Property and Development.

​​

We understand that property is about far more than putting up new buildings and infrastructure. No matter what the market, we know that clients with property assets and requirements need a strategic and astute legal service from experienced and innovative advisors.

 

We’re proud of what we’ve helped our clients achieve.

 

With our deep expertise and experience we service the property law requirements of clients in a wide range of industries including energy, wine, resources, defence and agribusiness. And act for local, national and international companies across all areas of property, whether it be acquiring, constructing or selling.

 

We have significant experience in completing and compiling sale documentation for easy execution by sellers and buyers. We have the necessary resources from both a personnel and IT perspective (such as DocuSign procedures) to ensure settlements proceed efficiently and without delay to our client and can cope with large developments that require bulk conveyancing. We are also proficient with the use of PEXA, which streamlines the process of property lodgement and settlement by doing so electronically.

 

We have the depth of expertise and breadth of resources our clients need to handle major projects, complex transactions and tight deadlines. We work with all levels of government on a regular basis and our extensive industry networks help us provide clients with legally precise but practical advice that they can understand and apply. We can offer you a full legal service that includes specialist property and development expertise in many industries.

 

Our dynamic and enthusiastic team develops and maintains long-term relationships with our clients. Clients trust our years of experience, straightforward approach and reputation for getting results.
