Drawing on more than 13 years of experience, a commercial lawyer has launched a new boutique practice designed to help founders navigate complex business decisions.
Troy Maloney has launched a boutique practice focused on providing founders and privately held businesses with tailored advice across key commercial, corporate, and intellectual property matters.
Camber Law & Advisory is based on the Gold Coast and also has a presence in Brisbane.
Before launching his own firm, Maloney spent five years as a consultant at boutique property, commercial, and corporate advisory firm DBN Lennox.
Over the course of his 13-year career, he has advised founders and business owners across Queensland and the east coast on a diverse range of transactions and commercial matters.
His experience spans business sales, shareholder arrangements, governance issues, intellectual property protection, and private equity transactions.
Reflecting on the new venture, Maloney said the practice was built around his vision of providing founders and business owners with tailored commercial advice and direct support across every stage of a matter.
“I started Camber Law & Advisory because I wanted to give founders and owners that kind of advice properly, not as an add-on to a bigger practice, but as the actual focus,” he said.
“Being small and selective by design means I can stay directly involved in every matter from start to finish, and see how a contract issue, a governance gap or a trademark position all connect to the same commercial outcome.”
The firm will act for businesses across Australia’s east coast, with a particular focus on Queensland-based founders and owners operating in sectors including technology, manufacturing, agriculture, and hospitality.
For Maloney, the launch reflects a broader shift in how founders and business owners are seeking legal support – moving beyond isolated advice to advisers who understand the wider commercial context behind every decision.
“Founders and business owners aren’t looking for someone to just spot legal issues,” he said.
“They’re looking for someone who understands that a shareholder exit, a capital raise or a trademark filing doesn’t happen in isolation.
“It sits alongside everything else going on in their business, and often in their personal life too, because for a founder those two things are rarely separate.”
