MST Lawyers is a Melbourne-based commercial and private client law firm with a long and established history, having evolved from its founding in 1959 into a dynamic mid-tier practice.
We act for a diverse client base across Australia and internationally, including individuals, SMEs, and national and multinational organisations. Our client base is particularly strong in the consumer and retail sector – including franchising – as well as in property, real estate and construction, where we advise well-known brands, franchise networks and leading real estate groups.
Our team provides practical and commercially focused advice across a broad range of legal areas, including corporate and commercial law, franchising, dispute resolution and litigation, employment law, property and leasing, intellectual property, family law, and wills and estates.
We work closely with our clients to understand their objectives and deliver clear, strategic advice tailored to their needs. Many of our client relationships span years, reflecting our focus on responsiveness, consistency and long-term outcomes.
Over time, we have developed strong domestic and international networks, enabling us to support clients operating across multiple jurisdictions.
