Property & Commercial Lawyers

A conveyancer looks after all the legal requirements for buying or selling real estate. For more information, see our article What does a conveyancer do?

Anyone who does property conveyancing work in South Australia must be a registered conveyancer, including lawyers who offer conveyancing services.

But there are differences between conveyancers and conveyancing lawyers.

Conveyancers usually only work in conveyancing. Conveyancing lawyers can offer other legal services in addition to conveyancing. This is important when a real estate transaction is connected with a legal issue. Examples include:

• A person inheriting a house under a will
• A divorcing couple dividing their assets, including the family home
• A company buying commercial real estate

A conveyancing lawyer can advise you how these other legal areas impact your real estate transaction. We can also help you if you need legal advice about the impact of Goods and Services Tax (GST), Capital Gains Tax, and other taxes.

If any legal issues arise during the conveyancing process, your conveyancing lawyer can help. On the other hand, if legal issues arise and you’re using a conveyancer (who is not a lawyer), you may need to find a lawyer to help you through the process, which may delay settlement and increase costs.

Contact us for more information about our conveyancing services.

We offer a range of general business and commercial law services, including advice and preparation of documents for:

Litigation means legal action. Commercial litigation describes legal action which concerns a business dispute.

The dispute could be over anything that takes place in a business setting, including:

• Breach of contract
• Interpretation of a clause in an agreement
• Failure to supply
• Breach of competition and consumer laws
• Restraint of trade
• Building and construction disputes
• Defamation claims
• Product liability claims
• Professional negligence claims
• Banking disputes

An excellent commercial litigation lawyer is business-savvy with a broad knowledge of how businesses operate, their challenges, and how laws apply to them. We’re proud to have invested the time and effort in our lawyers for the development of these skills.
