Arnold Bloch Leibler is a premium Australian commercial law firm renowned for advising clients on their most important transactions, commercial issues and disputes.

The firm also has a dedicated public interest practice providing advice to charities and not-for-profit organisations relating to significant legal, social, environmental and cultural issues.

Our clients push the envelope when it comes to making their mark in the built environment, with a focus on commercial, residential and industrial work. From high-end hotels to residential skyscrapers, they need out of the box legal advice, at times extending to aviation law where the sky is literally the limit.

Our national Property & Development practice is led by a team of pre-eminent partners who have gained a reputation for understanding our client's needs and achieving outstanding results for them.

The firm's property group adopts a consolidated approach to property and development matters, which is critical for managing timeframes and containing costs. Moreover, the group is unique in terms of its collective experience and depth of expertise, having represented clients in a large number of landmark property and development projects around Australia for nearly half a century.

We advise on the negotiation, drafting, management and enforcement of building and development agreements. Our objective is to provide clients with the legal foundation necessary to assist clients to minimise risks and maximise returns from a construction and development project. Our experience in construction litigation also assists clients to manage and resolve potential disputes as economically and favourably as possible.
