What we advise on

Product Counsel

From idea to launch

We work alongside your product, marketing and legal teams.

  • New products, features, pricing and fees
  • Product terms and conditions, PDS and TMD
  • Customer journeys and onboarding flows
  • Advertising, website copy and customer communications
  • Licensing and regulatory perimeter questions

Privacy Counsel

Before launch and beyond

We advise on privacy from the design stage, and as your use of data grows and changes.

  • Privacy policies and collection notices
  • Privacy impact assessments for new features, customer segments or markets
  • Data processing agreements with vendors and AI providers
  • Consent, direct marketing and individual rights requests
  • Data breach response and OAIC notification

For in-house legal teams

Senior legal support for general counsel

We take the recurring work that is too routine for your panel firm and too important to hand to a generalist, so your team can focus on what only it can do.

From the founder

Trust is the currency every product trades on. Every feature that touches data, money or attention carries risk. I help founders and legal teams get it right.

Can you help with a consumer or vendor dispute?

Yes. We help you understand where you stand, then work through the options together: defend, bring in specialist litigation counsel, or resolve.

Do you work with other professionals?

Yes. Where a matter needs specialist input, we bring in AML, GRC and cybersecurity advisers, or a specialist law firm.

How is pricing structured?

Pricing is by monthly capacity bank, fixed project fee or on-call engagement. We discuss which model suits you on an introduction call, then provide an engagement letter. You can also email us at info@lawspoke.com.
