Three decades advising technology companies from early-stage software businesses to ASX-listed technology infrastructure providers.

Technology has been a cornerstone sector throughout Cary Stynes' career — from the early commercialisation of software businesses in the 1990s through to AI-driven diagnostics and intelligent traffic management systems today. This deep familiarity means Stynes Consulting understands the commercial, governance, and capital markets dynamics that are specific to technology companies.

Advisory spans the full technology lifecycle: incorporation and structure, early-stage capital raising, commercialisation, ASX listing, continuous disclosure, and M&A exits. Cary has served as director or executive on technology company boards throughout this period.

Stynes Consulting advises biotech and medtech companies across their full development cycle from initial incorporation through to capital raising, clinical trial structuring, and ASX listing. Cary has hands-on experience as executive chairman and CEO in this sector, which gives him an understanding of the regulatory and commercial pressures unique to biotech.

Particular experience in medical cannabis regulation and licensing — having led Botanic Wellness through the Australian regulatory approvals process — and in AI-driven diagnostic technology. Cary currently serves as Executive Chairman of Botanic Wellness Limited.

One of Australia's most commercially and legally experienced advisers to the emerging bioplastics sector.

Cary Stynes has first-hand operational and strategic experience in the development of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) and PLA (polylactic acid) bioplastic materials as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. This operational experience sits alongside deep legal expertise in commercialisation, supply chain structuring, and capital raising for companies in this space.

Advisory in this sector spans regulatory compliance, technology commercialisation, ESG reporting, capital structure, and investor engagement, areas where the legal and commercial dimensions are deeply intertwined.

A sector Cary Stynes has significant experience as founder, director, and adviser from ASX listing to international acquisition and ultimate sale.

In 1995, Cary co-founded Media and Entertainment Group Limited and took the company to an ASX listing, navigating the full IPO process from inside the boardroom. The company subsequently expanded internationally before being acquired by CPH Limited (Kerry Packer).

This experience, as both the legal adviser and the executive at the table, gave Cary a deep understanding of the commercial and legal dynamics of media and entertainment transactions that is rare among legal practitioners.

Board leadership and legal advisory for companies operating essential Australian infrastructure.

Through numerous years on the board of Traffic Technologies Limited, from assisting in the original ASX listing of the Company and ultimately being appointed as Non-Executive Chairman, Cary developed deep sector knowledge in intelligent traffic management, road safety infrastructure, and government procurement.

The ASX remains the world's leading exchange for junior mining and resources listings, and Cary has advised on IPOs, placements, and corporate transactions for companies across exploration and early stage development.
