Mackinnon Jacobs Lawyers

Mackinnon Jacobs Lawyers originated in 1919, when Duncan Mackinnon established a practice after returning from Word War I. The firm, then known as Mackinnon & Colles and located in Queen Street, Melbourne, soon moved to new offices in Collins Street and became Duncan Mackinnon & Co. Although Duncan Mackinnon died in 1957, his name has been retained as an acknowledgment of his founding contribution to the firm.

Banking and finance can be complicated and scary. When you're dealing with life savings or making one of the biggest purchases in your life, for example, a new home, it makes sense to gain solid, legal advice. Banking and finance law focuses on the contractual relationship between the lender and the borrower.

A commercial or retail lease is a contractual agreement that sets out the rights and responsibilities for landlords and tenants of an enterprise or business. So, once the lease is signed, it is legally binding for many years. Therefore, it is extremely important to get it right from the beginning. From a landlord's perspective, a good lease has maximum obligations on the tenant for maintenance, repairs, make good and outgoings.
