Corporate, Commercial & Property Law
From start-up companies to large listed companies, we provide solutions across the full risk spectrum of business and property transactions. We focus on what’s relevant to your business within your sector to achieve the right solution.
Elit Lawyers by McGirr & Snell provides tailored solutions to clients across a range of corporate, commercial and property transactions. We are highly regarded for providing top-tier advice without the big firm costs.
Our clients range from start-ups to small and medium enterprises to large listed companies, across a wide range of industries including transport and logistics, engineering, building and construction, aged care, information systems, hospitality, electrical, financial services, pharmaceutical, franchising, agriculture, manufacturing and retail.
We also know that things don’t always go to plan. Working closely with our litigation team, we will support you through all aspects of a transaction.
Through embracing the spirit of entrepreneurship and modern collaboration we have adopted a model where our clients are at the centre of everything we do and become part of the journey, rather than removed from it.
We know how to negotiate smart commercial outcomes.
