We have a strong, independently recognised and highly regarded team of senior lawyers who work closely with our property, development and construction clients to deliver exceptional results.
Our team’s industry knowledge and experience are second to none, providing advice on a wide range of legal issues. We work with clients whose needs are across all property classes including commercial and office buildings, residential land developments including urban renewal projects, shopping centres, golf courses, hotels, clubs, ports, airports, industrial estates and rural properties.
Our clients include multi-national corporations, federal, state and local governments, listed and unlisted property trusts, privately held property developers and investors, high net worth individuals and family offices.
Capital transactions
Our property lawyers have extensive experience acting for buyers and sellers in major capital transactions across all industry segments including commercial and industrial properties, retail shopping centres and large agribusiness holdings. We are recognised for our pragmatic and problem-solving approach, and the delivery of successful outcomes for our clients. We are highly skilled in complex transaction management. We have tremendous depth of experience in advising on foreign investment laws and regulations, and in assisting in obtaining required Foreign Investment Review Board matters.
Leasing
We act for landlords and tenants in major leasing transactions across all industry segments including industrial, commercial office, and retail properties. Our work ranges from stream leasing work for landlords and tenants with large property footprints (this work is done through our TG Legal + Technology division), through to bespoke agreements for lease and development agreements for large-scale purpose built facilities. We have extensive experience in the leasing up of large master planned mixed-use developments.
Property development, joint ventures, financing and management
We act for developers and land owners in the drafting and negotiation of joint venture and development agreements. We advise on taxation and revenue issues, and on structuring and financing arrangements generally.
Conveyancing
Our teams act for developer clients in the development and sale of residential and commercial properties, and in complex multi-use development projects. We use leading technology (including electronic contract execution and exchange and electronic settlements) to deliver our developer conveyancing solutions for our developer clients. We facilitate reporting by our clients to development partners and financiers.
Due diligence
We have deep expertise in property due diligence work. We do this as part of our transactional work, and also when working with our corporate teams on M&A transactions. We investigate title, assess risk, and review and report on key title documents (including land titles, lease documents, easements, covenants, and strata title documents).
Land subdivisions and community titling
We work with our developer clients to devise the most appropriate titling structure for each development. We advise on all types of development ranging from simple commercial or residential developments, through to large-scale integrated mixed-use developments involving multiple strata schemes and building management arrangements.
Corporate Real Estate
A significant number of our clients require specialist property advice from time to time as a consequence of their own property interests and leases.
