We understand the business objectives of our clients and work with them to achieve those objectives. We provide commercially realistic advice based on our specialist knowledge of the property industry.

​

Our Property and Real Estate Group was not developed as an add-on to other core practice areas.  Instead, it is one of our main-core practice groups. Our commercial savvy means we ‘Analyze professionally the deal’. We can evaluate and support our client’s objectives to know when, and how best to compromise and make the right call.

​

We act for developers and landowners, superannuation funds, managed investment schemes, listed and unlisted corporations, banks and non-bank financiers, government departments and statutory authorities and local and overseas investors.

It is one thing to know a client's business, but without understanding the ‘environment’ in which the business operates, that knowledge is flawed. We understand the whole property environment including the physical, jurisdictional, regulatory, economic and sectoral elements.  We also understand the motivations of each stakeholder such as buyer, seller, agent, developer, financier, tenant, property manager, insurer, officer, shareholder or unitholder. We have the legal, managerial and interpersonal skills to operate in the total property environment to the best advantage of our clients.
