Areas of Practice

We are a specialist agribusiness law firm and act on all matters that affect our rural clients. Some of the work that we do includes:

Rural Property

Buying, selling or leasing – we go that step further. We have a practical understanding of what our clients want and the service required during any property transaction. We provide hands-on advice and assistance to our clients to ensure every transaction is delivered without undue stress and delay.

Compensation & Resumption

We assist our clients to protect their most important asset – their land. Whether from initial exploration through to full development, we ensure your rights are protected and your business is respected. We pride ourselves on standing up for landholders and have the knowledge and skill to deliver the best outcomes.

Success Planning

We don’t look at succession as the end of the road but a part of any successful business. We work for a broad range of clients in various stages of their business cycles and understand the stress and anxiety that can be caused during the planning process. We take an active part in assessing all factors which impact your business and use our knowledge and know how to develop plans that work – for now and the future.

Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Court is always the last option but preparation is the key to successful resolution of any dispute. We represent clients on a broad range of dispute and litigation matters including vegetation & water, small & large debt claims, breach of contract and warranty claims along with general court and special circumstance matters.

Wills & Estates

We focus on helping our clients protect their assets for the next generation. No one likes to think about when it is their time to head to the long paddock but without a thorough and well documented estate plan – your hard earned assets can be exposed.

Family

We have developed a specialty in rural family law to ensure that when relationships break down it doesn’t cost the family farm. We have the knowledge and experience to deal with all family matters upfront with the aim to reach amicable and fair outcomes for both parties.

Partnerships & Agreements

A hand shake is not always the best protection for your next venture or business arrangement. We have experience in drafting and negotiating a broad range of agreements that protects your legal rights but can also work practically on the ground.

Advisory

We assist our clients in putting the pieces of the puzzle together. We assist clients with the interface with their other professional advisors including accountants, financial advisors, bank managers, valuers and property agents to ensure their business interests are optimised and outcomes maximized.
