Veterinary Services

Protecting and growing your practice is at the core of what we do

Veterinary services

As a veterinarian, it’s easy to get caught up in the needs and well-being of your clients and their pets. That’s just who you are and what you do. It’s why you became a veterinarian.

It is also not easy to find a lawyer who already understands your professional life and industry, the demands on you as a vet, your practice environment and your values.

This is why we have established a veterinary services team. Our focus is on supporting and building strong long term trusted advisor relationships, which our vet clients find ultimately more beneficial and rewarding than one-off transactional type engagements.

We understand that you are time-poor. We understand that your profession is demanding. We tailor our legal services accordingly. We are available to advise you before, during or after your busy practice day.

Our advice is timely, clear, succinct, and in comprehensive terms. In instructing us, you have the peace of mind that professional fees are agreed at the outset, so there are no surprises.

Our firm is structured so that we manage legal projects and services with our clients in a way that delivers efficient, innovative, and effective outcomes.

In addition to being there when things go wrong, we focus on prevention and best practice. We understand that it is hard to think about the future, but it’s worse if you haven’t. Having robust but straightforward agreements, processes, procedures and plans in place from the outset prevent disputes and unnecessary costs down the track.
