From the earliest feasibility studies to final transactions and dispute resolution, P&D Legal provides clear, practical advice at every stage of your project. Our expertise spans development, planning, environmental law, property transactions, and more all delivered with a focus on achieving the best outcome for you.
Property development is a multi-stage process where each decision can have long-term commercial and legal implications. At P&D Legal, we work alongside you from the very first idea through to completion and beyond, ensuring every stage is strategically planned and legally sound. By understanding the full development cycle, we’re able to anticipate challenges early, resolve issues before they escalate, and keep your project moving without unnecessary delays.
We partner with developers, investors, and businesses to provide end-to-end legal support, covering everything from feasibility studies and acquisition due diligence to structuring joint ventures, obtaining planning approvals, and managing construction contracts. Our proactive approach ensures your project complies with all regulatory requirements while also protecting your commercial interests at every stage.
Disputes over planning or environmental decisions can significantly disrupt your project’s timeline and profitability. If your development application is refused, or you face an adverse regulatory decision, P&D Legal provides skilled representation in the Land and Environment Court. We combine a thorough understanding of the legislation with practical knowledge of how these matters are resolved, ensuring we pursue the most effective path forward whether through negotiation, mediation, or a contested hearing.
Our experience covers a wide range of matters, including challenging refusals, defending against enforcement actions, and resolving environmental compliance disputes. We focus on building strong cases, supported by evidence and strategic legal arguments, to protect your interests and secure the best possible outcome for your project or property.
Navigating planning and environmental regulations can be complex and time-consuming. At P&D Legal, we provide clear, commercially-focused advice to help you understand and meet your legal obligations while keeping your project on track. We assist with securing approvals, negotiating agreements with councils and authorities, and managing the risks associated with environmental issues such as contamination or waste management.
Our team stays up to date with changing regulations to ensure your project remains compliant from start to finish. Whether you need advice on a rezoning, guidance on development applications, or representation in environmental enforcement matters, we have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process and minimise potential risks to your investment.
Compulsory acquisition can be a stressful and disruptive experience, particularly if you are unsure of your rights or the process involved. P&D Legal acts for landowners, developers, and businesses to ensure they are treated fairly when a government authority seeks to acquire property. We provide clear advice from the outset, explaining your entitlements and working to achieve the best possible compensation outcome.
We manage the entire process on your behalf, from reviewing acquisition notices and negotiating with authorities to challenging acquisition decisions in the relevant court or tribunal if required. Our focus is always on protecting your position, minimising disruption, and ensuring you are fully informed every step of the way.
Every property transaction, whether simple or complex, involves legal risks that can impact your investment. At P&D Legal, we provide practical, commercially-aware advice to guide you through purchases, sales, leases, and other property dealings. We ensure your contracts are robust, your obligations are clear, and your interests are protected at every stage.
From residential conveyancing to large commercial property transactions, our experience allows us to anticipate potential issues and resolve them efficiently. We also handle complex matters such as easements, restrictions, and strata titling, giving you confidence that all legal aspects of your property dealings are managed with precision.
