Biztech Lawyers assists technology & startup businesses with all their commercial legal needs (specialising in complex transactional, data, privacy, corporate and commercial), and has secured an impressive calibre of clients including a number of leading Australian and multinational businesses.
Anthony Bekker, MD of Biztech Lawyers, has a unique perspective on the legal and operational edge that progressive global companies need to take to be successful. Anthony’s background as General Counsel and Head of Operations at Rokt, one of Australia’s fastest growing tech companies, helped expand that business from Sydney to eight international markets. This experience underscores why clients trust Biztech Lawyers to assist them with their own global growth aspirations.
“We live and breathe high-growth tech start-ups. We get them. We know the challenges they are facing – because we’ve been there and sat in their seat. We’re with them every step of the way. Expanding into the Melbourne market is a key step in servicing our growing tech-centric clientele. ” - Anthony Bekker
Yehuda Orelowitz, Special Counsel, will head the Melbourne offering. He has acted as an “external GC” to a range of technology-focused businesses and advised spin-out and startup companies on the full breadth of transactional and legal matters, contracts & all other functions generally served by an in-house legal counsel. Yehuda also has a strong understanding of the commercialisation lifecycle having worked with universities and IP focused venture funds on research related projects as well as helping private enterprises to commercialise research based IP.
On the opening of the office, Anthony Bekker said:
“We are very excited to launch directly into the Melbourne market. While Zoom calls are great – our Clients come to understand and expect that we’re on their team. And sometimes that requires punching through an idea in an all-hands whiteboard session, or other times simply lending an ear in a confidential coffee chat. And the coffee in Melbourne is very good, so why not?” - Anthony Bekker
On future plans for Biztech Lawyers, Anthony Bekker said:
“We are in the early phase of an aggressive international growth strategy. Our ambition is to become the preeminent technology counsel for global startup businesses – connecting directly with them in all of the key markets in which they cluster – including the US, Singapore, UK. If your law firm can’t scale itself internationally, why would you trust them to help scale your business internationally? We will offer a joined-up offering across markets - perfect for businesses who need to be ‘global from day one’. More news to come on that, shortly.” - Anthony Bekker
