The new additions will work from the firm’s Sydney and Melbourne offices
Colin Biggers & Paisley (CBP) has boosted its property and development team with the appointments of John Douglas and Camille Lee.
Douglas re-joins the firm as a special counsel in Sydney. He brings a wealth of experience in commercial property law matters, including commercial, industrial, and retail leasing and property acquisition and disposal. He regularly acts for both landlords and tenants, which the firm said enables him to deeply understand leasing transactions from different perspectives.
His clients include listed global companies, high net wealth private corporation landlords with substantial landholdings, real estate investment trust landlords, and Commonwealth and state government departments.
