Chalk & Behrendt, Lawyers & Consultants

Chalk & Behrendt is a profit-for-purpose legal and consulting practice which serves clients throughout Australia. For over 25 years, we have focused on meeting the needs of Indigenous Australians and their organisations in areas that include land rights, native title, cultural heritage, agreement-making, environmental and planning law, administrative law, business formation, governance and compliance, policy development, conflict management and dispute resolution. We also apply our skills and draw on our experience to assist non-Indigenous clients, particularly where there is an alignment with our vision and values. Previously practising as Chalk & Fitzgerald, we launched under our new name on 1 January 2017. Our vision is for social justice, inclusion and sustainability and, in particular, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate fully in Australian society and its economy on their own terms – building their own futures while respecting their unique lands, histories and cultures and contributing to a fairer and more sustainable world.
