Corporate & commercial law
Company structuring, governance, commercial contracts, mergers and everyday advisory work for growing and established organisations.
Commercial services
Boutique commercial law, with a use for every dollar it earns.
Our commercial team acts for companies, government agencies and not-for-profit organisations. The work is ordinary boutique-firm practice — the difference is where the fees end up.
Property law
Acquisitions, disposals, leasing and development work across commercial and mixed-use property.
Technology & intellectual property
Protecting software, platforms, trade marks and brand assets, and drafting the agreements that let technology businesses scale.
Social impact & not-for-profit law
Structuring, governance and compliance advice for charities, foundations and social enterprises — a specialty that grew naturally out of who we are.
Residential conveyancing
Clear, fixed-scope conveyancing for buyers and sellers, from contract review through to settlement.
Wills & estates
Wills, powers of attorney, estate planning and probate administration, handled with the same care we bring to any client relationship.
Why instruct us
Ordinary rigour, unusual purpose.
Clients come to us for the same reasons they'd come to any well-run commercial practice: responsive advice, clear scoping, and lawyers who know their area. What's different is what happens to the fee once the invoice is paid — it becomes part of the budget that keeps our humanitarian firm free to the people who rely on it.
Many of our commercial clients tell us this is part of why they choose to instruct us over an equivalent firm; for others, it's simply that the work is good. Either is a fine reason to call.
A parallel resource
The in-house pro bono desk.
For corporate and government clients with their own in-house legal teams, we run a pro bono desk that lets in-house counsel contribute volunteer hours directly to humanitarian matters — a way for legal departments to support the mission with expertise, not just budget.
