About

Wizard Works does the work a company runs on: operations, legal, technology and software, administration, finance and economics, strategy, executive leadership, sales and marketing, R&D, grant funding and capital raising.

One senior operator and an agent system built over two years. Every finding is checked by an adversarial verifier before it reaches you, the work is priced by what is delivered rather than by the hour, and everything made is yours.

The Record

The first business was twenty-five years ago. Since then: investment banking, hedge funds and private equity, executive management and company ownership, and telecoms and software since 2012. Across several countries, and currently with companies in Australia and the United Kingdom, including as interim managing director of a Perth community business.

Over USD 250m raised for other businesses, and several built from nothing, including the ones that did not work, which is where most of the useful knowledge came from. One of them was distributed ledger technology lead in a thirteen-member European Commission Horizon 2020 telecoms research consortium alongside Telefonica and IBM.

Law-trained, with an LL.B and the Legal Practice Course (2006). The legal work is contracts, terms, IP, consumer law, regulatory perimeter and corporate records. It is not done as a solicitor, and no reserved legal activity is offered.

How the Work Gets Done

Over the last two years the practice has been rebuilt around an agent system: research agents that work a question in parallel, a scored audit engine that applies the same checks to every company, and adversarial verifiers whose only job is to refute what the others found. Nothing reaches a client until it has survived that. It is why one senior operator can cover eleven disciplines without the work thinning out.

A recent audit of a software company shows the shape. It covered IP and patent deadlines first, then consumer-law exposure, buyer economics and licence pricing, the market and competitors, supplier prequalification, grants and the R&D Tax Incentive, and security and the code, with marketing last. Its founder spent over two hours reading it.

The fee is set by the output, never by the hour, and everything made, from the agreements to the code to the manual that explains them, sits in the client's name from the first day.
