LexNova Guild is Australia's professional association for independent and specialist legal practices — built on the idea that the right kind of collaboration makes independent lawyers more competitive, not less.
Founded by Yule Guttenbeil and Iolanthe Gabrie from real experience in independent practice, the Guild removes the barriers that make collaborating with trusted peers harder than it should be.
Through a model called coopetition, the Guild empowers solo and small-to-medium firms to work together strategically — sharing capacity, accessing broader expertise, and competing for larger matters — while fully preserving their independence, client relationships, and individual brand.
Backed by purpose-built technology and a secure collaboration framework, LexNova Guild is the infrastructure layer that makes inter-firm collaboration seamless, transparent, and professionally safe.
