Nicholas Weston IP Lawyers is an Australian firm of lawyers and trade marks attorneys based in Melbourne, servicing all States and Territories and numerous overseas based clients. Recognised as one of the top Australian firms for domain names and trade marks work, and as one of the tech sector’s ‘go-to’ firms, our lawyers provide value through practical legal advice infused with deep business experience, and focus on intellectual property, mid-market M&A, investments, capital raising, and business litigation. In 2005 Nick Weston and colleagues formed the firm to serve business and tech clients in a small office in the historic Assembly Hall in Collins Street, Melbourne. The firm has continued to see an impressive client roster over its 15+ year history at the same time as benefitting from Nick’s other business interests that have included a six year engagement as the CEO of an ASX listed company, a six year engagement as a Managing Principal and General Counsel to an international mid-market M&A firm, twelve years as a WIPO Domain Name Panelist, and most recently, engagement as General Counsel of a AUV business. The experience gained from these roles makes the firm uniquely qualified to better serve the needs of our mostly tech company clients, whether they are established brands or emerging and disruptive businesses. We strive to align our services to our clients’ business goals. Doing so has allowed us to attract clients from around the world seeking a trusted advisor best suited to their priorities. With our firm’s focus on brands and M&A, we are able to offer better service and rates than larger firms and more practical advice and a focus on outcomes, because we know what it is like, from first-hand experience, to have skin-in-the-game.
