Expertise
Our Expertise.
Senior-led counsel across seven disciplines. Every matter led by a partner, with direct access to senior leadership throughout.
Our Services
Every matter we handle.
Business & Commercial.
Contracts, shareholder agreements, corporate structure, acquisitions, and the regulatory complexity of running a real business. For founders, operators and investors who need counsel that moves at commercial speed.
Family Law.
Divorce, property settlement, children's arrangements, and binding financial agreements. Considered counsel through the moments that matter most: calm, human, and outcome-focused.
Property & Conveyancing.
Commercial and residential purchase, sale, transfer, and subdivision. Title due diligence, off-the-plan transactions, vendor advocacy, and complex ownership structures.
Litigation & Disputes.
Commercial, civil, and criminal litigation, from first letter of demand through to hearing. Equally comfortable settling through principled negotiation or taking a matter all the way when necessary.
VET & Higher Education.
Sale, purchase, compliance, and governance of RTOs and higher education providers. TEQSA and ASQA dealings, course accreditation, institutional due diligence, and education business franchising.
Wills, Estates & Probates.
Estate planning, superannuation nominations, disability trusts, powers of attorney, and contested estates. Protecting what you've built, and those you're building it for.
Why Cohen
Senior counsel on every matter.
Partner-level strategy
Every matter is led by a senior lawyer from first instruction to resolution. You know who is handling your file, and they know your matter inside out.
Outcomes over hours
We measure success by what you achieve, not by the hours we bill. Clear advice, direct communication, and counsel genuinely aligned with your interests.
A foundation of trust
Cohen Lawyers has built its reputation across Melbourne CBD and Doncaster through repeat instructions and referrals from clients who trust us with their most important matters.
Our Approach
We work with fewer clients, so each matter gets the attention it deserves.
A deliberate model. A smaller client load means every matter gets a senior lawyer, not a conveyor belt. It's how we've maintained a 5.0 client rating and built client relationships that span generations.
