COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
We will assist you with all aspects of the law relating to commercial leasing. The two main tasks we are often asked to perform are drafting and reviewing commercial leases.
There are various types of commercial leases and each of these types will be impacted by a myriad of factors including the type of business, commercial constraints, the location of the property, the prospective tenant, other tenants on the property and in neighbouring properties, and state and local council requirements. We can assist you to determine the best commercial lease to suit your requirements and ensure compliance with the local jurisdictional requirements.

CONSTRUCTION
The construction industry has been integral to the economic recovery efforts since the global financial crisis (GFC). Governments and the private sector are committed to ensuring this sector remains vibrant and secure in the near and distant future.
However, the legal landscape impacting on the construction sector is ever changing. Additionally, increased safety and insurance requirements impose greater obligations on developers and can result in greater risks and costs on a construction project particularly when not managed properly.
We adopt a pragmatic approach with all our construction clients. We often find that a consultative, often non-legal, approach to many of the construction disputes and issues tends to yield the best outcomes for our clients and all other parties involved. However, where a legal solution is required we will develop a legal strategy that addresses your concerns in the manner and timeframe that best suits your situation. Once we have developed that strategy, we will fight hard on your behalf.
Our construction experience extends to several industry sectors, including residential, high density, multi-level, commercial, mining, manufacturing, recreational (such as public footpaths), defence, water, and wastewater.
We have had extensive experience in developing innovative teaming arrangements that are designed to nurture the creativity and cohesion between contracting parties. These arrangements have been successfully implemented in various contracting environments and have been attributed as the sole reason why disputing parties have elected to avoid litigious and adversarial proceedings.
We have developed several procurement models that aim to improve gross profit at every stage of the construction process and across construction organisations.
We have assisted clients to develop their business models and process to ensure they adopt lean processes and strategies throughout their organization.
As a full-service construction practice, we assist our clients at every stage of a project from financing to high volume conveyancing through to litigation.
CRIMINAL LAW
Our criminal defence lawyers are astute, supportive and highly sophisticated, particularly known for their skills in providing strategic, sensible and practical criminal law advice and for our ability to keep potentially high-profile cases out of the public eye.
We believe that everyone accused of a crime has the right to a strong, committed defence, and that every case is of vital importance to the accused.
From the most minor to the most serious offences, our approach is the same – detailed investigation that explores every avenue, pro-active and determined representation in the police station and at Court, commitment to providing the best advice and explanation of the law, and a sympathetic understanding of the importance of the case to you.
As a member firm of the Criminal Defence Service, we can provide free advice and representation under the Legal Aid scheme at the police station and in Court. If you are not eligible for Legal Aid, we also offer competitive private rates.
