Our solicitors have acted for and dealt professionally with other solicitors all across Queensland (including Brisbane) as well as in NSW, WA and Victoria (particularly Sydney, Perth and Melbourne).

In addition to guiding you through any prospective merger, we can provide the decisions only experts are qualified to contemplate as well as establishing the documents that manage and govern your organisation in accordance with your objectives and that the business planning you undertake is reflected in the contracts we form and the outcomes we generate.

We have advised on large client projects and property developments, including joint ventures with foreign corporations, establishing a large offshore fund for transactions with international corporations in Asia as well as acting as general counsel for large AFSL entities including large property trusts and aggregations.
