Your Startup Journey: A Legal Roadmap
Our startup lawyers in Melbourne understand the unique challenges that founders face. Our goal is to provide sound legal advice and help our clients succeed. We’ll help set up your business structure, protect your IP, or draft funding agreements.
With TNS Lawyers working with you, you can focus on growing your business while we handle the legal matter.

Setting Up Your Business Structure
Startups often use informal partnerships to save costs, but this can lead to problems. Without clear rules, disputes over roles, decisions, and legal issues are hard to resolve. Dissolving partnerships or managing assets can also be risky without proper agreements.
Our startup lawyers can help set up your business structure (sole trader, partnership, or company) and create shareholder agreements. This ensures all parties are aligned, minimises disputes, and facilitates decision-making.
TNS Lawyers can draft and review business structure agreements that work for all involved parties.
Protecting Your Intellectual Property (IP)
IP assets (patents, trademarks, copyrights) are crucial for business value and competitive advantage. Without protection, you risk idea theft, information exposure, and legal disputes.
Securing IP is vital for innovative businesses but creating a protection strategy can be complex. Our Melbourne startup lawyers can simplify this process, offering comprehensive strategies and preparing necessary documents.
Professional IP legal advice safeguards your startup from errors and disputes.
Funding Your Startup
Startups face challenges in capital raising. Various funding options exist such as venture capital, crowd-sourced funding, and private equity funding, each with specific legal requirements.
Equity-based crowdfunding and angel investments can provide significant capital but require legal agreements for equity stakes.
Without proper arrangements, you risk financial problems and investor disputes.
Our startup lawyers can help secure your financing by drafting terms, negotiating documents, and simplifying fundraising processes while mitigating risks.
