Challenge
Warren faced several challenges as he transitioned from a corporate role to establishing his own consultancy. As a new business owner, Warren needed to ensure that his contracts were mutually beneficial and legally sound, especially when dealing with large, multinational companies. With business growth, Warren had to draft employment contracts for new subcontractors and ensure these agreements were legally compliant. Warren wanted to protect his brand and image through trademarks and required legal assistance to navigate this process.
My first introduction with you guys was the initial setup of an organisational contract for me to deliver work essentially at that point in time by myself. Second to that was I started to bring a couple of people on board.so one is another company and the other one's a sole trader. So I've utilised you guys to help me formulate the contracts from employee perspective. And then the third one was obviously my brand. I wanted to start to protect my brand and my image and I engage you guys to help me out my trademark.
The Lawpath Solution
Warren turned to Lawpath for comprehensive legal support. Lawpath assisted Warren in drafting his initial organisational contracts, ensuring they were robust enough to handle engagements with large corporations. As Warren expanded his team, Lawpath helped him formulate employment contracts, ensuring legal compliance and clarity. Lawpath guided Warren through the trademark process to safeguard his brand identity, which is currently in progress.
I've got the full list of suite there. I can open it up and I can either look at my own or I've got there or I just search the homepage for documents and I can punch in a search field and all of a sudden a big list comes up.... It gave me a wealth of knowledge, it's teaching me to understand business as well and not just provide that one little service of how do I protect my IP. So it's pretty cool.
Impact and Growth
Lawpath's services significantly impacted Warren's business operations. The platform's user-friendly interface allowed Warren to access and create necessary legal documents efficiently. He could search for documents, understand IP space, and utilise workflows that guided him through legal obligations and processes. Warren appreciated the personalised legal advice he received from Lawpath's lawyers, who helped him understand complex legal jargon and provided expert guidance tailored to his business needs. Lawpath's tutorials and resources educated Warren on various business aspects, including IP protection and tax obligations, enhancing his overall business acumen.
The biggest one is the ease of it. So even when you're designing your workflow, the very next step on it is a button there at the end of it, submit lawyer, you know what I mean? It's pretty easy just to go and which I did, and then instantly you get a message back and then you can select times and all that type of thing. But I think for me it was quite personalised as well.
Future Aspirations
Warren aims to continue growing Odyssey Alliance Management Consulting by diversifying into different industries, including health, finance, and manufacturing. His goal is to create and leverage his own content to offer more comprehensive services.

So trying to grow the business, try to branch into different commodities, different manufacturing, different industry, whether it be health finance, heavily covering a lot of the mining industry at the moment because that's 30 years of my background, but the game that I'm in improvement, you can take it doesn't really matter.
