About

Advisers for the hard questions in business and tax.

Melbourne Legal Advisory is a boutique commercial and tax legal practice. We take on the technical, high-stakes problems that general advisers refer on — and we resolve them.

Our approach

Built on tested, real-world experience.

Melbourne Legal Advisory was built to give business owners and their advisers genuine specialist help with the problems that keep them up at night — the tax position on a transaction, the structure that no longer fits, the dispute that needs to end.

Our advice draws on tested ex-Big Four and government experience. That background lets us combine the technical rigour of national advisory practice with a practical understanding of how regulators and counterparties actually behave.

We are proud of a network that reaches across Melbourne’s professional community, including alumni of the University of Melbourne and Melbourne High School — and we bring that same standard of care to every matter we accept.
