A Unique Opportunity New to Melbourne Law
The timing is accurate to open the Melbourne office of an Eastern Seaboard firm that brings a depth in developer activity nationally. The founder is a Victorian looking to now harness the talent of a Property legal mind in his home state. He will ideally align his thinking with someone that can identify the opportunity for themselves in his depth of developer/investor relationships.
Overall, this is a niche 50-person firm focused primarily on sophisticated disciplines of project law as well as private advisory aligned with industry titans in these core areas of focus. However, they are seeking to duplicate this approach in Melbourne.
The group brings trusted property relationships across multiple practice areas within real estate which include large-scale urban development projects, facilitating high-value transactions, or navigating intricate regulatory landscapes.
