It is the way we communicate and talk to people that help us to build relationships with Council Staff, Councillors, the community, experts, other lawyers and the Land and Environment Court that ultimately leads to approvals. 25 years of listening, responding, communicating and solving issues has given McKees the skills to represent you and get the job done. We believe that clear communication is rare, undervalued and is an outcome of a clear strategy. However, it is undoubtedly the key to achieving the best outcome. McKees Legal Solutions Communicate As environmental planning lawyers, strategic advice is critical. To determine the appropriate strategy requires a leader that understands all aspects of development to draw out the right information from the client and the experts involved. Listening skills, experience and practical knowledge allows us to get the best out of your experts to present the development to the Council panel or Court in just the right way. McKees Legal Solutions Facilitate Negotiation skills are a real strength of the McKees Team. We aim and work towards obtaining approvals at Council avoiding the legal process altogether. The focus of the Land and Environment Court on alternative dispute resolution avenues, such as s34 and s34AA Conciliation Conferences, has radically changed the number of hearings McKees clients are required to endure. We have an excellent record of avoiding contested hearings, with their associated risks, through persuasive and effective negotiation during Council assessment and at the conciliation stages. McKees Legal Solutions Negotiate Graham McKee has been an advocate in the Land and Environment Court for over 25 years, completing in the order of a thousand cases acting as a solicitor advocate. McKees advocacy services are cost effective, as the need for a barrister is avoided. We offer advocacy services at all stages of the environmental and planning processes, whether it be a pre-lodgement meeting, specific issue meeting with Council Staff and experts, or as more regularly occurs, during a s34 Conciliation Conference process.
