Sparke Helmore Lawyers
Building a strong future for Queensland agriculture
Sparke Helmore Lawyers have a long history of supporting primary producers and agribusinesses in Australia. Through their partnership with QFF, we are ensuring agribusinesses and farm enterprises have access to information and guidance about structuring and asset protection, succession planning, estate administration, and litigation.
About our partnership
Sparke Helmore specialise in servicing the legal needs of clients who work in the agriculture sector with a focus on helping clients achieve the best business results across all phases of the agribusiness lifecycle.
In 2023 Sparke Helmore welcomed Kylie Wilson as a partner in the firm’s Corporate & Commercial team who is a highly-regarded lawyer with experience in corporate, commercial, dispute resolution as well as litigation. With expertise across agribusiness, structuring and asset protection, succession planning and estate administration and litigation, she specialises in family business dispute resolution and intergenerational wealth transition planning for private clients.
Together, QFF and Sparke Helmore are working towards a stronger future for Queensland agriculture.
