Our Team
We’re your property development team. Meet our property professionals.
Renee Foot
Renee’s our Director and she’s a go-to for helpful, easy to understand legal advice. Well-versed in property, Renee is able to weigh up both her legal perspective and a commercial property perspective to give you balanced advice. Renee loves getting to work on projects like unit developments from the beginning, through to the settlement as it feels like such an accomplishment. She also loves driving around Brisbane and saying, “I helped make that!”
Renee isn’t a stereotypical lawyer, she’s down to earth, loves to have fun, and gets out to play golf or run a marathon on her weekends.
Ben Egan
Ben’s our Associate Director and provides our clients with practical advice and suggestions. Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, before it was the holiday hub it is today, Ben became a lawyer because he was passionate about helping people. Above all though, he’s committed to making deals. He’s big on tackling problems holistically — this involves looking at every individual moving part in your legal process to care for it all.
When he’s not at work, Ben is probably out walking his dog, attending open homes and looking at property, spending time with his family, or out on the golf course.
Laura Bezuidenhout
Laura, our Senior Associate Lawyer, has developed her property law skills for 14 years and has extensive experience in property development. She assists clients in many areas of property law and estate law, and particularly enjoys assisting clients with a development project from site acquisition right through to titling and sale conveyances.
Laura offers a communication-driven service, striving to meet her client’s needs in an effective, simple and timely manner for a seamless property transaction. Her goal is to help clients maximise the value and return to them from their property transactions while avoiding pitfalls that reduce value and unwanted outcomes. When she’s not working with us, Laura enjoys playing tennis, trail running, and getting active outside with her family and her golden retriever. Oh, and she’s an avid Geelong Cats fan!
