Commercial Lawyers Melbourne
Sierra Legal's Melbourne office is the home of our firm. Since 2010, we have been advising businesses across Victoria and nationally on mergers and acquisitions, technology law, corporate transactions and privacy and data security. We combine the depth of expertise you would expect from a major firm with the responsiveness and commercial focus of a boutique.
Melbourne Commercial Legal Services
We work with Melbourne and Victorian businesses across the full business lifecycle — from founders and growth companies through to established corporates, investors and acquirers. Our work is particularly focused on mergers and acquisitions, technology and IT law, privacy and data security, and day-to-day corporate advisory work. We aim to keep advice commercial, direct and genuinely useful.
Our Melbourne team advises on:
- Mergers and acquisitions, including sale preparation, due diligence, transaction structuring, negotiation and completion
- Technology and IT law, including software agreements, SaaS contracts, platform terms, licensing and IT outsourcing
- Privacy and data security, including Privacy Act compliance, data handling issues and breach response
- Corporate transactions, including capital raisings and shareholders agreements
- Commercial contract drafting and negotiation
- Senior-led strategic legal advice for growth businesses, founders and management teams
A Melbourne Firm With National Reach
While our roots are in Melbourne, Sierra Legal advises clients across Australia. We have offices in Brisbane and Newcastle and regularly act on transactions and matters with a national or cross-jurisdictional dimension. Whether your business is based in Melbourne or simply has Melbourne-facing legal needs, our team is ready to assist.
We have advised on significant transactions involving Clark Rubber, Bingo Industries, Creative Cubes, TMX and Medibank — bringing the same depth of care and commercial focus to every matter regardless of size.

We advise technology and data-heavy businesses regularly, and some of our team have hands-on experience building legal and operational software internally. We are a boutique, but not a lightweight one. You work directly with experienced practitioners who understand both the commercial objective and the systems behind the business.
