Client Reviews
“We highly recommend Rouse Lawyers”
“Camfil Farr is a multinational organisation and we use lawyers across the world. Rouse Lawyers, was chosen as alternative to the top tier, and have acted for us in a number of matters concerning our Australian operations. We have found their strategic advice and alternate approaches to the law to be highly valuable and unique. We highly recommend Rouse Lawyers”
"Great knowledge, timely advice"
Rouse Lawyers has acted for us for the past 6 years, including franchising work, lease reviews and sales of certain businesses. Peter and the team not only have great knowledge, timely advice and have provided successful resolutions, but they also spend the time to learn not only about our businesses, but us as individuals.
"Robert was outstanding"
Robert was outstanding. He was pro-active with his views and was very forthcoming with the approaches that should be taken and possible ramifications. He kept us informed all the way, was very definitive on things and just handled every little bump and left field issue along the way in his stride. The way he communicated with the Australian Taxation Office was exceptional.
