About Us

​We’re always in your corner.

 
 

Led by Principal Lawyer Mahmoud Khwaja, our firm offers trusted, strategic legal advice built on more than 15 years of experience across government, corporate advisory, investment management, and private practice. This diverse background brings a depth of insight and commercial acumen that informs every matter we handle.

We are committed to delivering clear, responsive and outcome-focused legal services with integrity and professionalism. Clients benefit from a personalised approach, combining technical excellence with practical, real-world understanding.

Areas of expertise include:

• Property & Conveyancing (Australia-wide) – End-to-end support for residential, commercial, and off-the-plan transactions, with a strong focus on risk mitigation and smooth settlements.
• Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) – We assist clients with the legal and compliance aspects of setting up and managing SMSFs, including structuring, documentation, and property transactions. Our role is to ensure all legal requirements are met and that the SMSF operates in line with superannuation and tax laws.
Please note: We do not provide financial advice about whether an SMSF is right for you or recommend specific investments.
• Commercial Law & Investment Management – Advising businesses, investors and fund managers on contracts, structuring, compliance and commercial transactions.
• Commercial Leasing & Disputes – Representing landlords and tenants in lease negotiations, enforcement and dispute resolution.
• Wills & Estates – Tailored solutions for estate planning, probate, and succession matters.
• Tax Matters – Providing strategic tax advice across property, investment and business structures.

The firm’s approach is grounded in building long-term relationships, understanding clients’ goals, and providing advice that is both practical and protective. Whether navigating a property transaction, commercial arrangement, or personal legal matter, clients can be confident they are in capable hands.
