About
John is one of the founding partners of Mahoneys. John has a passion for property law and has developed a particular expertise in management rights and helping resident managers throughout Australia.
John’s range of clients is as diverse as the specific areas of law in which he specialises. He acts for one of the state’s largest land developers, as well as other developers of various sizes. He acts for a number of clients holding large portfolios of management rights businesses.
The knowledge John has developed in management rights has enabled him to become a trusted advisor to many of his clients and this has resulted in many referrals and a lot of repeat business. His experience enables him to quickly understand complex matters and steer his clients to an outcome that suits their situation. He is often involved in dispute resolution where clients use his expertise to negotiate outcomes to problems without the need for expensive litigation.
John has over 35 years’ experience in most areas of property and business law. He has handled an extensive range of property and business purchase/sale transactions from vacant residential land to multimillion dollar commercial properties, suburban homes to huge caravan parks, small hardware businesses to large multi-storey hotels and major management rights transactions.
