GP Business Series: Law and order in your practice

Presenter: Ben Gouldson, CG Law

Intellectual Property Law
Understand how your clinic’s name, logo, and reputation are valuable business assets. Learn how to protect your brand, trademarks, and creative materials including copyright in written paraphernalia — and avoid common ownership mistakes that can cost you time and money. Being aware of the importance of research outputs and of the intellectual property rights attaching to those outputs is also essential.

Privacy Law and Data Breach Obligations
With sensitive patient information at the heart of every medical practice, compliance with the Privacy Act and the Mandatory Data Breach Notification Scheme is more crucial than ever. Ben will guide you through practical steps to ensure your clinic meets its obligations and manages breaches effectively.  Ben will also address likely future reforms based on the EU leading practice in this area of law, including the right to be forgotten and what that might mean for Australian medical practices.

Business Structures and Governance
Every practice - large or small - relies on sound business structures and governance frameworks. Gain clarity on how to choose and maintain the right legal business structure, manage risk, and align decision‑making with long‑term success.
