More than bricks and mortar

We provide expert advice across all areas of property, including conveyancing and easements, leases and licences, native title, compulsory acquisition, construction contracts and disputes, property damage claims, planning and environmental advice, and compliance with privacy, competition, and GIPA requirements.


Our team has experience in drafting, negotiating and advising on all types of property transactions, including acquisitions (and structured purchases) and sales, development, and other commercial agreements, such as joint venture agreements, master planning and titling, project strategy, asset structuring and protection, financing, property development, strata and community titling, due diligence, and risk management. We also have extensive experience advising on property developments and volume sales when acting for vendors.

We have transformed our conveyancing practice to transition towards a fully electronic conveyancing solution. As the industry has moved towards online settlements via PEXA we have taken a leading role having worked with PEXA to assist in their development of their PEXA projects solution for bulk conveyancing projects.

We understand the importance of moving quickly. During they sales phase of a project we commit to ensuring contracts are issued and exchanges are achieved without delay. We have developed relationships with sales agents to ensure the exchange and settlement process is streamlined and efficient.

We address not only the legal needs but also the commercial needs when acting in the acquisition of properties. This includes understanding key motivations behind the deal, desired outcomes and priorities and expectations.

We work with, and understand, the needs of many property industry stakeholders such as developers, urban planners, facilities managers, and other professional advisers. We know the value of working collaboratively to produce results and connect people and opportunities across the property lifecycle.
