Expertise
SWS Lawyers regularly advise clients on matters involving easements. We act on behalf of landowners, developers, and public authorities on all types of matters relating to easements. In particular, we can:
- advise on and negotiate the imposition of a new easement, by effectively communicating your request to the burdened landowner, drafting the deed granting easement and preparing the section 88B instrument;
- advise on the impacts of an easement on your land, including existing easements or proposed easements;
- negotiate compensation for a proposed easement;
- advise on intensification or misuse of an easement;
- advise and act on extinguishment of an easement;
- resolve easement disputes, including advising on the rights and obligations a landowner burdened or benefitted by an easement has;
- advise on and appear in Section 88K Proceedings (in both the Land and Environment Court and the Supreme Court).
Their approach is always professional and delivered at a standard comparable to a capital city law firm. It is the clear strategic direction that has always impressed me about the SWS team.
We believe their ability to combine first rate legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions. We use SWS because of their ability, not their post code.
