In today’s episode, we’re sitting with Marianne Marchesi, the Founder and Managing Principal of Legalite, an award-winning law firm that’s been shaking up one of the oldest, most rigid industries in Australia. Her clients include some of the country’s most loved retail brands, and she’s built a reputation for making legal advice practical, human, and surprisingly jargon-free.

Today we’re discussing:

• The fast way to build legal agility into your business model from day one
• Structuring for growth and asset protection (company, trust, unit trust)
• IP basics retailers actually need: trademarks, copyright, designs
• AI in content and images: what you do and don’t own, and how app T&Cs can bite
• Privacy and Spam Act essentials for email and SMS lists
• Writing T&Cs and privacy policies that match what you actually do
• Returns done right: change‑of‑mind vs faulty goods obligations
• Influencer campaigns: disclosure, guidelines and who’s liable if they over‑promise
• Promotions and pricing: genuine discounts, time limits and “while stocks last”
• Working with overseas suppliers and dropship partners: protections to bake in
