Private Clients

Overview

Hall & Wilcox is an experienced advisor to private clients and understands that any issue or problem can require consideration and knowledge of many different areas of law. Using a cross practice approach, Hall & Wilcox brings together lawyers with experience and expertise in taxation, commercial transactions, superannuation, property, asset protection, family law, and estate planning and administration, to provide an across-the-board offering of legal services.

One of our competitive advantages is our taxation expertise, which is central to effective asset protection and structuring. In addition to our technical expertise, many of our tax lawyers are experienced accountants which enhances our ability to review, understand and advise on often complex business structures and financial statements.

In relation to private business and family business clients, our advisors are skilled at negotiating and balancing the demands of a business itself, with the needs and desires of the owners and individual family members.

We are mindful of the often emotional nature of dealing with a client’s personal affairs and are skilled at navigating through a range of issues with compassion and sensitivity to achieve desired and appropriate outcomes. Our expertise is always informed by the latest changes in legislation in relevant areas, including corporate, tax, bankruptcy, family law, wills and probate law.
