Working through platforms?

Tech and legal solutions for platform-based business. We design and deploy the systems your platform needs to grow — contracts, compliance, and the quiet infrastructure that sets professional operators apart.

Tech and legals for business
on digital platforms.

Platforms give you reach and revenue tracking, but they don't give you everything a real business needs. Staff, sponsors, contractors, content licensing, payment rails — that's where we come in.

Services to help you grow

Platforms don't ship with employment contracts, marketing agreements or creator onboarding flows. We design and deploy the systems that let you scale past the tools your platform gives you.

Distributed operations support

Our practice model mirrors a platform-based business. We deliver legal and technology support wherever you operate, and we service roaming workforces through the same digital channels your team already uses.

Front-line counsel, on a predictable budget.

Platform businesses move fast. OnDemand puts a lawyer at the front line on a predictable subscription — executives get cost certainty, operators get advice the moment they need it. If you're finding that your organisation requires regular legal help, you can save thousands by averaging out your spend with a subscription.

Platform-native legal infrastructure.

We bring professional legal firepower to the areas that matter most for organisations working across digital platforms.

Employment

Worker classification under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) turns on how the relationship actually works, not what the agreement calls it. We map your engagement model, advise on the employee-like worker regime and design contractor frameworks that withstand regulatory scrutiny.

IP and licensing

Content used across channels, repurposed by brands and distributed across territories needs licensing terms that match actual use. We draft creator agreements, review platform terms for unfavourable IP assignments and structure arrangements that let you commercialise work without signing rights away.

Data and privacy

Platforms accumulate personal information quickly, and Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) obligations attach from collection. Cross-border flows to cloud infrastructure or brand partners add further requirements. We review your data practices, draft privacy notices and advise on notifiable data breach obligations.

Software and integrations

Payment processors, CRMs, creator dashboards and analytics tools each carry contract and data risk. We advise on SaaS agreements and API terms, negotiate exit and portability provisions and build the integration documentation your team needs to operate without gaps in coverage.

Help beyond the platform.

The legal needs of a platform business extend well past the four pillars covered above. These are the other areas where Artificer regularly supports operators in the social and gig economy.
