Thomas Garner
Principal Solicitor & Partner
I am a commercial lawyer, specialising in Property and Development, Real Estate, Commercial Litigation, and Business Law. My legal journey commenced within the Competition and Consumer Law team at Arnold Bloch Leibler. After graduating with Honors from Monash University, I transitioned to the in-house practice of Lakeside Financial, focusing on financial advisory and property law matters.
Upon the establishment of Sather Legal, I have been actively involved in advising on numerous intricate transactions. Notable among these are the $60 million acquisition and proposed development of 14 luxury residences on Sydney’s Kurraba Point waterfront, as well as the $25 million sale of commercial enterprises in Melbourne’s Cheltenham.
My expertise extends beyond advisory roles in Property and Development. I have successfully represented clients in various legal forums, including the Supreme Court, County Court, Magistrates Court, and Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). Additionally, I have achieved favourable outcomes in financial complaints matters within the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
In the realm of Real Estate, I pride myself on fostering excellent relationships with clients. By maintaining clear communication and ensuring a meticulous review and settlement process, I strive to alleviate the stress often associated with property transactions. My commitment is to deliver comprehensive legal support across diverse areas of commercial law, ensuring my clients’ interests are well-represented and protected.
