Luke is our Managing Principal, and head of the Private Client Advisory Department.
Luke has accumulated over two decades of experience as a commercial lawyer. His skills and services have evolved with the changing needs of clients, drawing on a commercial law background and a deep knowledge of state and federal tax law. This expertise enables him to provide specialised advice on structuring, restructuring, and planning to build, protect, and transfer the assets clients have worked hard for.
Working closely with teams in Corporate & Commercial Law, Property Law, Family Law, Wills & Estates, and, when required, Dispute Resolution & Litigation helps develop solutions tailored to client situations, values, aspirations, and family dynamics. Luke provides advice across a broad range of clients and industries, collaborating with other advisers to problem-solve and implement the best solutions for optimal outcomes.
In practice, this means his involvement in everything from designing efficient ownership structures and overseeing commercial and property transactions to consulting on business relationships, ownership transition, and asset transfers, both during lifetime and after death—all while preserving value and minimising unwanted costs.
As the Managing Principal of Heinz Law, Luke enjoys working with fellow Principals to continually build on the firm’s legacy, to invest in and train lawyers and staff to improve skills and services, meeting the needs of clients and the wider community—a community to which he is passionate about.
