The retail sector is facing
unprecedented challenges
In the wake of the pandemic and increasingly unpredictable global economic forecasts, the retail sector has faced unprecedented challenges over recent years. From supply chain and leasing to customer footfall and workforce hurdles, many business owners have had to be resourceful in order to survive.
Whilst the future of retail developments may seem uncertain, there are strong prospects on the horizon for those who are able to adapt to changing market conditions. With the sector remaining a multi-million dollar industry, opportunities are out there for those who are prepared. Making smart legal decisions when it comes to land and business investments is crucial to sustaining retail growth into the future.
We forge pathways for growth
We’ve worked with retailers long enough to know not only where their commercial strengths and weaknesses lie – but also what they need to be thinking about in the future. For decades, we have advised on the development, management and winding up of major regional retail projects across multiple niches, from shopping centres to construction, furniture and motor vehicle dealerships.
Regularly acting in high-value undertakings in excess of $100 million, we have secured successful outcomes for a variety of clients including the Coffs Harbour Masters Hardware Store, Park Beach Plaza Shopping Centre, HomeBase Bulky Goods Centre, Port Central Shopping Centre and Orana Mall Marketplace – to name just a few.
Commercial and property development law
As advisors to a wide range of retail initiatives – from family owned businesses to large and expanding shopping chains – we support our clients across every aspect of their project, from land purchases, sales and redevelopments to leasing, franchising, town planning, financing and general commercial advice.
