.

We work with small business owners to meet their legal requirements in the workplace. That is how we ensure that employees and contractors are working under clear and compliant agreements. This includes drafting employment contracts and independent contractor agreements, as well as advising on legal issues around employee rights, termination, and dismissal.

We, the team, are a great asset to small businesses in understanding the Fair Work Act and Australian employment laws. We are instrumental in the mitigation of challenges that include unfair dismissal, unlawful termination, and workplace disputes. Through compliance, we bring down the possibility of expensive claims and a disorderly workplace.

We also draft Codes of Conduct, Social Media Policies, Sponsorship Agreements and Equal Employment and Opportunity Policies (EEO). These documents not only support compliance but also help create a fair, consistent, and legally sound workplace culture.

We help small businesses resolve disputes with other companies, suppliers, contractors, or consumers. Our lawyers specialise in commercial disputes, intellectual property disputes, trade mark infringement matters, copyright infringement cases, and court proceedings. We also prepare and respond to cease and desist letters to protect your business from ongoing harm.

Our team regularly drafts letters of demand and statutory demands and has extensive experience handling disputes across a wide range of commercial and corporate matters. Where possible, we aim to resolve conflicts quickly and cost-effectively through negotiation, but we are also experienced in representing clients in formal litigation when required.
