Personal Experience

Rob is a highly experienced corporate and business lawyer who now has a particular focus on estate and tax planning, trusts and structuring for high-net-worth individuals. He is rated in Best Lawyers in Australia for his advice to clients on Wealth Management/Succession Planning.

After initial training in a firm specialising in trusts and franchising, Rob was the Group Legal Advisor for the listed multinational Nicholas Kiwi Limited (which was taken over by Sara Lee Corporation).

Following that activity, he re-joined the private profession as a Partner and then Consultant to a major Melbourne law firm.

More recently, he was for 6 years the Principal of his own firm, specialising in private client advisory matters before joining Hunt & Hunt as a Special Counsel in July 2019.

Rob acts not only for small and medium companies, but also for various professional practices, including doctors, lawyers and architects.

He is particularly regarded for his ability to clearly explain to clients the often-competing tax and structuring considerations concerning their financial affairs and asset holdings.  This is particularly important in ensuring the appropriate balance between attention to details and practical, common-sense outcomes.

Rob heads the Estate Planning Group of Hunt & Hunt in Melbourne.
