The team at DLA Piper Australia is led by Jock McCormack. Other key professionals include Eddie Ahn and Adam Smith.

It also offers services including corporate tax law, business-related matters, and corporate transactions. It serves clients covering the real estate, technology, insurance, and funds sectors.

Adam Smith recently led the team and assisted Fargher Aither Family Trust and the Olszak Aither Family Trust with respect to the sale of shares in Aither. It advised on the Australian tax aspects of the transaction documentation and associated negotiations.
