Expertise
SWS Lawyers can act in property developments from their inception to completion or can be briefed for a particular aspect of the development. Our team is not only skilled at the typical property aspects of a development (such as buying land) but understand and are experienced in planning aspects that affect a development. Our services include but are not limited to:
- property due diligence;
- advice on the purchasing entity (unit trusts, joint ventures, SPVs)
- put and call options;
- planning law due diligence;
- assisting in preparation and submission of a development application, including those applications that require additional justifications (such as heigh exceedances or heritage considerations);
- advice on the conditions of consent;
- advice on physical commencement of a development application;
- structuring a subdivision;
- acquisition or disposal of land (including off-the-plan contracts);
- FIRB approvals; and
- drafting on, varying and extinguishing easements and other restrictions on land.
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.
The knowledge SWS has about private equity and managing M&A deals is very valuable. David & Andrew were able to help me navigate the issues and get me the exit I was looking for, while also supporting the other shareholders who remained with the business.
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.
Extreme gratitude to David and Andrew for all your help with our transaction. You were both fantastic to deal with (as were the rest of the SWS team) and certainly made the negotiations and dealings easy to handle for us through the whole process. I would certainly have no hesitation at all recommending you for any future work. Again, I appreciate all your assistance.
The combination of rare legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions.
SWS has assisted with advice on securing and exercising complex property and commercial contractual rights and assisting with protracted contractual management and implementation. We value legal experts who can offer pragmatic and commercial legal solutions for our complicated matters. SWS Lawyers has consistently met these criteria.
The team at SWS Lawyers have already showcased their professionalism, commitment, positive can-do attitude and insight into our needs and have a clear understanding of the disability sector.
