We are a small firm but our commercial property experience is anything but. We help some of Australasia’s leading property owners, managers, retailers, and property investors with all their commercial and residential property management, development and leasing issues. They have developed long-term relationships with us because we’ve got them the best commercial results by fighting hard on the things that matter to them – and we’ll do the same for you. The advantage of using us over a large firm is you get access to the experts. You don’t get passed down the ranks. You can be confident that you can trust our advice. Because we’ve devoted our entire careers to practising property law, you will benefit from the wealth of knowledge we’ve built up on past projects. Our reputation and experience ensure that any negotiations are kept on-point and on-target. As a result negotiations are unlikely to become protracted or focused on irrelevant issues. These factors enable us to provide outstanding value for money – every time. Commercial property leasing We assist both landlords and tenants with all their commercial property leasing needs. If you’re a landlord or manager, we recognise that the lease IS the commercial value. If a lease is defective it can affect your return on investment. We have successfully effected better returns for a number of our landlord clients through vastly improved terms, better rent and better review terms which has resulted in real dollar gains. If you’re a tenant, then we have compelling tenant advocates on our team who will fight hard for you. Because we do act for so many landlords, we know what they expect from a deal and are realistic. We’ll move through the less important issues quickly to ensure we don’t get bogged down in protracted negotiations, which ultimately cost you more for no real benefit. You can be confident we will negotiate the best possible lease for you, which addresses those areas that really matter. If you want the best possible lease terms then talk to us about how we might be able to help. Contact any of our partners. back to top Retail leasing We have been immersed in retail leasing since 1981 and have advised many owners/managers of shopping complexes and town centres on all legal issues associated with the development, management and operation of their centres. If you’re an owner/manager we will help you to set up the best and most workable environment you can hope for. It’s important to get the right advice at the outset in order to ensure that you have maximum flexibility and control over your environment at the operating stage. We will make sure we understand what you are trying to do at the outset and make suggestions based on our extensive experience advising others in this area. You can be confident that the documents we draft will reflect both what you want and need to achieve. Our approach is to work as an integral part of your team and to focus on the big picture. Once we know and understand your business we can make your job easier by concentrating on the issues important to you. You will end up with a deal that works well for you and that minimises your exposure to legal risks. We have developed tailor made agreements to lease and deeds of lease for multiple retail centres which have stood the test of time and which have helped to ensure the smooth running of these developments. We will do the same for you. If you’re a major or other tenant, our compelling tenant advocates will fight hard for you on the things that matter to ensure you get the best possible lease terms. Our reputation and experience ensure that negotiations are kept on-point and on-target. Because we regularly work for both owners and tenants we understand what the other side is thinking and what their key issues are. This enables us to deliver you better results, as we can advise in which areas to concede and in which to stand firm, thus ensuring deals don’t fall through over a minor issue. If you are an owner/manager or a major or other tenant and want ready access to specialist retail lawyers whose advice you can trust, talk to us about how we might be able to help.

They tell us they consider us an integral part of their project team. If you choose to work with us you can expect us to ask questions to find out about your project and what’s important to you – and we’ll listen to your answers. Once we understand you and your venture, we can deliver what you want and need. We’re not fence sitters. We will give you answers and will tell you if there’s anything you’re doing we don’t agree with, and suggest an alternative. You can then make informed decisions.
