About Connor

I'm a commercial lawyer at Lawpath, working with small and growing businesses on the legal matters that actually move the needle - contracts, business structures, employment, and commercial transactions.

My background is in financial services and funds management, where I spent several years advising on regulatory and legal frameworks for some of Australia's leading fund managers and institutional investors. That experience gave me a strong foundation in complex legal structures, governance, and compliance - and while my focus is now on small business, I bring particular depth in areas that many commercial lawyers don't often work across: discretionary and unit trusts, managed investment schemes, fund establishment and governance, capital raising structures, AFSL licensing, investor agreements, and regulatory compliance under the Corporations Act and related frameworks.

At Lawpath, I help founders and operators access practical, high-quality legal advice without the cost and friction of a traditional law firm. Whether you're setting up a company, reviewing a commercial agreement, or navigating a tricky employment situation, I focus on giving you clear advice you can actually act on.
