Real Estate

We part­ner with real estate agents, agen­cies, fran­chisors, and key stake­hold­ers to deliv­er prac­ti­cal, com­mer­cial­ly focused legal advice across all aspects of the real estate sector.

As one of the lead­ing legal teams in the indus­try, we bring exten­sive expe­ri­ence to a high­ly reg­u­lat­ed and spe­cialised area of law. Our exper­tise spans com­plex merg­ers and acqui­si­tions involv­ing rent rolls, lit­i­gat­ed com­mis­sion claims, and reg­u­la­to­ry dis­putes with NSW Fair Trading.

Our deep under­stand­ing of real estate law allows us to work close­ly with clients to achieve the best out­comes. We advise on mat­ters includ­ing rent roll acqui­si­tions, busi­ness and share pur­chas­es, inde­pen­dent con­trac­tor agree­ments, share­hold­er agree­ments and dis­putes, res­i­den­tial ten­an­cy issues, NSW Fair Trad­ing inves­ti­ga­tions, com­mis­sion claims, and com­pli­ance with agency agreements.

Our clients range from sole traders and bou­tique agen­cies to fran­chisees and fran­chisors. We also col­lab­o­rate with gov­ern­ing bod­ies, bro­kers, and financiers to pro­vide com­pre­hen­sive legal solu­tions and growth oppor­tu­ni­ties for real estate businesses. 

We are a proud mem­ber of REINSW.

Our deep exper­tise in the real estate sec­tor means we are often engaged to resolve com­plex dis­putes and high-stakes mat­ters.
