Our national Real Estate team delivers commercial, outcome-focused advice across Australia’s most complex property transactions, developments and portfolios.

Why choose us
Our clients value our
Acquisitions & disposals expertise
We assist clients with the acquisitions and disposals across industrial and logistics, office, retail and shopping centres, mixed-use and residential assets. Our broad experience across asset classes enables us to tailor solutions to fit clients’ individual needs and circumstances.
We are frequently engaged on complex, time-critical and multi-jurisdictional transactions where coordination and judgment are critical.
Our team works hand-in-hand with clients to streamline due diligence, contract negotiation and settlement processes to ensure acquisitions and disposals are managed efficiently while ensuring:
- deals remain aligned with client risk settings
- transaction timetables are met and
- FIRB, tax and structuring issues are identified early to ensure deals get done.
Our systems and processes align with investor reporting and financier requirements and are consistent with best-practice seen across the Australian market.
Leasing expertise
Our team supports clients throughout the leasing cycle from initial heads of agreement to end of lease disputes. We offer practical, cost-effective advice and support for both landlord and tenants across all asset classes.
We support:
- large-scale leasing programmes for institutional and government landlords
- specialised and one-off negotiation of complex bespoke leases for premium commercial, office, logistics and retail assets
- agreements for lease and development interfaces
- portfolio management and enforcement.
Our approach is commercial, time-efficient and aligned to risk profiles, supported by one of Australia’s largest litigation practices for urgent defaults and contested matters.
For high-volume leasing portfolios, we build client-specific precedent suites, and standardise playbooks and reporting, which enables the delivery of consistent national outcomes, echoing the disciplined, technology-enabled platforms institutional owners expect.
Property development & project expertise
We partner with developers, landowners and investors on a wide variety of property development and large-scale infrastructure projects including:
- greenfield master planned communities
- urban infill projects
- mixed-use precincts
- large-scale residential developments
- industrial precincts and
- renewable energy projects.
Our team also assists with structuring and negotiating joint ventures, development management arrangements and complex funding structures – while coordinating seamlessly with construction, tax, environment and planning colleagues to keep programmes on track. This end-to-end model mirrors the most effective development practices in the market, providing clients with a single point of accountability from concept to completion.
Whether you are delivering a boutique residential development or a multi-stage precinct transformation, we bring the commercial acumen, technical depth and project discipline to help you realise your vision.
Planning & environment expertise
Our teams work tirelessly to de-risk approvals and navigate the complex intersection of environment, planning and land use issues that directly impact development feasibility, delivery timelines and transaction certainty.
Our work spans strategic planning assessments, stakeholder and community engagement, conditions negotiation and appeals where required.
We also regularly advise on compulsory acquisitions, compensation claims and land valuation disputes including working with planning authorities, councils and government agencies to secure timely approvals and manage regulatory risk.
From rezoning applications and environmental impact assessments to heritage considerations and infrastructure contributions, we provide the strategic guidance needed to turn planning challenges into development opportunities.
