​
Another excellent presentation to put complicated matters into plain language that can be understood. You clearly explained the benefits and tax aspects of the structure you suggest for property development when involving individual taxpayers - relevant to most tax practitioners.

​Clients and industries
Our team of tax lawyers, commercial lawyers and litigation lawyers deliver innovative, practical and trusted solutions to clients Australia wide. Over the last 30 years, we have developed niche markets within a number of industries which have benefited tremendously from our legal expertise.
​
Our clients are mostly private family businesses and are found all over Australia. They are business owners and operators, professional services firms as well as rural business and primary producers. They include cane farmers in North Queensland and Northern New South Wales, grain and cotton farmers on the Darling Downs and West New South Wales, cattle producers in the Gulf, mining related industries in mid-west WA, the Pilbara and Central Qld, rigging businesses at the Sunshine Coast, engineers in Sydney, road transport services and property developers throughout Australia.
Areas of Law​
We could list the areas of law that we work in but that’s no different to any other law firm and doesn’t tell you anything about us. If you want to work with someone who is like you and want to find out what we can do to help you, call us or email us. It’s that simple. Here’s a hint though – we are specialists in taxation law, structuring, estate planning, asset protection and litigation.
​
Areas we visit​
We have offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth but where else do we go? Anywhere. That’s our answer, if we can help we will be there – and we don’t charge you to get there. That’s the way we work and have done so for 30 years.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
​
Amazing outcome with our ATO resolution. Thanks to all at Cleary Hoare!
​
- Michael B, Qld
​
The Joint Venture and Development contracts the other lawyers gave us were the most complicated and convoluted documents I ever came across. I thank you for clarifying and ensuring that, within all the legal jargon, the merits of the documents are in line with the commercial and protections objectives provided to you by my family and myself. A great relief.
- Remi S, Qld

As a family business we have truly valued our relationship with Cleary Hoare. They are quick to respond to our questions and provide legal advice in a way that is easy for us to understand. We find great comfort in knowing we have the Cleary Hoare team behind us and our business.

Careers
The main reason people join our team is because they like our firm's values.
We are passionate about what we do. We are enthusiastic about our practice areas. We get excited about solving our clients' problems. We really love what we do and so enjoy coming into work everyday. If someone loses some of that passion, we take steps to help bring back the motivation. We change around teams, we facilitate additional training, we branch out into new practice areas.
It sounds cliché but our people are our greatest asset. We will support you to achieve your best and reach higher. We work as a team to assist each another. If you have a passion or an interest you want to pursue, you will be encouraged to reach your goals and you will get the help you need. All of our Principals have come from within the Firm. ​ Cleary Hoare are leaders, not followers. We always aim to find creative, bold and ground breaking solutions. We approach our work with ingenuity and imagination. We never just do things the way they have always been done. Innovation is part of who we are. So if you think 'outside the square', you will be a welcome addition to our team. ​ We strive to achieve excellence in all areas of our business. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding results. Other firms dream about our depth of knowledge – and we share that knowledge. By purposely structuring smaller teams, you will have frequent contact with Principals who are experts in their fields. We conduct four in-house training sessions per month, most of which are CPD accredited. You can be assured within the Cleary Hoare environment that your learning curve will be highly relevant, steep and rewarding.​
