Corporate and commercial law
Achieving successful commercial objectives involves collaborating with lawyers who understand your business, your commercial environment and your expectations for the future. Your lawyer should act as your business partner, offering advice to help you make better business decisions.
This requires people who can explain complex situations in plain English, provide dependable and accurate information, anticipate and manage risks, and develop solutions to get you a profitable outcome.
The division or amalgamation of land has many legal variations depending on where it’s located and how you intend to use it. Subdividing land is usually done with fee simple, cross lease, unit and strata titles being used to determine boundaries, land classification and the rights and obligations of owners.
Every subdivision is different and some are complex projects requiring resource management consultants, planners, engineers, valuers and surveyors. We work closely with these specialists as required to complete any subdivision. Having your lawyer manage a subdivision is often the most efficient and cost-effective way to complete it.
