Practice Areas
Real estate law is our core practice, supported by dispute resolution and litigation, and corporate and commercial work.
Real Estate & Conveyancing
Real estate and conveyancing is the core of our practice. We act for purchasers, vendors, landlords, tenants, developers and investors on residential, commercial and industrial property transactions, guiding clients from the initial offer through to completion and registration of title.
Property is often the largest financial commitment a person or business will make. Our lawyers review the relevant documents, explain the legal position and obligations in clear terms, and manage each step of the conveyancing process so that your transaction proceeds accurately and on schedule.
We also assist with ownership and transfer matters and tenancy and lease arrangements, working alongside banks, developers and other professionals where required.
Typical Matters
- Sale and purchase of residential and commercial property
- Property transfer and ownership matters
- Tenancy and lease agreements
- Conveyancing and registration of title
Banking & Finance
We advise borrowers, lenders and businesses on banking and financing arrangements, from property loans to commercial facilities. Our aim is to make the legal terms of each facility clear before you commit.
Our lawyers prepare and review loan agreements, security documents and related financing paperwork, and coordinate with banks and financial institutions so that documentation is completed accurately and without unnecessary delay.
We also assist clients with discharge of charges, refinancing and other matters that arise over the life of a loan, giving practical guidance at each stage.

Corporate & Commercial
We provide corporate and commercial legal support to businesses of different sizes, from owner-managed companies to established enterprises. Our aim is to give practical advice that fits the way your business operates.
Our lawyers draft and review commercial contracts and business agreements, helping clients understand their rights, obligations and exposure before they commit. Clear and well-structured documentation protects relationships and reduces the likelihood of future disputes.
We also act as a continuing point of contact for corporate advisory and day-to-day commercial matters, so that business owners have dependable legal guidance as their needs develop.
Typical Matters
- Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts
- Corporate advisory for businesses

General Litigation
Our litigation practice represents individuals and businesses in civil disputes before the courts. We advise on the strengths and risks of a claim or defence at the outset, so that clients can make informed decisions about how to proceed.
Where a matter can be resolved without a full trial, we pursue settlement through negotiation and mediation. Where court proceedings are necessary, we prepare each case thoroughly and advocate firmly on our clients' behalf at every stage.
Our work includes property and contractual disputes as well as debt recovery, supporting clients who need to enforce their rights or defend their position in a practical and cost-conscious manner.
Typical Matters
- Civil disputes and court proceedings
- Property and contractual disputes
- Debt recovery
- Settlement negotiation and mediation
