Mark Minarelli

Director

More than 25 years have passed since Mark Minarelli achieved his Masters in Corporate & Finance Law and embarked on what can only be described as an exceptional career, during which he has become a specialist in a wide variety of professional arenas. Today as one of our directors, Mark is regularly sought-after for his high calibre skillset in wills and estate planning, property and commercial law, with large corporate clients and private individuals alike asking for him by name.

Without a doubt, one of Mark’s main focuses is wills and estate planning, and his detailed knowledge across all aspects of the law speaks for itself. He has countless successes and satisfied clients following his work on complex estate planning and succession, wills of all shapes and sizes, disputed estates, powers of attorney, guardianship, trusts, wealth structuring, asset protection, risk management and superannuation.

There are few professionals in the wills and estates arena who have Mark’s depth of understanding and ability to navigate the legal complexities, and he’s widely regarded as a master at guiding his clients safely through those complexities in order to properly protect their future. Mark would be the first to explain that the most important ingredient of successful outcomes is taking the time, right at the start, to fully understand the client’s state of affairs and objectives, so their needs can be fully met with professionally tailored legal solutions.

Mark’s legal expertise extends extensively into commercial transactions, property, joint ventures, technology commercialisation and business succession, with a particular focus on property law for small-to-medium enterprises and individuals. In fact, there are few, if any, property issues or transactions that Mark hasn’t successfully navigated and resolved to the full satisfaction of his clients.

Through his many years of practice, Mark has shown that astute, specific and cost-effective advice is integral to achieving the objectives of his clients – be they big business, small business, or private individual – and he is renowned for his proactive approach, his ability to manage multiple needs, and his commitment to forearming clients with the highly strategic advice required to make informed decisions.

Allan and Roslyn Steffensen

I am a self-employed management consultant specialising in assisting lawyers and law firms to better manage their practices. For approximately ten years, I was retained by Mark Minarelli in a consultancy role to assist him in all aspects of managing his practice prior to him joining DW Fox Tucker. This gave me the opportunity to work closely with Mark and I was able to observe the manner in which he ran his practice. Mark is a dedicated, hard-working lawyer who always strives to achieve the most cost-effective outcomes for his clients. Client service and satisfaction are paramount to Mark. He goes over and beyond to achieve excellent results for his clients. I have also used Mark for a personal and very difficult commercial matter and was impressed with his relentless efforts to satisfactorily resolve this matter. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to any prospective client.
