We are pleased to welcome Jason Browne to the team at Bugden Allen Lawyers (“BAL”).

Jason is a Partner in our Queensland office and will be spearheading our expansion into the Gold Coast property market.

Jason was a senior member of King and Wood Mallesons’ market leading real estate practice, and prior to that General Counsel of Walker Corporation. He specialises in property development law, planning & environment law, structured titles and property related litigation.

David Bugden, CEO of BAL commented on Jason’s appointment:

“Jason’s appointment as Partner is a fantastic endorsement of our firm’s ability to attract top talent. Jason was considering some interesting opportunities before joining Bugden Allen Lawyers, but ultimately chose us due to our tech-focused approach and our speciality in this growing sector of property law.”

Jason’s practice predominantly focuses on complex commercial and residential property development projects, joint ventures, property financing, leasing, hotel investment and management and complex titling property projects for mixed use development projects.

Jason Browne commented on his new appointment:

“I’m delighted and humbled to join the partnership of Bugden Allen Lawyers. Working alongside Gary Bugden and Michael Allen, Australia’s leading experts on strata title law is an exciting opportunity given the exponential growth in this constantly evolving form of residential living in Australia.

As a newly established firm free from the embedded constraints of the traditional law firm, we are able to offer our clients useable and industry specific technology which complement our unmatched legal expertise. As a former General Counsel, I’m very aware of the need for legal services to be delivered to our clients in the form, manner and transparency that they want and deserve. Our ability to genuinely answer this requirement is what separates our offering from our competitors and so I’m excited to be a part of it.”
