What our clients say

“Safari Group is a significant hotel developer. We engaged Julia Batchelor-Smith of Batchelor*Smith to assist with a messy Body Corporate Committee issue. We needed to protect the integrity of our development, and investors’ interests.

Batchelor*Smith lawyers have a proven ability to understand the complex Unit Titles Act space that we were tangled in.

I can say with confidence that Julia’s guidance was clear, concise and focused on driving a pragmatic outcome. We achieved the outcome we sought, with all motions submitted being passed and a new body corporate committee being appointed to drive a new path for this property. Considering the difficulty of getting sixty-seven unit owners onto one page, the outcome was a great success.  

Julia’s dedicated and responsive handling of both us as a client, and the issues at hand, was outstanding. I would be more than happy to provide a reference for Batchelor*Smith to anyone wanting to discuss my experience.”
