Disputes & Litigation
If you are in a position that requires lawyers for disputes or litigation, we understand that it’s not very pleasant. With that in mind, let the lawyers at McAuliffe Legal guide you through civil and commercial claims, debt collection and claims involving property, farms, inheritances, as well as personal injury, property loss and damage claims.
Employment & Workplace Relations
McAuliffe Legal is able to provide high quality, commercial advice on all aspects of the employment relationship – from recruitment through to retirement.
We work with clients to respond immediately to all workplace issues and provide solutions which are tailored to and appropriate for our clients’ commercial objectives and culture.
Family Law
McAuliffe Legal practice in legal matters involving divorce, property settlements, binding financial agreements, de facto, pre-nuptial agreements, advice and litigation. Our experienced solicitors can provide the professional help you’ve been looking for.
Farming & Agriculture
Buying a farm for the first time? Selling a large property? Farming and agriculture transactions have their own specific requirements depending upon the nature of the business in issue.
At McAuliffe Legal, we have solicitors who have their own extensive farming involvement and understand the types of issues that are commonly encountered in these types of businesses. Understanding those issues is essential to ensuring that the legal requirements are adequately addressed for the protection of our clients.
Liquor, Hospitality and Events
Dealing with liquor matters, hospitality and event proposals is not recommended without professional assistance. This is because of:
- The complex and relatively harsh regulatory and administrative regime of the Department of Racing Gaming and Liquor in WA; and
- The myriad of different planning, environmental health and liability issues that arise in hospitality and events.
Mining Industry
If you’re involved with the mining industry, allow us to help you with any tenement advice, documentation, joint ventures, as well as any acquisition and sale agreements. With decades of legal support to the mining industry including service as directors, chairman and promoters of new mining floats, McAuliffe Legal can assist.
Personal Injury & Property Damage Compensation
Mark McAuliffe has extensive experience in the pursuit and management of claims arising from accidents.
Personal injury claims can arise from work place accidents giving rise to workers’ compensation and damages for negligence. Injuries can also occur in motor vehicle accidents and on other persons’ property.
Property/Conveyancing
At McAuliffe Legal we can assist you in all aspects of conveyancing and property transactions. Whether it be the acquisition or the sale of a property, borrowing and securing money or transferring property following the death of a person or the breakdown of a relationship, McAuliffe Legal can assist you with all your legal requirements.
Superannuation
Superannuation funds are tax effective and important structures available to individuals and family groups. Super fund trustees often require specific advice, while super benefits – as a major component of the wealth of many family groups – require very specific and tailored structuring to ensure that benefits are paid in the most tax effective way.
Town Planning/Environment & Land Compensation
McAuliffe Legal has two solicitors with over 10 years’ experience specialising in town planning (front end and back end services), environmental advice and litigation, and land compensation, working for either the claimant or the resuming/public authority.
Wills & Estates
If you require solicitors in Bunbury, Busselton or Margaret River to draft a will, or assist in estate planning you have found it in the law firm of McAuliffe Legal. Powers of attorney, living wills, probate and even disputed wills can all be managed by the solicitors at McAuliffe Legal.
Wine Industry
McAuliffe Legal is well versed in vineyard and winery contracts, supply and distribution agreements, and the headache that liquor licensing can be. Trust us with your legal needs in the South West, so that you can focus on your vineyard or winery.
