Megan Grainger - Lawyer

Stacks/The Law Firm, Taree

Victoria St, Taree

Megan specialises in tax and estate planning, business set-up and succession, insolvency, and equity litigation for individuals and small business owners.

She helps her clients to put sound, balanced strategies into place to protect their wealth, assets and businesses for the long term.

Megan was admitted as a solicitor in 2005 after working part-time as a paralegal for over five years while studying for her degrees in law and mathematics. With Megan’s legal and mathematical training, she brings rigorous problem solving skills to her clients’ issues. She understands the emotional nature of estate planning and business succession, and offers empathy with well-thought out solutions.

Megan’s estate planning experience is supported by her experience in insolvency and equity litigation. Having seen the outcomes of ill-conceived wealth protection and business succession strategies, Megan understands how to anticipate and plan for unintended consequences.

She looks carefully at the elements impacting her clients’ plans and needs, and identifies a range of solutions that balance all the parties’ expectations. Megan tailors her advice very precisely for each client, and she documents the preferred solution in such a way to gain everyone’s commitment.

For example, when Megan assists combined and extended families with their often complex estate planning, she offers them alternative scenarios that balance all the family members’ interests.

She recently assisted a family with a multi-million dollar dairy farming business with their complex estate planning needs. Following negotiations with the family, their banker and accountant, Megan devised a number of alternative estate planning solutions for the family, all of which balanced the different needs of the adult children.
