Together, we make it happen.
Tenement management, planning and environmental approvals and compliance are complex and specialised fields, incorporating mining law, environmental law, land management processes, Native Title and other disciplines. For over 35 years, Hetherington has brought them together under one roof.
A full-service firm built around tenure.
Hetherington is a specialist service provider to the resources sector, where our team of consultants and solicitors are uniquely qualified and trained to deliver a high level of expertise, extensive experience and reliable service tailored to your specific needs.
Hetherington has been providing industry-leading services and expertise in the resources industry across Australia and internationally for over 35 years, helping clients effectively manage their tenure goals. Today the firm operates as three distinct entities, Hetherington Tenements, Hetherington Legal and Hetherington Environmental, with close to 20 consultants and lawyers across Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.
Three practices, one conversation.
Tenure, legal and environmental questions rarely arrive one at a time. Because our practices sit together, your consultant can bring in a solicitor or an environmental specialist without you having to brief a second firm.
