Overview

Why Lindsay Taylor Lawyers?

Lindsay Taylor Lawyers is a leading specialist law firm in the areas of planning, environment, local government, and administrative law.

We assist public and private entities in navigating complex state and commonwealth laws and regulations, striving to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our clients include local government authorities, state government agencies, and major private, public, and institutional developers.

Our specialized focus ensures that clients receive recognised expertise in our practice areas, along with strategic legal advice and guidance that is unmatched in the market.

Working with sophisticated clients

LTL was founded on the understanding that sophisticated clients value high-quality solutions, accurate and practical advice, and collaborative relationships with their legal advisers over a national or international legal “brand.”

Stepping away from a top-tier firm and its associated costs and bureaucracy, LTL was developed to ensure that clients in both the public and private sectors could access top-tier legal advice without being priced out.

We understand that our clients have a choice of law firms and we strive to ensure that their choice is LTL.

Two decades later, with over 95% of our work being return business, we are proud of the outcomes we’ve helped achieve and value the continued support our public and private sector clients have shown us year after year.

Perspective gained from acting for both the regulated and the regulators

We pride ourselves on being legal advisers to both the public and private sectors.

The breadth of our client base and the depth of our experience allows us to see legal and commercial problems from all perspectives.

This insight provides us with the expertise and practical solutions needed to help clients achieve better legal and commercial outcomes.

A ‘safe pair of hands’ for complex situations

We believe that legal advisers should facilitate clients in reaching their objectives, not hinder them.

Our advice is delivered quickly and cost-effectively, with practical steps that can usually be implemented immediately.

We maintain that even the most complex legal concepts should be explained clearly and plainly, outlining the risks associated with any course of action.

This approach has earned us a reputation for delivering top-quality legal advice in a professional, timely, and cost-effective manner.

We help our clients navigate risks, and are proud that when the stakes are high, they turn to LTL as their ‘safe pair of hands.’
