Luke is a commercial lawyer who works closely with clients to make sure that the purchase or sale of their property or business, proceeds as smoothly as possible.
“To put it simply, I like helping people do something positive. Buying and selling property is exciting, and it’s fun to be a part of that in someone’s life.”

With over ten years experience, he has a good feel for understanding people and helping them make sense of the legal processes involved in their matter, and how it applies to them.

“In conveyancing, communication is key, whether it’s between us and our client, or us and the other party. I like to make sure that my clients are fully aware of the process and understand what’s going on with their matters, without overloading them with unnecessary information.”

Luke is no stranger to hard work, being husband to an oncology nurse, and the dad of three young kids.
