MONTANE LEADERSHIP
CEO Message
An intellectual property and legacy lawyer, O’Hara founded Montane as a law firm in 2006. Initially, the firm specialised in legacy planning and intellectual property law. As the company grew, it became apparent to O’Hara that products and tools were needed to help people harness and leverage creativity. He saw the need for technology and apps through which human endeavours like art, thought and creativity could be expressed, protected and managed on a global scale – all on one platform.
“Companies must emphasise creativity over productivity.”
Through its emphasis on creativity, Montane provides a fluid, focussed and progressive environment.
“Montane is unique in the way it uses three major digital tools to design and create your branded lifestyle – legal, legacy and brand clouds. They work together to build, protect and enhance your intellectual capital.”
“Work is no longer work, it’s a way of life.”
Going from the separation of work and life to the seamless blending of the two takes time, but is doable with the right platform.
As a result of his experiences, O’Hara now explores and discovers ways to protect products of the mind – intellectual capital – from theft and misappropriation. More than this, he seeks to provide tools to nourish and expand intellectual capital so it can resonate beyond the life of the creator through legacy.
Montane is now a fast-growing and diverse intellectual capital and lifestyle branding company. Thanks to O’Hara’s vision, we empower creators, artists, thinkers and small business owners through branded lifestyle, legal and legacy products.
