Hello, g'day, kia ora! I'm CEO of Metis Law Australia and New Zealand. I am a lawyer, entrepreneur, board director and attention-to-detail freak!
For over two decades I have helped domestic and international businesses grow, scale, avoid disputes (win disputes when they happen!) and to exit successfully. I started my career practising in "Big Law" firms - Gilbert+Tobin in Australia, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London and Viet Nam - and in corporate - with Australian Stock Exchange and Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
I have spent the better part of the last decade focusing on working with technology start-ups and scale-ups and business Founders and owners - to help Founders and business owners build impactful businesses.
I have built and sold a number of businesses of my own, so I know what it's like to pour your heart and soul into your business. So, first and foremost, I advocate for Founders and business owners. I am here to help you!
A little secret about me: I am a Tae Kwon Do black belt (Australian / NZ featherweight champion), I find weeding the garden and tidying up using the "KonMari" method exquisitely satisfying and meditative, and I am teaching myself how to play the ukelele.

What clients say
Our team have worked with domestic and international clients. From large, global corporates to high growth start ups. Here's what some of them have to say...
A very determined lawyer who provides legal advice that is appropriate having regard to the commercial context, but also elegant when considered purely from a legal perspective. Her business acumen is outstanding.
LEIF GAMERTSFELDER, EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER
COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA
A knowledgeable and pragmatic lawyer who was focused on achieving outcomes which were workable for everyone involved in negotiations.
MICHAEL DALBY, LEGAL MANAGER
AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE
I have been blown away by My-Linh's attention to detail and professionalism. The details provided by the other party where limited as they where time poor. My-Linh recognised this and altered her approach to get what I needed to complete the transaction. I have and will continue to refer My-Linh and her team.
ADRIAN FADINI, DIRECTOR
TRAINED TO SELL
I find My-Linh refreshingly clear with communication and execution of anything I require. It can be difficult to find a lawyer who isn't a time-watcher, and you can tell My-Linh is focused solely on the outcome for the benefit of her client. It's hard to imagine enjoying working with a Lawyer, but I can honestly say I do in this case.
BOB GREENUP, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
MAXAMISE
It has been great working with My-Linh and her team. Metis Law helped us with our business [contracts]. They made recommendations that we have never thought of before. My-Linh is always up front with cost so there are no surprises when we receive our invoices. I highly recommend her team.
HENRY CHOW, MANAGING DIRECTOR
MOTIONWAVE TECHNOLOGIES
My-Linh was quick to understand the brief and asked clear, insightful questions to inform the structure of the agreements and drive commercial considerations we had not previously considered. Importantly, My-Linh speaks and writes in plain English - not 'legalese' and completed the project well ahead of our projected timelines and produced a clear, concise and commercially effective set of contracts.
MICHAEL FIELD, MANAGING DIRECTOR
MICHAEL FIELD STRATEGIC MARKETING CONSULTANTS
My-Linh did an excellent job on two IPOs which we worked on. Very hard working, great output and fun to work with.
MERYCK COX, PARTNER
ROTHSCHILD
Metis Law provided a great legal service to us, helping us set up Cozitrip and to complete our Seed Round fundraising. My-Linh was very patient and detailed in explaining legal terms and concepts. With My-Linh and Metis Law's professional consultation and project management, we completed the fundraising within a couple of months, which was very satisfactory!
PING WU, FOUNDER
COZITRIP
My-Linh has very deep understanding and extensive experience in tech startups and their operations, and has been a valuable legal partner to our group, playing an essential part right from business registration and drafting shareholder agreements, to dealings with legal matters with clients on daily basis and assisting with our capital raising. I highly recommend My-Linh and the team at Metis Law for their expertise, fast turn around, attention to detail and professionalism.
