We make it easy (and cost effective) to find a property lawyer who already understands your industry and the demands on you as a property developer. Our property lawyers apply our property development industry expertise and to guide your operations.

Property development is a complex business involving the sale and purchase of properties including residential, industrial, commercial, mixed-use and vacant land.

Our property and property development lawyers understand the property industry. They are experienced in the full cycle of the project including in relation to planning, property, commercial and dispute matters that arise in the ordinary course of a property development. Our property lawyers’ extensive experience means that we can identify issues that you may not have considered, advise you on the options available and provide commercial and practical recommendations.

Our property lawyers know that property developers are time-poor so our advice is timely, clear and succinct.

In engaging our property lawyers, you have the peace of mind that professional fees are agreed at the outset, so there are no surprises.

Our firm is structured so that we manage legal projects and services for our clients to  deliver efficient, innovative and positive outcomes.

You can be assured that you are able to speak directly to the property lawyer managing your project.

In addition to being there if things go wrong, our property lawyers focus on prevention and best practice. We understand that it is hard to think about the future, but it’s worse if you haven’t. Having robust but straightforward agreements, processes, procedures and plans in place from the outset prevent disputes and unnecessary costs in the future.

For example, if you are undertaking a not-in-common-ownership (NICO) subdivision, have you considered having a joint venture or partition agreement in place to protect your interests to plan for the future in the event that all lots in the plan of subdivision are not sold?
