A property incentive may look straightforward, but its contractual and land transfer duty implications can be more complex than expected.

From conditional settlement discounts to developer incentives and non-monetary benefits, understanding how an arrangement is structured is essential.

In this carousel, we highlight key considerations for purchasers, vendors and developers, including SRO guidance, duty implications and Victoria’s 2026 property-price transparency reforms.

Key takeaway: A rebate does not automatically reduce land transfer duty. The terms, consideration and market value must be carefully assessed.

This World Teachers' Day, we pay tribute to those who guided us, in the lecture hall and in practice

Law is learned in two places: the lecture hall and the workplace. The first gives us doctrine. The second gives us judgment, passed on by senior practitioners who let juniors watch, question, draft, fail and try again. In our profession, mentors are often our most important teachers.

A good mentor shares practical knowledge no manual captures, models ethics through everyday example, gives honest feedback, opens doors, and builds the next generation of practitioners.

Great mentorship is a partnership.

The mentor offers experience, patience and opportunity. The mentee offers effort, humility, reliability and respect.

Today we celebrate the mentors who have shaped our journeys and express our gratitude for the knowledge, guidance and opportunities they have shared with us.

Building Your Own Path in Law

Our Principal and Founder, Dr Apurva Kirti Sharma, had the privilege of moderating the Women in the Business of Law Series, hosted by Victorian Women Lawyers in collaboration with
Justitia Lawyers & Consultants - an evening created for women considering the leap into starting their own legal practice.

The panel brought together women who have built their own firms, sharing honest insights on the challenges, decisions and lessons that shape that journey.

Starting a practice takes more than legal expertise - it takes vision, resilience and the confidence to build something on your own terms. For anyone standing at that starting point, hearing from those who've walked the path first can make all the difference.

It begins with an idea, a decision, and the courage to take that first step.

Thank you to Victorian Women Lawyers and Justitia Lawyers and Consultants for creating this space for the next generation of women in the business of law.
