Testimonials

“Rob Hastie’s vast experience and knowledge of the Pubs Code sets him apart and makes him our go-to for such matters – highly recommended”

“We instructed Rob Hastie on an unusual matter relating to recovery of land. As well as a competitive fee quote Mr Hastie’s advice was fulsome and sensitive to the individual circumstances and interests of multiple stakeholders and the media. He brings a fresh perspective, having crossed over from private practice, is well prepared and does not leave anything to chance. He is my go-to Counsel on a range of property related issues and never disappoints.”

“Rob (Hastie) provides a first-class service with excellent client engagement, offering insightful and comprehensive advice on areas of speciality that are second to none. Rob has an excellent skill of distilling complex and detailed matters into easily relatable and pragmatic commercial advice.”
