Connected Legal + Commercial is based in Chippendale and works primarily with founders, SMEs and growing companies. Its practice is built around the legal needs that arise as a business is formed, signs contracts, hires people, protects intellectual property and expands. Services include commercial agreements, corporate advice, intellectual property, employment, commercial leasing and wills and estate-related work, with an emphasis on connecting legal advice to real operating decisions.
Contract work can include customer and supplier agreements, service terms, collaboration arrangements, confidentiality documents, licences and other business paperwork. For companies developing brands, software, content or other intellectual property, the firm can assist with ownership, permitted use and commercialisation terms. Addressing shareholder, IP and customer contracts early can reduce the risk of disagreement over responsibility or ownership as a business grows.
Employment services cover contracts, contractor arrangements, policies and workplace-related issues, while commercial leasing supports businesses entering, changing or leaving premises. The firm also provides estate planning, wills and probate services for founders and business owners whose personal assets, company interests and succession arrangements are connected.
