EXPERTISE

Optimising your business goals and portfolio.

Birdsong Legal focuses on undertaking work for clients with significant property portfolios and goals. Our extensive expertise is backed-up by the quality clients for whom we act, including an international supermarket operator, numerous “big box” retailers, clients in the health and medical industry and developers of luxury residences.

We can add significant value to transactions when involved at the early stages, by identifying risks and opportunities in commercial negotiations and transaction structures.

“We have been fortunate enough to utilise David’s legal skills as both landlord and tenant. We were impressed with not only his legal acumen, but also his ability to combine this with the business outcomes required. Exceptionally pleasing was how David successfully helped us navigate some complex issues associated with a lease that we brought to him.”

– Michael Harkness, Director, Heidelberg Surgical
