What we do.
Outsourced General Counsel
Senior legal support without the overhead of a full-time hire. Contract review, commercial advice, regulatory compliance and strategic legal counsel, embedded in your team on the days you need it.
Company Secretary
Board support, meeting management, minutes, statutory registers, ASIC compliance, and governance frameworks. We keep your board running efficiently and your obligations met.
Compliance & Risk
Compliance frameworks, risk assessments, policy development, investigations and reviews. Built around your actual risk profile, not a generic template.
Board Effectiveness
Constitution drafting and review, delegation frameworks, board charters, committee structures, and director training. Governance that works in practice, not just on paper.
Commercial Legal Advice
Contracts, shareholder agreements, employment matters, IP, dispute resolution and general commercial advisory. Practical, commercially-minded advice from someone who understands business.
Governance Training
Director duties, meeting procedure, governance best practice and compliance obligations. Training designed for your board, not a generic seminar.
Legal / Our approach
Right-sized expertise, not a law firm model.
Agends provides the governance and legal expertise of an experienced in-house counsel without the overhead of a full-time hire or the cost structure of a traditional law firm. We embed ourselves in your organisation, understand your people, and deliver advice that is practical, timely and commercially sensible.
With over 25 years of experience across organisations of all sizes and sectors, we bring breadth of perspective alongside depth of expertise. And where specialist capability is needed, we draw on a curated network of trusted professionals.
