A compulsory purchase order gives an “acquiring authority”, such as a local authority, the legal right to buy or take land.

Our experienced lawyers can support and advise landowners facing the loss of their land and property (if applicable).

If you have received a compulsory land purchase order, our experts can:

advise you on your position and how to make valid objections or seek changes to the order to benefit you;
explain the legal process in simple terms and steer you through the complete process;
represent you during a public inquiry; and
negotiate on your behalf to acquire an acceptable compensation settlement

It is crucial that you understand your legal position when facing a compulsory purchase order. With the knowledge of our skilled team, we can settle cases quickly and get you the best possible result.

What our clients say

Kat could not have been more helpful, valuable, professional or friendly. I could not have asked for a better experience in going through my settlement agreement than the service I received from Kat and she was the reason we achieved an outcome far more beneficial to me than I expected. In our conversations Kat was very clear about the process, she did not rush me through any of my questions or decision-making and I genuinely felt like it was important to her that I got the best outcome possible. I would not hesitate at all to work with Kat again or to recommend her to anyone else who would need legal advice. Thank you, Kat!

Residential Conveyancing

Terms and conditions, a necessity to protect your business and your customers. We needed to develop new T&C's to reflect our current operations. In this past this has been complex, expensive and time consuming. Including difficult too understand legal jargon and language that is often included in T&C's. As we operate with transparency is was very important that our T&C's are clear and easy for our customers to understand and agree to. Right from the beginning Phil removed the complexity and jargon, resulting in brand new T&Cs which are customer friendly. He made the whole process easy, efficient and painless! Thank you Phil!
