What People Say About Us

The Mining and Heritage Legal team has a good mix of legal and commercial experience which enables them to take a practical and pragmatic view to providing legal advice which I appreciate. They have assisted me in a number of areas including Sale and Purchase Agreements, Offtake Contracts and Joint Venture Agreements and have been responsive in turning around documents quickly when transactions have dictated that to be necessary.

Mark Hancock, Executive Director, FE Limited

Faced with a time-bound, multi-million dollar sale and purchase agreement with a major international counter-party, Vulcan Drilling engaged Mining + Heritage Legal to provide a fast, insightful review and ranking of key deal points. We relied on that advice to guide closure of the transaction and many of the items that were highlighted by Jack Cullity have since proven to be material risks that we were able to mitigate, manage or avoid. The combination of sound legal advice and commercial nous is exceedingly hard to find and was greatly appreciated.

Simon Johnson, Founder + Director, Vulcan Drilling Pty Ltd

I know Jack well and have worked extensively with him on many transactions over a number of years. These include acquisitions and divestments, infrastructure sharing arrangements and native title negotiations. Jack is a very good listener, communicator and negotiator and I have seen him in action on both sides of the table. He makes for a great advocate, thinks strategically and has an excellent understanding of the commercial issues that are important in any mining related transaction.

Ken Brinsden, Non-Executive Chairman & Director, Patriot Battery Metals Inc

Mining + Heritage Legal assisted Kidson Energy to negotiate a number of native title agreements for its oil and gas applications in the Pilbara. We had been encountering challenges due to delays and management changes. Through Jack's counsel all the outstanding issues were addressed through a collaborative approach backed by clear and reasoned communication. I would highly recommend engaging Mining + Heritage Legal on all native title negotiations regardless of the level of complexity. Throughout Kidson's engagement, Jack demonstrated an in depth knowledge and experience of both the legal and practical issues, allowing us to achieve a successful resolution in a prompt manner.
