Covenants

Land covenants can preserve value—or prevent progress. Whether you're seeking to enforce a restrictive covenant or remove one that no longer serves its purpose, these disputes require both legal precision and strategic force.

We advise developers, landowners, and commercial stakeholders on complex issues involving removal or modification of restrictive covenants under the Property Law Act 2007, challenges based on changing neighbourhood character or public interest, disputes between neighbouring landowners, enforcement of positive and negative covenants, historical title restrictions and
legacy instruments.

Our team is known for its command of land law and its skill in navigating both negotiation and litigation. We act decisively, particularly in applications to the Environment Court and High Court, where the stakes can involve multimillion-dollar developments or significant property rights.

We clear the way—legally and commercially—for land to realise its full potential.
