IP is a key asset that generates enterprise value. Recognising IP as a valuable asset enables better decision making about IP protection, to extract value through licensing and commercialisation, and to minimise risk. We assist clients including brand owners, research institutions, private investors and government entities and agencies to protect and unlock the full commercial and operational potential of their IP assets through IP registration, advising on infringement risk and oppositions, and commercialisation, royalty and licensing arrangements.

We advise on all aspects of liquor licensing, including contentious and non-contentious liquor licence applications (including new licenses and applications to vary and transfer) in all Australian jurisdictions, and regularly provide advice on regulatory interpretation and risk mitigation strategies and profit sharing arrangements.

To run any M&A deal efficiently and effectively, you need a top class deal team which has the skill, commitment, attention to detail and discipline needed to drive the deal to completion. We combine our hands-on technical legal and transactional skills and experience with our strategic commercial approach to get your deal over the line expertly and cost effectively. We can tailor our approach to suit your preferred model - including working collaboratively with your in house team and other external advisors.
