One firm. Three jurisdictions.
Australia · India · Malaysia.
Collins Quarters runs three full-service legal practices - Australian lawyers in Melbourne, Indian lawyers in Chennai, and Malaysian counsel covering Kuala Lumpur. Domestic legal services in each jurisdiction, plus integrated cross-border advisory under one mandate.
An international law firm with three home markets
Collins Quarters operates as a single international firm with full legal teams in Australia, India, and Malaysia. Each office is staffed by locally qualified lawyers who handle domestic matters in their own jurisdiction.
Our Australian team in Melbourne advises on Australian corporate, commercial, property, employment, family, estates and dispute work. Our Indian team in Chennai delivers India-side corporate, commercial, technology, employment, real estate and dispute services. Our Malaysian counsel cover corporate, property, franchise, employment and dispute work in Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region.
Where a matter touches more than one country - India–Australia ECTA work, Malaysia–Australia property and FIRB, group restructures, multi-jurisdictional disputes or global mobility programs - the three teams operate as one mandate, with one partner accountable end-to-end.
Full-service legal capability - locally and across borders
Each capability below is delivered locally inside our Australia, India and Malaysia practices, and brought together when work spans more than one jurisdiction.
Corporate & Commercial
Day-to-day commercial counsel, contracts, governance and shareholder arrangements - delivered locally by our Australian, Indian and Malaysian teams.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Buy-side and sell-side advisory, due diligence and deal structuring - domestic transactions in each jurisdiction and integrated cross-border M&A.
Property & Real Estate
Property transactions, development, leasing and conveyancing across Australia and India, plus development and investment advisory in Malaysia.
Employment & Mobility
Employment contracts, workplace policies, sponsorship and global mobility - covering Australian, Indian and Malaysian workplace law.
Dispute Resolution
Commercial disputes, arbitration and litigation in each jurisdiction, plus enforcement of cross-border judgments and arbitral awards.
Cross-Border, FIRB & ECTA
FIRB-linked Australian work, ECTA structuring with India, ASEAN structuring with Malaysia, and group-level cross-border planning under one mandate.

“We had been working with a large online firm for three years and felt like a small client. Collins Quarters treated our $22M acquisition as if it were their most important mandate. The ECTA structuring advice alone saved us months and significant duty costs.”
