How we work

Gain a competitive legal edge and leverage your ideas and brand to maximise your profits

You’ve had a great idea and discovered it’s something customers want to pay for. But without the right protections in place, anyone can just copy your name, brand, or process, and make money from all your hard work.

And worse still, you’ll then have to pay to fight them off.

That’s why a quick conversation with an IP and Commercial Lawyer like me can help. I can clarify your risks and make the protections process easy to understand, so you can secure what’s rightfully yours and maintain your market advantage.

What they say

Trust is everything in business

Donna has been instrumental in helping us ensure all our legal obligations are covered as we grow our business. She explained complex IP law in terms we could understand, and we feel confident that she'll be able to help us protect our product and brand as we scale up. At all times, Donna put our needs first, and she's been incredibly easy to work with. I would work with Donna again without hesitation.

Donna is so professional and knows her stuff. She's helped me with several IP-related legal services and I cannot recommend her enough. I could always reach her via email or phone, which was very helpful in time-sensitive circumstances. Thanks Donna!
Casey
My legal issues were handled swiftly and in a professional manner. I was at ease and confident with the way Donna handled my case. Will definitely be knocking on her door should the need arise again.
