While legal advice is necessary for companies, it is expensive, chalking up bills that amount to the hundreds or thousands. To tackle this, a new service called LawPath has been started in Australia that aims to fill in the market gap in low-cost legal services for startups and SMEs.
Created by Pollenizer, an Australia and Singapore-based startup incubator, LawPath is a service where users pay AUD 40-50 a month to throw three legal questions at lawyers.
Depending on the price plan, users will receive answers either through phone consultation or via email. Read more

“I’ve learnt that Focus makes everything easier, better, stronger. You can’t learn by thinking. Team are critical. Success is more about character than ideas.” ~ Mick Liubinskas

Mick has served in head marketing roles at Kazaa, Zapr and Tangler. He now runs Australia-headquartered Pollenizer, the business incubator he co-founded with former-Kazaa colleague Phil Morle, which has recently opened an office in Singapore.
Mick will speak on: Focus or Fail – Why startups fail, why you should be focused, some tips and tools on how to get focused and stay that way.
Come by and pick his brain.
