Property
Martin Matthews has extensive experience as a property lawyer.
Since his admission to practice in 1998, Martin has specialised in property and contract law. While doing so, he has acted for numerous major clients, including national banks, telecommunication carriers, national land development companies, and shopping centre owners. Apart from acting in the more commonly encountered fields of property law, such as commercial leasing and residential land development, Martin has also undertaken complex work in relation to successful Supreme Court adverse possession and partition law claims. He specialises in using his legal research skills to provide opinion work on such matters, and on contract disputes.
Martin also advises clients on retirement village matters and has presented talks on retirement village and elder law issues at conferences and to industry organisations.
Martin’s clients rely on his strong property law knowledge, and his keen eye for detail, in connection with their freehold and leasehold property acquisitions and disposals, and in helping them to obtain the best possible results in property-related contractual disputes.
