Meet our teamWhat we do
We specialise in the drafting of company constitutions, trust deeds and SMSF deeds, as well as an entire suite of legal documentation in and around those structures. In an increasingly litigious environment, especially in the trust and SMSF space, staying abreast of recent legislative changes, case law, government policy and market trends is at the forefront of what we do. Attention to detail, expert legal review and drafting precision are essential in the drafting of both constitute documents and, crucially, subsequent amending documentation, to ensure desired changes are compliant and effective. We are the respected foundation of trust and reliability in this area of the law.
