Frequently asked questions
Which suburbs do you cover in Melbourne's west?
Footscray, Yarraville, Sunshine, Altona, Laverton, Truganina, Point Cook, Werribee and the Tarneit growth corridor.
What kind of western Melbourne businesses do you act for?
Logistics and transport operators, warehousing and distribution, food manufacturing, building and civil trades, and family-owned wholesalers across the western industrial estates.
Do you help with industrial leases and warehouse deals?
Yes — industrial and warehouse leases in the west are typically commercial rather than retail leases, so the statutory protections are thinner and the drafting matters more. We negotiate make-good, outgoings, expansion rights and bank guarantees.
Can you help with subcontractor payment disputes?
Yes. We run payment claims and adjudication under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 (Vic), plus debt recovery through the Victorian courts.
How are your fees structured?
Fixed fees, quoted upfront in writing. Senior lawyers only, and no hourly billing for travel out west.
