Biztech Lawyers

Biztech Lawyers is a global technology law firm founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2018 by Anthony Bekker. The firm specialises in providing tailored legal solutions to innovators, entrepreneurs, and technology-focused businesses, guiding them through the complexities of the legal landscape to achieve their ambitious goals. With a mission to combat inertia and reveal opportunities within contracts and the law, Biztech Lawyers empowers clients to swiftly meet their objectives, both locally and on an international stage. They cater to a diverse clientele ranging from early-stage startups and rapidly scaling ventures to established corporations, private equity firms, fund managers, and angel and venture capital investors.

Anthony Bekker's vision for Biztech Lawyers was significantly shaped by his five-year tenure as General Counsel and Head of Operations at tech unicorn Rokt, where he was instrumental in its 10x growth and global market expansion. This hands-on experience in scaling a technology business underpins the firm's unique approach, combining deep legal expertise with practical operational insights. The firm differentiates itself through its agile team of approximately 20 private practice lawyers and former general counsel, operating across offices in Australia, the US, and the UK, with team members spanning five countries and four continents. This global presence allows Biztech Lawyers to offer comprehensive, cross-border legal support for clients navigating international markets and complex transactions.

What sets Biztech Lawyers apart is their commitment to transparent, reasonable rates and a profound understanding of the startup environment. They are not merely a legal service provider but act as strategic partners, ensuring legal functions add tangible value rather than acting as a cost centre. The firm embraces a remote-first work culture, offering flexibility that attracts and retains exceptional talent. Anthony Bekker's leadership has been recognised with him being named 'Commercial Partner of the Year' at the 2023 Australian Partner of the Year Awards, highlighting the firm's dedication to excellence and innovative legal practice in the technology sector.
