Despina’s wealth of experience includes overseeing the legal aspects of construction and settlement of the Q1 apartment tower while in the position of in-house counsel at Sunland Group, and establishment, ongoing management and sales of numerous manufactured homes parks in QLD and NSW.
Philosophy
Despina Priala believes that the key to building and maintaining client relationships is accessibility, expertise and prompt professional service.
These key attributes which are so often absent in larger firms are Despina’s primary goal and she prides herself in being able to achieve this by maintaining regular personal contact with all her clients.
Professional Experience
Despina Priala has practised in property and commercial law on the Gold Coast for over 25 years, and has substantial experience in this area with career highlights including her appointment as in-house counsel for Sunland Group where her responsibilities included overseeing legal work performed by Allens, Minter Ellison, Corrs Chambers Westgarth, Deacons and other top-tier firms, in the areas of construction and off-the-plan contracts for marquee projects such as Q1- The World’s Tallest Residential Tower, Palazzo Versace, Circle On Cavill, Avalon, Sunkids Childcare Centres, and many other noteworthy projects.
We have a proven track record in the field of property developments and manufactured homes parks, and we are totally committed to providing our clients with direct access to our undiluted legal expertise.
Despina’s 25 year pedigree of working with some of the biggest names in the legal industry have taught her that the single biggest source of client disappointment is the realisation that the expert partners and senior lawyers who act as draw cards in the first place are often inaccessible due to being spread very thinly over the immense workloads required to carry the huge overheads of a “top end of town” law firm. Worse yet, much of the work is dealt out to junior levels in-house, which is where the mistakes start creeping in.
Priala Legal was established to provide high level legal expertise without the distractions and impositions of running a burgeoning practice, where sheer size has become the enemy of form and function. You will never experience crossed paths with one hand not knowing what the other is doing at Priala Legal, or have your items of importance being missed or lost in a swirling system of inadequate organisation.
We have stayed small on purpose, adding no other items or ingredients than what is crucial to give clients what they want and need – performance. Our overheads and budgets are small, but our experience and client focus are very high. A selective approach and our principal’s direct management of the workload we take on ensures that there are no disappointed clients. We are prompt, accessible and supportive of your goals.
Convenient Location
Priala Legal is easily accessible and centrally located at Runaway Bay, Gold Coast, only a short distance from Surfers Paradise, Southport and Bundall. Street parking is available for clients at no cost.
