Australia-Qualified Lawyer — Review of Distribution & Trademark License Agreements

SMB Legal Counsel, a U.S. law firm, seeks a lawyer admitted to practice in Australia for a LIMITED-SCOPE review of two related agreements for a client entering the Australian market: (1) a distribution agreement with an Australian distributor, and (2) a trademark license agreement (TMLA). This is NOT a full contract review. We need you to confirm whether the specific provisions below are enforceable under Australian law and to flag any choice-of-law / governing-law issues. Both agreements are drafted in English under our firm's templates. PROVISIONS TO CONFIRM AS ENFORCEABLE - Competition and consumer law: compliance with the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (incl. cartel/exclusive-dealing provisions) and the unfair-contract-terms regime; any resale-price-maintenance exposure. - Australian Consumer Law: non-excludable consumer guarantees and how they interact with limitation-of-liability and warranty clauses. - Trademark licensing: authorized-use/quality-control requirements to preserve the marks, and recordal considerations under Australian trade marks law. - Termination, notice, and post-termination obligations. - CHOICE OF LAW / GOVERNING LAW (priority): whether an Australian court will respect our chosen governing law and forum/arbitration clause, and which provisions (e.g., non-excludable consumer guarantees) apply regardless of that choice. - Any mandatory local terms that override the contract's chosen law. DELIVERABLES - Targeted comments/redlines on the specific provisions reviewed (not a full markup), and - A short written note (1-3 pages) covering enforceability of those provisions and the choice-of-law analysis. REQUIREMENTS - Admitted to practice law in Australia (please state your state/territory admission). - Experience with distribution agreements and IP/trademark licensing. - Fluent written English. WHEN YOU APPLY, PLEASE ANSWER 1. In which jurisdiction are you admitted to practice, and what is your registration/admission number? 2. Briefly describe two or three distribution agreements and/or trademark licenses you have reviewed or drafted under Australian law. 3. Are you comfortable advising on the competition and consumer-law aspects of a distribution arrangement? Please give a recent example. 4. Your proposed fee structure (hourly or fixed) and estimated turnaround for both agreements. 5. Confirm you can sign an NDA before receiving documents and have no conflict acting adverse to a counterparty in Australia.
