We Can Help You
Hi! I’m Davina, Founder of Mum Lawyer -
Your Strategic Legal Partner.
You poured years into building your business. You designed your logo with love. You wrote the content, created the products, built the know-how that makes your business yours. The last thing you want is to find out someone else owns the rights to it — or that you never actually owned it in the first place.
I specialise in intellectual property and brand protection for business owners. That means your trademarks, your copyright, the licensing of what you've created, and the confidential information that gives you your edge. Whether you're about to launch and want to lock everything in from day one, you've been trading for years without protection, or you've already had an examiner's report land in your inbox that may as well be written in another language — I give you clear, strategic guidance in plain English.
Your intellectual property is one of your most valuable assets. Let's make sure it's actually yours.
Transparent Pricing,
Real Protection
Trademark fees are confusing enough — government filing fees, class fees, examiner responses, renewal costs — without your lawyer's bill being another mystery.
Our fixed-fee structure means you know exactly what you'll pay upfront. What's included, what's not, and what it actually costs. No surprises. No hidden costs. Just transparent pricing so you can budget with confidence.
Consultations That
Fit Your Life
We know your schedule is packed. That's why we offer flexible consultation times – whether it's after the kids are in bed, or during your lunch break.
Can't find a time that works? Just let us know, and we'll make it happen.
Custom Solutions,
Not Templates
Your business is unique, and your IP strategy should be too.
We don't just file what you tell us to file — we map out what you actually need to protect: which marks, which classes, who should own your copyright, what stays confidential, and how it's all set up to grow with you.
Comprehensive protection designed for where your business is going.
Reasons You Need an IP & Trademark Lawyer
We clear it before you commit
We check what's already out there before you commit — before you print labels, build the website, or order packaging.
We pick the right classes - first time
There are 45 trademark classes, and choosing the wrong ones is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. Get it wrong and you're paying to refile, or worse — discovering your registration doesn't actually cover what you sell.
We get the ownership structure right
Should your IP sit with you personally? Your company? A holding entity? The answer matters enormously when you sell the business, bring on investors, or license your brand. We set it up properly from the start.
We handle examiner objections
Got a report from IP Australia and have no idea what to do next? We translate the legal language, build the response, and protect your application.
We make sure you actually own your logo, content and creative work
Here's what catches most business owners out: in Australia, copyright is automatic — but it doesn't automatically belong to you. The designer who made your logo, the developer who built your site, the freelancer who wrote your content? Unless they've signed it over to you in writing, they often still own it. We fix that, so the work you paid for is genuinely yours.
We help you turn your IP into revenue
Once you own it properly, you can license it, franchise it, or sell it. We structure your licensing and brand deals so the value you've built actually stays with you — and we can coordinate international filings so you're protected wherever your customers are.
Who Do We Help?
We work with founders and online business owners who've built something worth protecting — and want their brand name, logo and creative work legally theirs. From trademark searches and registration to securing copyright in what you've created, to protecting the confidential know-how behind your business, we make sure no one else can trade on what you've built.
If you're ready to protect and grow your business, we're here for you.

Real Problems We Solve Every Day
"I've been trading under this name for three years — what if someone trademarks it before I do?"
"I paid a designer for my logo — do I actually own it, or do they?"
"A contractor built my course content. Can I use it however I want, or is that theirs?"
"Someone's copying my designs and posting my content as their own. What can I actually do?"
"I tried to register myself, got an examiner's report back, and now I'm completely stuck."
"There are 45 classes — how am I supposed to know which ones I actually need?"
"I want to license my brand to someone else — how do I do that without losing control of it?"
"I'm about to share my process with a supplier. How do I keep it confidential?"
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Most business owners feel completely overwhelmed by protecting what they've built — and rightly so.
The system is technical, the timeframes are long, and one missed detail can mean starting over. Here's the thing: you don't have to figure this out alone.
We translate the whole process into clear, strategic protection for your business. No confusing jargon, no scattergun applications, no second-guessing whether you're actually covered. Just comprehensive IP protection — tailored to your business, set up to grow with you, and built to hold up when it matters.
Stop losing sleep over what you've built. Start owning it properly.
Protecting Your IP is Where We Start — But We Don't Stop There
Most of our clients come to us to protect their brand and IP — and stay for everything else.
Because once your IP is locked down, the next questions usually aren't far behind. Are my client contracts actually doing their job? Is the agreement I signed three years ago still protecting me? Should I have a licensing agreement before I let someone use my logo? Are my website terms keeping up with what I actually sell now?
We draft and review contracts for small businesses every day. Same plain English. Same fixed-fee pricing. Same customised approach.
Copyright & Ownership — Making sure the logo, website, content and creative work you paid for is legally yours — properly assigned, properly documented. And if someone copies it, we'll help you understand your options and what to do next.
Confidential Information & Know-How — Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements that protect your processes, client lists and trade secrets when you work with contractors, suppliers and staff.
What We Offer
Strategic Filing — The right marks, the right classes, the right descriptors, the right ownership structure. First time.
Examiner Response — A report from IP Australia isn't the end. We respond strategically and protect your application.
International Protection — Coordinated filings for the markets where your customers actually are.
Licensing and Commercialisation — Once you own your IP, you can monetise it. We structure the agreements so the value stays with you.
The bottom line: We handle the IP strategy so you can focus on what built the brand in the first place — your customers, your products, your vision.
Isn't it time your brand was actually yours?
