 Allens has officially launched its Allens Accelerate practice, devoted to assisting startups and emerging companies. The Allens Accelerate practice, led by Sydney-based Partner Gavin Smith, will provide a range of legal services to solve the problems faced by startups. These legal services include The A-Suite, a suite of essential legal documents specifically drafted for startups, which is being made available on a free and open access basis to startups. The services also include fixed price legal services designed to help startups get incorporated, customise the A-Suite documents and protect their intellectual property. “We see our Allens Accelerate practice as a strong commitment and investment into the startup community”, Smith said. He continued “The goal is to not only help startups get off the ground, but to build a long-term relationship where we can bring to bear the expertise and contacts we have at our firm during the different growth cycles of a startup”. Smith said that the launch of Allens Accelerate coincided with an increased focus on the potential of startups to drive the Australian economy. |
