JG Tax and Legal
Legal and tax advice, brought together when it counts.
JG Tax and Legal is a boutique practice offering commercial and private-client law and tax law under one roof separately or together as your matter requires.
The Firm
Two disciplines brought together when they are needed.
Some matters relate to commercial law while some relate to tax law. Many sit across both. A business sale, a family trust, a property holding, structuring or restructuring, a deceased estate - these often carry legal consequences and also tax implications and they are better handled together.
When a matter calls for it our commercial and tax lawyers work side by side, so the legal documents and the tax position are considered as one. When it does not you simply get clear, focused advice in the area you need and we will always tell you when a matter would benefit from the other.

The Principals
Who you will be working with
For accountants & advisers
A collaborative tax law and commercial law resource for your clients.
We handle the legal work and keep you informed throughout. We do not, and will never, offer tax compliance services and the client relationship remains with you. We deepen your existing relationship. We absolutely do not replace you. Ask us about our referral program.
Common questions
Do I need to leave my accountant to work with you?
Absolutely not. We work collaboratively with your existing accountant and advisers. We handle the legal work and keep your accountant in the loop. The day-to-day relationship stays where it is.
What makes a tax and legal firm different from a general law firm?
In many matters the legal and tax implications are inseparable. We can advise on both together, so you are not relaying messages between your commercial lawyer and tax lawyer or discovering a tax problem after the transaction.
What if I do not need both a commercial lawyer and a tax lawyer?
Many do not. Our teams can operate together or independently, depending on what your matter calls for.
What if you do not specialise in the area that I need?
That is okay. Although our practice is broad, we do not specialise in all areas of law. Above all else, we pride ourselves on being helpful. If we cannot directly assist with your matter, we will find you someone who can.
Do you act for both businesses and private clients?
Yes. We act for business owners on commercial, structuring, transaction and dispute matters and for individuals, families and private groups on estate planning, wills, deceased estates, disputes, property and related tax matters.
I am an accountant looking to refer to you, am I at risk of you taking my clients?
No. Accountants and advisers are among our key clients and we are protective of that relationship. We do not, and will never, offer tax compliance services, the client relationship remains with you and we return your client to you. We are here to deepen your relationship with your client, not to replace you.
How are your fees structured?
We discuss scope and fees at the outset so you know what to expect. Depending on the matter we offer fixed fees or an estimate against hourly rates.
Where are you based?
We are based in Melbourne and act for clients all around Australia. Meetings can be held in person, by video or by phone.
