It is that investment in understanding the why of the transaction that gives us the edge in implementing the how of the solution.
For our clients, time is money and results are everything.
For us, service, excellence and rapid response is our natural way of being.
Feinauer is the preferred legal supplier for some of Australia’s and the world’s most dynamic people in business.
Our global position makes us accessible to our international clients during their business hours giving us a distinct advantage over Sydney & Melbourne law firms.
Quite literally, while others sleep we get the job done.
We share our clients’ perspective that the global market is a place of vibrancy and opportunity.
We facilitate and cultivate those opportunities for our clients and those they deal with.
As people people, we reject voicemail and other means of disconnecting our clients from us. We make sure that we are physically familiar with the places where our clients do business.
We care for our staff and everything around us.
Feinauer’s lawyers work in an industry leading working environment and are encouraged to lead healthy, balanced lives. This ensures that Feinauer offers an optimum long term environment both for its staff and its clients.
Being “green” to us is not an act to be put on but is part of life as it is evolving. Our recycling and waste management programs, together with other environmental initiatives, are part of Feinauer working towards a cleaner and more sustainable tomorrow.
At Feinauer, connecting with the community and environment is not an advertising gimmick. We support our community because we like being involved, not because we want to see our name up in bright lights.
Our clients can’t afford to get it wrong. We help them get it right.
We advise a diverse range of commercial clients from large international manufacturers to small and medium enterprises, navigating the field from price fixing and third line forcing to unconscionable and misleading conduct.
Feinauer can create compliance programs and help clients acclimatise to the Australian legal framework. With our lateral solution based thinking and an “eyes wide open” approach, we provide practical levels of assistance to navigate the pitfalls.
We understand athletes and the sacrifices they make. We also appreciate the vital importance of sports in the community and its social amenity.
We can provide tailored advice to athletes at all levels and create and provide ongoing assistance to the sporting bodies that govern those athletes.
We have advised clients from those involved in international profile sporting events right through to local sporting bodies and volunteers who provide the back bone of many sporting activities.
Our expertise ranges from formation of sporting associations to insurance and liability issues and issues relating to the rules and constitutions of sporting bodies.

Our lawyers have also represented a number of local authorities in Western Australia and have experience in advising on matters as diverse as carpark building leases to airport contracts.
With a commercial way of doing things, we can help you cut through the red tape. We deal with issues involving local governments efficiently and are ready to meet with officers face to face to get the job done.
We make a point of forming ‘in person’ relations with our clients on a worldwide basis by actually being where our clients do business.
In the process, we have become a leading commercial and international law firm providing legal solutions in intricate and complex multi-jurisdictional legal work.
The diverse national and international legal qualifications and admissions of our professionals, and our national and international associate network, enable us to represent clients in legal matters globally.
Our on the ground experience can value add by both avoiding legal traps and ensuring that our clients avail themselves of legal opportunities that may not be open to them in their country of origin.
With our extensive experience in trademarks registration, intellectual property audits and drafting of a range of sophisticated intellectual property agreements, Feinauer can help you protect those rights.
Feinauer is no stranger to representing clients in the WIPO in domain disputes and traversing complex issues on intricate intellectual property law matters.
We have assisted clients in the worldwide protection of their intangible rights and have crafted systems for managing and protecting a host of intellectual property rights for a diverse range of clients across the globe.
Whilst as transactional lawyers we apply ourselves to providing tailored IP protection mechanisms, our litigation skills can be equally effectively applied in disputes both in Australia and beyond.
We have built a solid body of experience in a diverse range of rapidly evolving information technology based matters, from software and hardware agreements to providing advice on internet protocol television, and from internet gaming to complex breach of confidence cases.
We at Feinauer are excited by the evolutions in technology and are committed to continuing to be relevant and proactive service providers to the broad client base we service in this area.
Our efficiency in delivering professional services creates an environment that adds value to the client’s existing relationships with consultants in the industry.
At the same time, the accessibility of our knowledge base and the structured approach we take to creating franchises can also assist clients who chose to venture into franchising with the core alliance of a good accountant and us as their lawyer.
With licenses often forming the basis of the commercial transaction, license compliance issues can be critical. Feinauer can assist you to ask the right questions to make sure you get what you need.

From the creation of corporate vehicles and foreign registered bodies, we bring the benefit of our experience.
We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships and have supported our clients through the highs and lows of their business activities in areas such as corporate restructures and mergers and acquisitions.
We understand the commerce of a transaction. We know that our contracts must fit that transaction and provide assistance for the life of the commercial relationship between the parties, under all conditions.
That knowledge allows us to prepare a tailored product in the quickest possible turnaround time, without sacrificing the quality of the document we draft and the transaction we contribute to.
We carefully balance our clients’ need to freely engage in commerce and transact whilst potentially requiring the maximum degree of protection within a deal.
Our documents are drafted in plain English in keeping with our philosophy that what we know must be made readily accessible to our clients.
Our skills in international transactions have seen us participate in significant commercial transactions relating to some of the best known names in business.
We know that sometimes our clients’ commercial interests go beyond simplistic notions of being “right” at all costs.
