The Month in Review: May
After a busy month at the Merton office, we're ready to kick off the last month of the financial year.
Merton Lawyers In the USA
Merton Lawyer’s long-term vision is to be a catalyst of the technology and investment sector in Australia. To be that catalyst we have been always thinking beyond law. Since early 2020, we started incubating and co-creating an exciting project for not only our clients but the ecosystem at large.
As part of this project, we recently travelled to the US (Palo Alto, San Francisco, New York and LA) to meet and collaborate with the contributors of this fulfilling project. In July 2023, we hope to take this project out of Beta and launch for the benefit of the wider ecosystem.
Some key highlights of the recent US tour include:
Presenting the opportunity of ‘Australia’ to some of the world’s best-emerging growth and venture capital law firms.
Presenting to Australian and US state governments on the research and work completed by Merton Lawyers over the last 2 years.
Connecting and meeting some key US financial institutions including major banks, venture capital, private equity and family offices.
Seeing clients, partners and friends going global.
In the meantime here are some snapshots of the tour.
