Services
We're not your traditional lawyers. We don't speak legal jargon at you, we talk to you in language you can understand. We're professional, experienced and friendly. We all enjoy our work and keep up to date with the latest developments in our practice areas. Whether it's providing you with quality legal advice or helping our community, we're about giving back to the region we live in.
Our expert team acts for small businesses, private companies, property developers and local government. We have extensive experience in property development, large scale subdivisions, employee disputes and succession planning. To make your job easier and save you time, we provide comprehensive legal advice - so you can focus on what you do best, running your business.
When you undertake a property development, the first thing you need to do is engage a property lawyer to ensure that you meet compliance targets under Australian contract law. Our property lawyers can prepare the necessary contract agreements, and do the negotiating with local councils and referral authorities.
Effective succession planning helps you make the most of your estate planning strategies. Especially when you're looking at moving out of the business either by selling it to a third party, to a family member or retiring. Succession planning focuses on continued success in times of change.

You can be left exposed when the personal circumstances of those involved in the ownership or management of your business change through divorce, illness, death, retirement or otherwise.Succession planning is a big picture examination of your personal and business assets and responsibilities and identifying how best they can be smoothly managed in all types of situations.
In providing practical HR and employment law advice, we act as your trusted advisors. Being proactive in HR and up to date with employment law is a worthwhile investment for any business. Katherine Hietbrink, our employment lawyer has also worked for many years in generalist HR and management roles - we understand business and how to manage staff.

Report
We relied on Robertson Hyetts Castlemaine Office for the administration of our Mothers estate. The performance of Vesna Pocuca our Solicitor was exemplary. Very professional with her advice and guidance, highly responsive to our queries and requests, and accurate with all the details.
Greta Sabatino who handled our conveyancing needs also provided a very professional and prompt service.
All our contacts with the support team at Robertson Hyetts Castlemaine was of a similar high standard. It was a pleasure to deal with such good people at a difficult time for us. We would not hesitate to recommend

John Wellington and his Team professionally and competently assisted me with advice and the provision of legal documentation in undertaking a four lot subdivision and the conveyance (sale) of 3 allotments. Services included preparation of a Section 173 Agreement (as a condition of the Planning Permit) and securing Council and other Authorities' approval thereto as well as preparing Contracts of Sale and meeting the Land Title Office requirements for the new allotments and the transfers to the new owners.
I would have no hesitation in engaging Robertson Hyetts to again act for me and would recommend

As the POA for my mother I had occasion to call upon the services of Robertson Hyetts Castlemaine branch on numerous occasions. At all time the professional with whom I dealt was thorough, punctual and completed the required business with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of decorum within the expected time frame. A pleasure to work with such competent and professional people. Thank you.

I would advise anyone to steer clear of these guys, especially if your looking at having your Will looked after by them. We had the unfortunate passing of a loved one and after receiving the finished tittle it was named incorrectly. After several emails back and forth being lied to about who was responsible for the incorrect tittle as well as offered a “it doesn’t matter what is on the tittle” (sorry it’s a legal document) it matters! We were offered a cheap fee to fix it. Yet again the mistake wasn’t ours. After seeking advice from another lawyer who gave us proper advise we had the
