Melissa Strain

Solicitor

Gaming, Licensing and Hospitality

I commenced my legal career working with Frank Dennis & Associates with a focus on liquor licensing and hospitality.

I am now a solicitor working in the Corporate and Commercial Group at Wisewould Mahony Lawyers.

My key areas of practice include:

• Gaming, licensing and hospitality
• Purchase and sale of businesses
• Retail leasing
• Franchising

I have a number of clients that own and operate hotels, restaurants and backpackers. I assist these clients with the purchase and sale of licensed businesses, liquor licence applications, lease negotiations, market rent reviews, landlord tenant disputes and other general commercial matters.

The firm is an associate member of the Australian Hotels Association.

I am a member of the Wisewould Mahony Franchise Group and act on behalf of franchisors as well as providing advice to existing and potential franchisees.

Away from work I enjoy keeping fit, waterskiing, snowboarding, surfing and running as well as spending time away with my family and friends.
