To provide as much certainty as possible, we give clear and accurate advice regarding our preferred approach to your matter, the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and the likelihood of success in litigated matters. We require funds in trust in advance of any work that we do and we take care to closely match your fees to our cost estimates.

We also often conduct face-to-face conferences with clients at their offices or place of business where it is convenient and appropriate to do so.

What our clients are saying
We became involved in a dispute with a builder following serious building defects in the early stages of the construction of our new home. We took the builder to court and were able to settle early without the cost of a hearing. It was a good result for us.
HELEN NGUYEN
FARFIELD EAST
I engaged Jason to draft an application for federal government approval in relation to mining operations in Papua New Guinea. Jason did a great job drafting and compiling the necessary documentation and we subsequently obtained the necessary approval.
MARTIN WILSON
CAVALIER GOLD PTY LTD
Jason helped me with a difficult court matter which posed a real threat to my horse-training business. Thanks to Jasons professional and thorough preparation, I achieved a great outcome and my business was able to continue unaffected.
STEPHEN BYRNE
HAT CREEK PTY LTD
I was in a very critical situation with a building company wanting money that was not owed to them. Jason was very understanding & professional in attempting to negotiate with the Company. I had a great deal of confidence that he would provide a positive outcome. I would recommend Jason highly to anyone dealing with a difficult situation in Commercial or Construction Law
DIANNE ASLIN
Jason was recommended to our Strata due to his knowledge in reviewing contracts regarding construction work. His most important aspect was he spoke in plain English. He pointed out several deficiencies with the contract, which our Strata would never had been aware off. I would highly recommend him, and would seek out his advice in the future if needed.
