Strategic Legal Matchmaking Built on Real-World Experience
At Bane Legal Services, we take the guesswork out of finding the right lawyer for your business.
Founded by Barry Money, Bane Legal Services was created to fill a growing gap in the Australian legal services market — helping business owners and executives access tailored legal support without wasting time, energy, or money on trial and error.
Too often, choosing a lawyer feels like a blind date: you're expected to explain a complex business issue to someone who may not understand your industry or your commercial goals. That’s where we come in.
We’re not a law firm, and we don’t provide legal advice. We sit in the middle — where deep commercial experience meets real legal insight. We know what it's like to be the client, and we understand how lawyers think. That makes us uniquely qualified to match business owners with the most suitable legal minds in Australia.
Why Bane Legal Services Exists
Barry Money has spent decades at the intersection of law, strategy, and business leadership — from family-owned enterprises and franchising networks to peak bodies and corporate turnarounds. He’s lived the pressure of big decisions, and he knows the value of having the right lawyer on your side.
That’s why Bane Legal Services works with a handpicked panel of:
-
Commercial and franchising lawyers
-
Employment and workplace relations experts
-
M&A and restructuring specialists
-
Regulatory and compliance lawyers
-
Leasing, IP, and contract advisors
We listen to your issue, assess the legal skillset required, and refer you to a lawyer who is equipped to help — someone with the right knowledge, attitude, and commercial awareness.
More Than a Referral — A Strategic Match
We’re not just middlemen — we’re strategic partners.
At Bane Legal Services, our job is to:
-
Understand the nature of your business and the nuance of your challenge
-
Identify the legal discipline(s) needed to solve the problem
-
Recommend the best lawyer or firm based on merit, experience, and fit
-
Stay involved (when needed) to ensure alignment and outcomes
We help our clients avoid common traps: over-lawyering, under-resourcing, miscommunication, and wasted fees.

Meet Barry Money
Founder of Bane Legal Services
Australia’s Strategic Legal Matchmaker for Business
Barry Money founded Bane Legal Services with a clear mission: to take the uncertainty out of finding the right legal support for business owners facing complex commercial challenges. Drawing on a rare blend of business strategy, commercial acumen, and real-world legal insight, Barry created a service that fills a crucial gap in the market — a trusted and commercially-savvy legal referral solution.
Having sat on both sides of the table — as a client briefing lawyers and as a leader navigating regulatory and contractual minefields — Barry understands what business owners really need: practical, strategic legal support from professionals who get business, not just black-letter law.
With decades of experience in franchising, transformation, governance, and strategic growth, Barry has worked with startups, family businesses, corporates, and industry peak bodies. He is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, holds an MBA in Entrepreneurship, and is known for his ability to decode complex challenges, connect the right people, and deliver solutions that create momentum.
At the heart of Bane Legal Services is Barry’s belief that great legal outcomes begin with strategy — and that finding the right lawyer shouldn’t be a gamble.
Fluent in several languages and having worked globally, Barry brings a worldly perspective, a sharp commercial lens, and a strong ethical foundation to everything he does. His approach is thoughtful, responsive, and always focussed on helping clients move forward with confidence.
Real World Experience
Strategic Insight Grounded in Real-World Business Experience
At Bane Legal Services, we bring more than just legal matchmaking — we offer strategic clarity grounded in decades of practical, commercial experience.
Many lawyers are excellent at interpreting the law. Fewer understand the operational complexity, commercial nuance, and strategic pressures that business owners face daily. That’s where we bridge the gap.
We’ve navigated legal challenges from the client side — across multiple sectors, industries, and legal disciplines. From franchising and employment law to regulatory compliance, property-related law matters and high-stakes negotiations, we’ve lived the realities that businesses face when the law intersects with growth, risk, or change.
Helping Clients Move Beyond Legal Bottlenecks
When legal matters stall, it’s often not due to the law itself — but a misalignment between legal process and business goals. We work alongside business owners and their legal teams to:
-
Shape the legal brief with greater strategic clarity
-
Prioritise commercial outcomes
-
Support decision-making with real-world context
-
Reduce wasted legal spend and avoid going in circles
This isn’t legal advice — it’s strategic guidance with commercial substance.
Support for Lawyers and Legal Teams
We’re also called upon by lawyers and law firms to bring strategic clarity to their own clients' matters. Our insight helps them frame advice, understand the client’s operational priorities, and deliver more meaningful legal outcomes.
We act as a sounding board, commercial interpreter, and strategic resource — allowing legal teams to deliver with precision, confidence, and relevance.
Our Value is in the Alignment
The result? Fewer delays, more focussed legal spend, and better alignment between legal work and business success.
If you're a business owner needing help navigating a legal challenge — or a lawyer seeking to strengthen the strategic foundation of your client's matter — we’re ready to support you with commercial clarity and real-world insight.
