Kellehers Australia was established in 1981 in response to overwhelming need for independent legal advice in the environment, planning and local government law fields. There at the beginning, we continue our leading knowledge and experience as a specialist Environment, Planning & Local Government Law firm. Dr Kelleher was one of the first small group of Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Specialists. She remains an accredited Environment, Planning & Local Government Law Specialist and has a formidable reputation in the field. Gathered into the firm now are younger team members passionate about contemporary life and its emerging legal challenges: national and international climate change, environment, planning, alternative dispute resolution techniques and entirely new contemporary legal ideas e.g. surrogacy. With a strong international focus, Kellehers Australia remains at the forefront of the ‘legal new’.
