Whilst trade marks and geographical indicators are often the first two things that most people think of when the subject of wine law comes up in conversation, they are but two of many operational/legal considerations that regularly confront participants in the wine industry, particularly in this time where the Australian wine industry is facing unprecedented challenges on many fronts.

There are many other areas where timely, solid legal advice really counts.
 
THESE INCLUDE:

• purchase and sale agreements - for land and vineyards, for whole businesses, or for trade marks.
• agency and distribution agreements - regional, national and international.
• drafting solid, written terms of trade agreements, and dealing with the disputes that often arise from poorly drafted or verbal ones.
• supply contracts, purchase contracts, bulk winemaking contracts, winemaker contracts, employment contracts.
• licensing - liquor, producer and export.
• WET tax advice.
• intellectual property advice including trade mark registrations and trade mark infringement disputes.
