Davina’s Story

I am a Mum of One, Passionate Entrepreneur and Lover of Law.

I have a wealth of legal experience not just working as a business lawyer, but also through working in litigation. That means I have a head start in knowing what sort of issues can end up in court, and how to draft agreements so that they best protect you.

The Mumpreneur Lawyer was born out of a frustration with the legal industry. I was annoyed at the way law firms were billing clients, and the reluctance for change and embracing technology. And I was disappointed that Mums had very little option other than to take their kids along to legal appointments with lawyers that spoke to them in another language. Becoming a Mum also changed me; I suddenly wanted to live a life where I would have a consistent presence in my son’s life, and understood why so many other women wanted to do the same.

Embarking on my own journey in setting up a small business has been a learning curve, and now I have more empathy than ever for the challenges faced by small business owners. My business enables me to help Mums in a similar situation setting up businesses, that don’t have any legal knowledge and don’t have their legal position protected. This brings me huge satisfaction and joy.

Now, I can’t wait to hear about you and why you started your business!

What Mums are Saying

The Mumpreneur Lawyer gave me the peace of mind I needed in putting my documents in order. She was thorough and professional while also being sensitive to the issues at hand. As a mother she understood the importance of the topic and explained details of the legal requirements in a way that was easy to understand. The Mumpreneur Lawyer provides a unique high level of professionalism mixed with personal sensitivity.

The Mumpreneur Lawyer represented me in an intellectual property matter and provided me with the right advice and guidance through an unfamiliar process. She is a highly skilled negotiator and was easy to communicate with. The Mumpreneur Lawyer really worked hard to get the best agreement for me and I would not have achieved this result without her. I was very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend her services.

It has been great working with The Mumpreneur Lawyer and such a relief to know we have our very own go-to person for all of our legal requirements. Her legal knowledge and experience has also opened our eyes to many aspects of our business that we had no idea about which has been very helpful in informing our decision making. Thank you!

Fantastic, super helpful and tailored for me. I’d been considering getting legal agreements drawn up for a while, but got put off by scary lawyers, always asking heaps for money and not offering very much in return. However, I have been fantastically happy with the service I have received from The Mumpreneur Lawyer. Everything has been simple to complete, and where I don’t know the answers it has been an easy gentle process to find out what is needed and get the information to send back to complete the agreements. I’m very happy to recommend this service.

The Mumpreneur Lawyer was beyond amazing helping us through a complex and challenging situation. She was fantastic, knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. I would highly recommend her.
