McCullough Robertson’s Intellectual Property Group focuses on assisting clients to extract the maximum benefit from their intellectual property assets through effective protection, management and commercialisation.

Our multi-disciplinary team advises a wide range of organisations, from those in start-up phase through to large, established businesses including several companies listed on the ASX. We also advise public sector organisations, universities, government bodies and research institutes. Our group has a comprehensive track record in all forms of intellectual property law and assists entities across a range of sectors including life sciences, information technology and e-commerce.

In addition to our lawyers’ specialised intellectual property knowledge and experience, we assist our clients with a broad range of corporate and commercial legal issues including risk identification and management, litigation, business structuring, regulatory and trade practices issues, due diligence, business transactions and capital raising.

Our lawyers also have extensive experience documenting and providing advice in relation to a wide range of commercial transactions, including licensing, assignment, research and development, supply, services and distribution arrangements.

We act for franchisors, including many of Australia’s best known retailers, and provide a full range of services including advice on intellectual property protection, preparation of franchise agreements and disclosure documents, compliance with the Franchising Code of Conduct, leasing and disputes.

With the depth of resources, we provide the full range of legal services from corporate advisory to intellectual property management, trade practices, commercialisation and risk management, focusing on commercial solutions to the myriad of complex legal and technical issues our clients may encounter.
