Full-service legal capability across Australia, India & Malaysia.
Each practice area below is delivered locally inside our Australia, India and Malaysia offices - by lawyers qualified in that jurisdiction - and connected when matters cross borders.
Three full practices. One firm.
Collins Quarters is structured as a genuine international law firm with locally qualified teams in Australia, India and Malaysia. Each office runs a complete domestic practice - the same partners who advise on a contract or a dispute also coordinate cross-border deals.
Whether you need a domestic Indian commercial lawyer, an Australian property lawyer, a Malaysian corporate lawyer, or a single coordinated mandate across all three - you work with one firm, one partner, and one set of fees.

Three offices. One law firm.

The same model applies to Malaysia–Australia property and ASEAN structuring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle matters outside of Australia?
Yes. Collins Quarters is an international law firm with full-service legal teams in Australia, India and Malaysia. Indian lawyers in Chennai handle Indian work, Malaysian counsel handle Malaysian work, and our Australian lawyers in Melbourne handle Australian work - all under one firm, with cross-border matters coordinated by one partner.
How are your fees structured?
We offer flexible fee arrangements including fixed fees, capped fees, and hourly rates depending on the nature and complexity of your matter. For M&A transactions, we often work on a phased fee basis aligned with deal milestones. We always provide transparent cost estimates upfront.
What size of clients do you typically work with?
We work with a range of clients - from ambitious startups entering the Australian market for the first time, to established conglomerates executing large-scale acquisitions. Our sweet spot is the mid-market sector ($5M–$100M transactions), where we provide top-tier service with greater partner involvement.
How quickly can I expect a response?
We pride ourselves on responsiveness. Initial consultations are typically scheduled within 24–48 hours. For urgent matters such as FIRB deadlines or injunctions, we have protocols for same-day engagement.
Can you assist with both the legal and immigration aspects of an expansion?
Absolutely. This is one of our key differentiators. We provide integrated corporate and immigration advice, ensuring that workforce mobility is aligned with your broader corporate strategy - from entity setup and visas to employment contracts and compliance.
