Lawyer Up (Without Freaking Out): What Every Aussie SME Needs to Know (and Might Be Ignoring)

05 Nov 2025
Theatre 3: Sponsored by Acceler8

Running a small or medium-sized business in Australia is hard enough without getting tangled in legal red tape — or worse, missing something critical altogether. In this engaging and fast-paced seminar, lawyer Farrah Motley will demystify key areas of law that affect every SME: intellectual property, contracts, and employment. Delivered with humour, plain English, and plenty of real-world examples, this session will equip business owners with practical knowledge to help avoid costly mistakes and spot legal issues before they become legal disasters.

Learn why registering your IP early matters, what can go wrong with handshake deals, how to avoid accidental sham contracting, and why a termination letter via Slack might not cut it. This is legal advice with a twist — entertaining, memorable, and genuinely useful. Whether you’re launching, growing, or simply trying to stay out of trouble, this session will leave you legally sharper (and probably a little more paranoid — in a good way).
