Several years ago, we were recommended Hillhouse Legal Partners by another of our professional advisors. After that first experience, Hillhouse Legal Partners 'sold' us with their professionalism, knowledge, diligence and efficiency. Michael Morris and the Hillhouse team have since continued to provide us with valuable, thorough and straightforward advice and representation for our property purchases, contractual documentation, HR matters and ultimately any aspect of our cattle and property enterprise that we require. We, too, would recommend Michael and Hillhouse Legal Partners to others in our industry and to anyone seeking proficient and caring legal representatives.

We have been clients of Hillhouse Legal Partners since 2014. During that time Hillhouse has assisted us with a range of matters that have arisen in the operation of our stud cattle and grazing enterprise – estate planning advice, HR advice, the purchase of our main grazing property, negotiation of an agreement with a solar farm company and negotiation of a conduct and compensation agreement for CSG exploration. Michael Morris in particular has demonstrated an eagerness to ensure he has a solid understanding of our operation and how things work in the bush, which has translated into advice that is practical and can be applied in the real world. The easy to approach team at Hillhouse has been able to meet all of our legal needs and we look forward to working with them well into the future.
