SA Law offers a dedicated property dispute service with advice from recognised experts. Our Lawyers are all members of the Property Litigation Association.

Our expertise covers all types of commercial property and residential property disputes. We steer all those with an interest in land including developers, contractors, financiers, landlords and tenants towards a successful resolution, which maximises the value of their property assets.

The effects of the global credit squeeze has created a harsher property environment, which is why we also offer proactive advice and support to minimise the risk of disputes. Advising in conjunction with your in house or external property management teams we can offer early advice to prevent problems arising in the first place.

We don’t simply deliver our advice as lawyers. We deliver it as business experts with the best commercial interests of your organisation firmly in mind.
