Legal that starts with the outcome, not the legal lecture.

You’re raising your first round.

Making your first hires, signing the contracts that matter. We get the deal done so you can keep building.

You’ve outgrown generic legal support.

But you balk at big-firm rates, rightly. Senior counsel on call for the decisions that move the business.

You are the legal team.

Extra capacity from lawyers who’ve sat where you sit. Overflow handled, judgement included, no ramp-up required.

Counsel across everything commercial

One senior team for the legal work a growing business actually runs into.

No. 01

Commercial

Your contracts are where revenue lives and risk hides. We draft and negotiate customer, supplier and SaaS agreements built for your deal flow rather than recycled from a precedent bank. Structuring, privacy and consumer law sit with the same team, so nothing falls between advisers.

No. 02

Corporate and M&A

We run rounds and deals end to end, from first term sheet to completion. SAFEs, priced rounds, ESOPs, shareholders agreements and M&A on either side. We sit across from the major funds every week, so you get current market positions, not theory.

No. 03

Health and regulatory

Digital health is one of the most heavily regulated corners of the economy, and we work in it daily. We advise telehealth platforms, clinics, pharmacies and health tech companies on AHPRA, TGA, NDIS and state health rules, the ones that decide whether a model is viable at all.

No. 04

Dispute resolution

Most disputes are commercial problems before they are legal ones, and the best outcome is usually a signed deed rather than a judgment. We push hard for early, favourable settlement and prepare properly for the fights worth having, from founder fallouts to payment recovery.

No. 05

Employment

We act for employers and employees, so we know exactly how the other side thinks. Contracts and executive agreements, contractor risk, restraints, performance management and terminations, with advice that holds up under Fair Work scrutiny and still lands the business outcome.

No. 06

Migration

Hiring the best person often means hiring across borders. We bring key talent to Australia on skilled and global talent pathways, keep sponsorship compliant, and handle the employment contracts and equity that come with the hire, so the whole package lands together.

No. 07

Wills and estate planning

Founders hold assets most wills were never drafted for. Shares, options, vesting equity and operating businesses need a plan, not a template. Wills, testamentary trusts and powers of attorney, aligned with your shareholders agreement, so no one is left guessing.

No. 08

General counsel

Senior counsel on retainer through Zed Plus. One monthly fee, a dedicated lawyer who knows your business, and Parachute legal AI for the questions that cannot wait. Plans flex up or down as you grow, and you can leave whenever you like.
