Best Hooper Lawyers

Best Hooper Lawyers is a Melbourne CBD firm with a strong property development and planning profile alongside commercial, corporate, contract, leasing and dispute work.

Its longstanding involvement in development, land and commercial property matters means transactions and disputes are considered alongside project timing, approvals, leasing relationships and the broader development process.

Its property practice covers residential and commercial transactions, ownership arrangements, development issues and supporting documentation, with careful management of due diligence, conditions, deadlines and settlement requirements.

The firm’s commercial practice covers business structures, transactions, trading relationships and day-to-day operating issues, with advice framed around the client's commercial objectives and the practical steps needed to implement a decision.

Its corporate practice covers governance, shareholder and director arrangements, restructures, investment, acquisitions and sales, with attention to authority, documentation, allocation of risk and the company’s wider commercial position.

Dispute resolution starts with the outcome the client needs to protect, then compares negotiation, mediation, formal claims and litigation so the chosen pathway remains proportionate, commercially sensible and enforceable.
