HWL Ebsworth welcomes one of Australia’s leading venture capital partners

06 November 2024

HWL Ebsworth Lawyers is pleased to announce that Jason Maletic will be joining the firm’s Corporate & Commercial team as a partner in our Sydney office and head of HWL Ebsworth Lawyers’ Venture Capital practice.

Jason joins from Ashurst where he has been the co-head of the Venture Capital and High Growth team in Australia. Jason is considered one of the leading venture capital lawyers in the country, specialising in advising strategic venture capital investors and early stage companies through to exit.

Jason acts for venture capital funds, early stage issuers, consortiums, high net worth investors, multi-national corporations, banks and financial services companies. He has experience in all aspects of the investment process from due diligence, term sheet negotiation, seed funding, security terms for preference shares, warrants, convertible notes, employee share plans and eventually through to exit (trade sales, dual tracks and IPOs).

Jason’s arrival further reinforces our strong, national Corporate & Commercial offering, and I’m confident that his wealth of experience in the Venture Capital sector will add strategic value to our clients” said Russell Mailler, Chief Executive Partner.
