Who Are We

Founded in 2018, EAGLEGATE is a commercial and technology law firm trusted for clear thinking in complex matters. We combine legal depth with practical industry experience to help clients act with confidence.

Founded to bridge law and technology, EAGLEGATE advises corporates, innovators and executives across Australia. Our work spans transactions, IP, software and data, privacy and media, and high‑stakes disputes.

We value clarity, precision and pace. Matters are partner‑led with focused teams, aligned to business outcomes and risk appetite. When the situation demands speed, we move quickly — without sacrificing defensibility.

The firm is led by Principal Nicole Murdoch. Our lawyers bring backgrounds in IT, engineering, finance and science, enabling us to translate between technical detail and legal strategy.

Big-Firm Experience. Boutique Agility.

EAGLEGATE offers clients a top-tier commercial and technology law practice with the personal approach of a boutique firm. Our technical depth and legal experience rival the largest firms in Australia, while our agility allows us to deliver sharper, faster results.

Our lawyers have interdisciplinary backgrounds in engineering, IT, finance, and toxicology – bringing insight that extends beyond the law itself. This blend of legal experience and industry knowledge enables us to navigate complex matters, protect innovation, and manage high-stakes disputes with strategic clarity.

EAGLEGATE acts across corporate transactions, intellectual property strategy and commercialisation, shareholder disputes, fraud, cyber and information security, data breach response, privacy breaches and corporate and IP litigation.

EAGLEGATE was founded by Nicole Murdoch, a technology, data and IP lawyer with an engineering background and over a decade of industry experience before entering law. Her leadership ensures every matter is approached with both legal and technical depth — a difference clients notice in the speed, accuracy and strategy of their outcomes.
