Who we are
Mayfair Legal is a Melbourne-based legal practice with over two decades of experience advising clients on property and corporate transactions. We work with private clients, investors and businesses ranging from individuals purchasing their first home to sophisticated parties undertaking complex commercial deals.
The principal of Mayfair Legal is Ilya Fisher. Ilya has practised law since the 1990s, previously as a senior associate in commercial and technology law at several of Australia's largest firms. He founded Mayfair Legal because he believed — and still believes — that individuals and smaller businesses deserve access to high-quality legal thinking without the overhead of a large firm.
What we do
We advise individuals and companies on property and commercial transactions. Our two principal practice areas are property law and corporate and M&A. If you need advice in a different area, we are happy to refer you to another professional adviser who is best placed to assist.
What makes us different
We charge for results
In most cases we provide a fixed price quote for legal work, with clearly stated assumptions. Where hourly rates are necessary, we explain why — and our rates reflect our expertise rather than our overhead.
Clear thinking, clear communication
We bring a plain English approach to every discussion and every document. Legal advice should help clients understand their position, not obscure it.
Commercial focus
We understand that legal issues sit within broader commercial decisions. Our advice is practical and oriented towards outcomes, not process.
Experience without the price tag
Our clients benefit from the depth of experience usually associated with large firms, delivered with the responsiveness and efficiency of a specialist boutique practice.
