Get in touch with Ali

Ali has built a practice around a simple idea: that high-quality IP advice should be as accessible to a scaling technology company as it is to a large corporate.

Recognised across the New Zealand technology sector for his work with some of the country’s most innovative startups, he works closely with high-growth companies, universities, SMEs and venture capital firms across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.  With a background in electrical engineering, Ali brings strong technical capability across electrical, software, and mechanical technologies.

He integrates directly into client teams, often functioning as an embedded in-house IP resource, supporting invention capture, IP budgeting and forecasting, investor-ready documentation, and commercialization. His approach is collaborative and commercially minded, focused on building IP positions that support business growth.

Work highlights

Trusted adviser on IP strategy and value capture to a prominent venture capital firm and its portfolio companies, helping identify where the commercial value sits across their innovation and building the IP positions that support investment and growth.
