We are proud to continue the tradition of serving the community by providing free legal advice, fundraising for worthy causes and serving on the boards of schools, hospitals and community organisations.
Our firm’s background in the communities and associations space is unmatched and through the vast experience of our team, we thoroughly understand the environment in which communities and associations operate.

- Charity law
- tax effective structures
- the establishment of charitable trusts
- governance across all forms of organisation
- constitutions
- compliance
- contracts of employment and other employment law issues
- general advice to:
- schools and other educational institutions
- hospitals and other health care institutions
- retirement villages and nursing homes and aged care providers; and

As a firm, we are also determined to continue making a positive and significant contribution to the community, with our provision of pro-bono legal services policy which encourages our people to maintain an involvement in and support a multitude of projects and initiatives.
