Biztech Lawyers

What Biztech Lawyers does

Biztech Lawyers is a Sydney-headquartered, founder-led international law firm operating as a single integrated team across Sydney, London, and New York through three separate legal entities (Biztech Lawyers Pty Ltd, Biztech Lawyers UK Ltd, and Biztech Lawyers (US) LLP). The firm advises more than 600 technology startups, scaleups, and unicorns across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States on cross-border matters spanning corporate/M&A, capital raising, commercial contracts, cyber and data privacy, intellectual property, dispute resolution, and financing. Its core practice areas — Corporate, Commercial, Cyber & Data Privacy, IP Protection, Litigation, and Financing — are delivered through six service pages on the firm's website, supported by gated downloadable guides covering flip-ups, data protection, and e-commerce market entry in the UK and EU. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, tailored to client needs across multiple jurisdictions, with a stated "Actionable Intelligence" approach that emphasises advice founders and boards can execute on immediately.

The firm's go-to-market is a content-led, consultative sales motion: legal articles, downloadable guides, a monthly newsletter, and event participation (NY Tech Week, Accelerate AI Summit with Austrade and the Tech Council of Australia) generate top-of-funnel demand from founders, C-suite executives, and in-house legal teams. Marquee transactions include advisory on the $400M acquisition of Quadpay by ASX-listed Zip Co, the Faethm AI acquisition by LSE-listed Pearson PLC, AU-US flip-up and 2026 dual-track exit advice to Perx Health, and ongoing Series A-E capital raises and strategic acquisitions for Rokt from startup through to unicorn status.

Biztech Lawyers is privately held by its two co-founders, Anthony Bekker (Managing Director APAC) and Chris Spillman (Managing Director Americas), supported by partners Li Reilly (US) and Karine Ahton (UK). Headcount is disclosed as 1-10, consistent with a boutique model; the firm does not publicly disclose revenue. All value is delivered through legal advisory services — there is no proprietary technology product, software platform, or API-based offering, and no patents, certifications, or external investors are disclosed.
