Navigating native title processes requires an extensive understanding all areas of statutory land rights. Storey & Ward Lawyers have decades of experience in acting for native title determination applicants and respondents, to realise land justice outcomes.

The realisation of land justice outcomes through native title processes can be long and difficult. 

Navigating both the legal and cultural processes requires an extensive and practical understanding all areas of native title and other forms of statutory land rights. 

Storey & Ward Lawyers have decades of experience in acting for native title determination applicants and respondents, as well as in Future Act applications and Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) negotiations. 

Our lawyers have appeared and instructed in these matters in courts and tribunals ranging from the National Native Title Tribunal to the High Court of Australia. We also have extensive experience in the negotiation and formal mediation of these matters.
