Services - Logan & Partners: Law and Advisory

LEGAL Services

Criminal and Traffic Law

Criminal allegations can have serious and lasting consequences, including damage to reputation and livelihood. Early access to clear, confidential legal advice is critical. Logan & Partners provides strategic criminal law advice and representation from the earliest stages of a police investigation through to the resolution of proceedings.

We advise clients who have been contacted by police, requested to attend an interview, arrested, or charged. Each matter is assessed carefully, including the evidence, applicable legislation, and procedural issues. Clients are advised on their rights and obligations, the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution case, and the options available, including whether early intervention may limit exposure or resolve the matter before charges are laid.

Clients should not make admissions, provide statements, participate in police interviews, or enter a plea without first obtaining legal advice. All criminal matters are handled with strict confidentiality, discretion, and professionalism. Logan & Partners is committed to protecting clients’ rights, ensuring procedural fairness, and providing clear, practical advice within the Australian criminal justice system.

Drug offences
Assault and other violent offences

Pleas and sentencing
All other summary and indictable offences

property law

Property transactions require careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the legal framework governing real estate. Even minor oversights during the conveyancing process can lead to delays, disputes, or financial loss.

firearms law

All Australian states maintain strict laws governing the ownership, possession, and use of firearms. In Tasmania and Victoria, the Firearms Act and associated regulations set out detailed eligibility criteria, application processes, and ongoing compliance obligations for licence holders. Not all applicants will qualify for a firearms licence, and the application process can be complex. Obtaining legal advice at an early stage can significantly improve the prospects of a successful outcome.

We assist individuals and licence holders to navigate firearms licensing framework with clarity and confidence. Our firearms law practice supports clients in understanding and meeting their obligations under the Firearms Act while managing suitability, compliance, and enforcement issues.

With experience advising on firearms licensing, compliance, and decision-making by licensing authorities, we provide practical guidance on applications, ongoing licence obligations, and engagement with police and licensing bodies. We act for both applicants and existing licence holders, including where concerns have been raised or enforcement action has commenced.

Our key services include:

Firearms Licensing Advice – Advice on eligibility, suitability, and statutory requirements.

Licence Applications & Renewals – Preparation and management of firearms licence applications and renewals.

Refusals & Appeals – Advice and representation in reviews and appeals before the Magistrates Court.

Show Cause Notices – Responding to alleged breaches of licence conditions or firearms legislation.

Licence Compliance – Ongoing advice to ensure continued compliance with licence conditions and storage requirements.

Authority Liaison & Representation – Engagement and advocacy with police and firearms licensing authorities.

Through clear advice and effective advocacy, we support clients to meet their obligations, protect their rights, and achieve the best possible outcome under Tasmanian firearms law.

business and commercial law

Engaging an experienced lawyer is a critical part of any business purchase or sale. The structure of a transaction, the approach taken, and the attention given to detail can often determine whether a deal proceeds smoothly or is exposed to unnecessary risk. Skilled legal guidance ensures that your interests are protected and that transactions are managed efficiently from commencement through to completion.

Logan & Partners advises clients across a broad range of commercial and transactional matters. We act for buyers, sellers, lenders, borrowers, franchisors, franchisees, and business owners, providing clear, strategic advice tailored to each client’s commercial objectives. Our approach is practical, commercially focused, and aligned with our clients’ long-term goals.

Commercial transactions commonly involve a range of interconnected legal and practical issues, including due diligence, financing structures, leasing and property arrangements, employment matters, intellectual property, licensing, and taxation considerations. We identify and address these issues early, manage risk proactively, and ensure transactions are legally sound and commercially sensible.

Key areas of practice include:

Business and asset purchases and sales
Share sales and acquisitions
Loan agreements and security documentation
Private lending and borrower representation

litigation and dispute resolution

Our litigation approach is focused on achieving timely and effective resolution of disputes while protecting our clients’ legal and commercial interests. We recognise that litigation can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive, and we prioritise early and efficient resolution wherever possible. Where appropriate, we seek to resolve matters before proceedings are commenced through negotiation, mediation, or other dispute resolution processes.

Where court proceedings are necessary, we provide clear, practical advice on the merits of the case, the likely timeframe, and anticipated costs. Clients are guided through each stage of the litigation process and supported in making informed, strategic decisions aligned with their objectives.

Litigation frequently involves participation in court-ordered mediation, a confidential process facilitated by an independent mediator aimed at resolving disputes without the need for a final hearing. Many matters resolve at this stage. We prepare clients thoroughly for mediation, advise on settlement strategy, and represent their interests throughout. If a matter proceeds beyond mediation, we continue to advocate decisively through the courts, applying strategic insight and practical judgment to achieve the best possible outcome.

Key areas of practice include:

Commercial and contractual disputes
Business and shareholder disputes
Debt recovery and insolvency-related litigation
Property, leasing, and land disputes
Construction and building disputes
Professional negligence (excluding personal injury)
Defamation and reputation management
Employment and workplace disputes
Regulatory, licensing, and administrative disputes
Equity, trust, and estate disputes
Injunctions, urgent applications, and interlocutory proceedings
Enforcement of judgments and court orders
