A global law firm, registered in Australia
Collins Quarters is a global law firm. Our registered office is in Melbourne, Australia, and our back office is in Chennai, India. We are not limited to any list of countries: clients come to us from all over the world.
Our lawyers advise on corporate and commercial law, property and FIRB, visas and migration, employment, family law, wills and estates, and disputes. The Chennai back office supports case preparation, documents and client communication, so matters keep moving across time zones.
Where a matter touches more than one country, such as an overseas investor buying property, a business expanding into Australia or a family with assets abroad, we run it as one mandate with one lawyer accountable end-to-end, and engage qualified local counsel wherever another country's law applies.
Full-service legal capability for clients worldwide
Each capability below is available to clients wherever they live, and coordinated as one matter when your work spans more than one country.
Corporate & Commercial
Day-to-day commercial counsel, contracts, governance and shareholder arrangements for businesses based in Australia or overseas.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Buy-side and sell-side advisory, due diligence and deal structuring for Australian and cross-border transactions.
Property & Real Estate
Property transactions, leasing, conveyancing and FIRB approvals for buyers and investors, wherever they live.
Employment & Mobility
Employment contracts, workplace policies, employer sponsorship and visas for people moving to Australia from any country.
Dispute Resolution
