Our Services

Cullen Macleod combines a high level of expertise with sound understanding of real-world commercial considerations to deliver our clients informed & practical service.

Our lawyers’ experience helps guide our clients through the often complex legal aspects of the commercial and business world so that they can focus on the fundamentals of their business while knowing the important legal details are covered.

We provide our clients with commercially-focused, practical solutions in the complex area of dispute resolution. Our commercial dispute resolution and litigation team combines extensive technical and legal knowledge with a depth of experience across a variety of sectors.

Our aim is to assist our clients to avoid disputes wherever possible, but we realise that disputes are sometimes an inevitable part of doing business.

We have the expertise to provide advice in relation to anticipated legal issues and respond to all your interests in commercial disputes that you or your business may face.

The breakdown of a relationship can be a stressful and confusing experience for you and your family.

Cullen Macleod’s Family Law Team will provide you with empathetic and professional advice to empower you to make the right decisions for your future. While separation can be a difficult process emotionally, it is also an opportunity for a new beginning and a fresh start.

Our aim is to secure amicable and cost-effective outcomes for our clients, without the need for litigation in the Family Court of Western Australia if at all possible. In situations where a negotiated agreement is not achievable, or in cases involving urgency or family violence, we will guide and support you through the litigation process. We refer to the Family Court as a “Court of last resort,” as we encourage our clients to consider all other available avenues for settlement, before Court proceedings are started.

Cullen Macleod’s franchising team acts for franchisors and franchisees across a broad range of industries including retail, food and beverage, vending and cleaning services.

Our team understands the Franchising Code of Conduct and the many regulatory requirements that apply to franchise arrangements.

For franchisees, we provide advice on the franchise agreement and the disclosure document. Also, as our franchising team is closely associated with our commercial and property teams, we often provide a total service to our clients including advice concerning the purchase of a franchise business, leasing advice as well as advice on the franchise documents.
