Commercial Property

Overview

Commercial real estate is a substantial asset
and a potential source of value and risk within
an organisation's portfolio.

Whether you're acquiring, selling, or developing a property asset, the approach for handling legal issues must be strategic, comprehensive, and timely in order to mitigate risk, effectively manage stakeholders, and align with an organisation's commercial objectives.

With a deep understanding of the complexities involved in commercial property transactions, we deliver strategic solutions that mitigate risks, maximize opportunities, and ensure our clients’ interests are protected every step.

Advising on property matters for more than 30 years – including for developers, owners, investors, project managers, government authorities, and statutory bodies – our team combines technical expertise with practical experience to provide commercial solutions.

Led by Partner Bronwyn Clarkson, our team is passionate about property and is genuinely interested in your operations and objectives. Through this, we identify paths and solutions that will help you achieve your goals – whether that is obtaining land access for a development, drafting your development agreement, or extending the lease of your premises.

Our experience, client-centric service delivery, and high-performance mindset, help us achieve results for our clients that rival the largest firms in Australia.
