"Optim Legal has slashed the cost of top-tier legal work by up to 40% by running a tech-enabled efficient operation without the trappings of traditional firms. In addition, Optim Legal offers clean tech companies a 10% discount as part of its commitment to sustainable business," said Hyland.
With its established practices in Climate Change, Corporate, Property, Energy Infrastructure, and Environmental Planning, Optim Legal is able to offer a complete service to clean tech firms wanting one legal company alongside them as they grow, from private equity-raising through to infrastructure projects.
The firm supports clean tech businesses with a comprehensive range of legal services that include IP commercialization, private equity, capital-raising, company structuring, joint ventures, licensing deals, supply / service agreements, development approval (land & environment), environmental regulations, property transactions, electricity regulation, commercialisation of carbon trading projects, and infrastructure projects
"All of our systems and structures are designed with one goal in mind - to provide an environment where clients and lawyers foster excellent relationships and thrive," said Co-Founder Nick James, formerly of Freehills and Allens.
This emphasis on values is reflected in a number of areas. For example, Optim Legal keeps its costs as low as possible and passes these savings on to clients. It allows its clients the ability to lower or raise their fees by 20% each month depending on their satisfaction (a program which has so far led to many more 'uplifts' than minuses). It also offers clean tech companies a 10% discount and encourages lawyers to work for client companies whose values they share.
"This is an exciting time for us, we have a highly credentialled team on board and are all very much looking forward to this next phase of controlled and sustained expansion supporting clean tech firms," said James. "This is a critical period in the evolution of the clean tech industry in Australia, everything that can be done to support the sector is to be encouraged. Clean technology firms are not only conducting a business they are helping our society change in response to serious national and global challenges. They deserve the best possible support."
