Commercial and Property Law at Barry Nilsson

The property services sector - acquisition, development, leasing, management, financing and sales - is the market sector in which we specialise. At Barry & Nilsson, our large specialist Commercial & Property practice is lead by 2 partners and we have provided legal services in this discipline since the firm’s establishment in 1963.

The related commercial and dispute resolution matters are dealt with by partners and staff in this group rather than being handled by a different section, which frequently happens in other firms. This gives our clients and lawyers an undisputed advantage. Our clients don’t have to brief separate lawyers because our property lawyers have the skills to advise on a broad range of related issues. Additionally, clients receive much greater continuity of representation and our services are more cost-effective as a result.

From our lawyers’ perspective, the advice they are able to give because of their broader role in clients’ work is highly commercial and pragmatic, and takes full account of the environment in which the client operates.


Like a number of other law firms, at Barry & Nilsson we believe we really understand our clients’ business. Unlike others, the proof for making this claim is clearly demonstrated in almost every thing we do for our clients. This includes:

  • Keeping matters moving, so that deadlines are met, delays that result in lost rental or other revenue are minimised and legal bills are lowered;

  • Presenting options and making practical recommendations based on our extensive experience. This helps our clients make decisions and implement them;

  • Knowing what options are feasible and where to make compromises to get deals done; and

  • Working closely with other service providers to ensure advice is consistent and capable of being implemented.

While all clients expect the quality and accuracy of legal advice to be a given, what they really appreciate is lawyers who truly know a client’s business. We go a step further and build this into the way we do business and give advice.
