Our Client Feedback

"TechComm Legal has been providing Affirm Software with sound, prudent legal advice for almost 10 years on areas such as: the terms and conditions associated with the use of our Software as a Service product, Onboard Express; Digital agreements; Company internal policies to ensure we abide by the Privacy Act; Partnership agreements and client contracts.  Kent is highly conversant with ICT terminologies and the associated contractual requirements and is able to convey legal terminology in a simplistic manner.  Kent has been a great support to our business over the years and is a great person to deal with due to his friendly and professional manner."
Bryan Ericson, CEO, Affirm Software Group
As one of Australia’s largest product development consultancies, Cobalt has very specific needs for the commercial terms we in turn have with our clients, especially within the often sensitive areas of IP.  TechComm Legal overhauled our standard business terms making them significantly clearer and robust.  Kent’s inherent understanding of IP and professional practice meant the process was thorough, efficient and effective."
Steve Martinuzzo, Managing Director, cobaltdesign.co
"I have engaged TechComm Legal to create T&C's and a Privacy Policy for our website.  I am extremely happy with the professional attitude, communication and timeliness of the service.  They have also helped us with consulting services.   I would highly recommend TechComm Legal to anyone."
