For the startup sector, it’s the good news we have been waiting for. After two years of anticipation, on 12 September 2018, the Federal Parliament passed the Corporations Amendment (Crowd-sourced Funding for Proprietary Companies) Bill 2017 (Cth). Crowd-sourced funding (CSF) is a form of funding that allows entrepreneurs to raise funds from a large number of investors.

Bad behaviour is an all-too-common occurrence in the legal profession - but why does it have to be? This behaviour is a by-product of a ‘big boy, big pants’ mentality that a number of practitioners have, and it is not beneficial for the profession. Clients want lawyers who work to achieve the best outcome and are solution-focused, not those who are intent on using difficult tactics to Intimidate, harassment and humiliate the lawyer on the other side.
