We are a boutique commercial property law firm based in Brisbane, providing advice nationally.

With more than 50 years in the commercial property industry, our collective experience and skills ensure you can rely on the Arena Law team with confidence. The team is comprised of a diverse group of lawyers with varied legal backgrounds who pride themselves on a hands-on approach, practical solutions and creative problem solving, which in turn ensures sustained client confidence and market leading outcomes.

Our extensive experience is leveraged to add significant value to our clients’ transactions.

The Arena Law practice was born and raised from within one of Australia’s leading property investment groups, giving the team exposure and experience that is largely, if not entirely, unparalleled in Australia. Rarely does a law practice have the opportunity to be intimately involved in the entire process of property acquisition, ownership and disposal – not just acting on behalf of their client but being actively engaged in the assessment and decision-making processes. This exposure translates to a team of legal professionals who have a deep understanding of the key drivers, what affects value and what truly matters in a commercial property transaction.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
