  • Property Transactions

    Our Kiama property lawyers assist clients across a wide range of transactions, including:


    • Conveyances of property (including off-the-plan sales)
    • Assisting clients in preparing easements and covenants
    • Drafting access deeds for development works
    • Advising on, or preparing, finance and mortgage documents
    • Preparing leases and licences.

  • Property Structuring

    Getting the right structure in place from the beginning is vital for both efficiency and risk management.

This helps you move forward with arrangements that support your commercial objectives.
