If you have a question not listed here, contact us and ask! We’re always happy to help, or point you in the right direction if we can’t.
We are passionate about the life sciences sector and care a lot about helping innovative clients to achieve their strategic goals. We provide clear, commercial advice, with a focus on fair and reasonable risk and benefit allocation. This means our clients can 'get on with business' rather than spending months in costly, protracted and positional negotiations.
We help innovative clients with general commercial law, consumer and privacy law, intellectual property and contract review, with a particular focus on general business contracting, R&D agreements (MTAs, CDAs, CRADAs etc), IP and IT advice and contracting and IP commercialisation (licences, assignments, IIAs etc).

To answer this one, we're quoting Shakespeare aka: "What's in a Name?"! The answer is ... everything!
Hirsch Legal was established by Gabrielle Hirsch in 2023 as a boutique law firm channeling her passion for biotechnology and IP law and desire to apply her skills, expertise and dynamic approach to help support innovation businesses to flourish.
The new firm needed a name that was authentic to this vision and persona. Welcome, Hirsch Legal!
Sure do! We love partnering with our clients to provide customised solutions. We offer specialised staff induction, training workshops, mentoring and developing new guides and templates. We would be happy to discuss ways we can help your business and legal team.
Our specialty is working with innovative, creative and entrepreneurial clients, including researchers, clinicians, founders, small business owners, research institutes, universities, spin outs, start ups, R&D and technology focused SMEs.
That said, intellectual property is a key asset to any business, and we work with a range of different clients (from solo-preneurs to large organisations) and across a variety of sectors.
As former in-house lawyers, we are happy to work on discrete matters, and alongside your internal and external advisors and stakeholders. Our focus is on achieving win-win outcomes and we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach.
Get in touch! We offer a free no-obligation introductory call to learn more about your business, how we can work together and help land on a pathway forward.
At Hirsch Legal, we understand each business is unique and provide tailored solutions to meet your business needs.
In addition to time costed arrangements, we offer the following flexible arrangements:-
Whether you have a growing company, a gap in staffing due to a staff departure or absence, special project or sudden influx of work, we work alongside your business and in-house teams to seamlessly manage short or long term resourcing shortfalls and workflow surges.
We can help with that too! As former in-house lawyers, we understand the challenges of managing a growing (and sometimes unpredictable) legal workload with limited resources. Your business might not be at a point where a full-time in-house lawyer makes financial sense, and yet the costs of routinely using a full-service or specialised law firm are prohibitive.
At Hirsch Legal, we offer a solution via cost-effective, practical legal support for the day-to-day legal operations of your business. By providing legal services via retainer or on a part-time outsourced basis, we offer greater flexibility and substantially cheaper solutions than a full-service law firm. We can also help with on-boarding new legal staff or contract managers - providing tools and training to help ensure your staff and business are primed for success.
If you’re interested in regular 'on demand' call and email advisory, we also offer a legal retainer service providing ongoing legal advice and support for a fixed monthly fee.
We work closely with our clients when working together, but if you have a query or need to let us know something you can always phone directly on +61 (0)421 324 535 or email us at [email protected]
We'd be happy to provide more information on our services, including a capability statement. To request more information on our services, or a proposal for how we can support your business, please contact us by phone or email.
As a virtual law firm located in Melbourne's CBD, we offer most of our services online. However, we are happy to arrange attendances at our client's premises and/or meeting spaces as required.
Our initial consultation is provided at no charge.
