Real estate and projects

Our property lawyers specialise in managing complex projects and real estate matters – from acquisition and development, to leasing and disposal.

Each client and every deal are different – but we love this about our work. We're a dedicated, personable team of problem solvers with decades of experience across the retail, office, industrial, residential and energy sectors. Our real estate lawyers provide exceptional value because our processes are lean and efficient. We use technology that streamlines large-scale due diligence and document management tasks. This means we can focus more resources on providing the best advice and support possible.

Capital transactions

We know how to execute capital transactions – we've been doing it for over 30 years. Our team has advised on some of the largest deals in the country, for both domestic and international clients.

From partners to paralegals, we're a team with the expertise to manage complex negotiations and intricate property settlements. Whether it's a single asset or a large property portfolio, we'll develop an intimate knowledge of your commercial goals, and carefully manage each transaction to meet your specific needs.

Leasing and asset management

Our commercial property lawyers specialise in practical, cost-efficient advice and support for landlords and tenants, including industrial leasing. You’ll experience close support throughout the leasing cycle – from negotiations and heads of agreement, to incentives, fit outs, licenses, service agreements and disputes.

Our practices are grounded in expert knowledge and powered by technology. Our clients benefit from swift turnarounds, along with best-practice reporting, document retention and portfolio management.

Development

We've successfully advised on countless commercial, industrial, office and residential projects from start to finish.

We begin by developing an intimate understanding of your project's drivers, objectives and risks.
