Omond & Co has been an invaluable legal resource for our company and continues to help us navigate through the various legal issues faced by a small company in a growth phase. Most importantly, Omond & Co have a full understanding of both time pressures and the sensitivity of some of the issues they have worked on for us and always deliver accordingly.

We have chosen Omond and Co as our preferred attorneys for intellectual property matters due to their practical, business oriented approach to providing legal advice.
Kate Thompson
Legal & Corporate Affairs Director
Premium Wine Brands Pty Ltd
Omond & Co are our commercial lawyers, handling all of our contracts globally, any dispute resolution, litigation and legal strategy development.
The great benefit of using Omond is that we have "big firm" talent in an environment that understands the small business.
Barry Rees
Founder & CEO
Wine Preserva
Omond & Co is invaluable to a small, family-owned winery like ours where we don't have in-house legal expertise. They advise us on trademark challenges, and fine-tune things like our distribution agreements and retention of title documents - that way we know our wines belong to us until they've been paid for. When we've struck trouble, Omond & Co has taken prompt, decisive action on our behalf.
James and his team have been quick to respond to our various queries over the past five years. They take initiative where it's needed, alerting us to emerging problems, especially with intellectual property issues involving branding and labelling. It's important to us to be able to rely on advice from people who know our industry intimately. It's also important to us to know that we're paying for expert legal advice, not for a big firm's administrative overheads. We're a niche, quality winery and we like dealing with a law firm that's like us.

We happily recommend James Omond to our wine clients because he provides a pragmatic, level headed approach to the law and also applies his vast experience across all facets of the wine industry to any situation.
Jamie Cook

We have been using Omond & Co for just over two years for all our Australian Market legal requirements and advice.
They are great to work with, prompt, professional and understand all the idiosyncrasies specific to the wine industry.
I would have no hesitation in recommending James and his team to anyone that needs legal assistance specific to the wine industry.

Omond & Co distinguishes itself to me by having an innate knowledge of the working of the wine world - something that other firms don't. This makes for a much easier working relationship between winery and lawyer - smoother transiiton of information without having to explain basic wine knowledge.

Jamsheed Wines
We use Omond & Co for advice in wine related matters across a range of areas – IP (both registration, continuance and protection), advice on labelling compliance, advice on export agreements, supplier compliance/enforcement, Terms of Trading advice, and more.

James is fantastic at what he does. In fact, he sometimes provides the legal equivalent of turning water into wine, which is very handy for an organisation such as ours.
