MPS Law provides specialist legal advice and representation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in all matters relating to native title. We work closely with Traditional Owners, native title corporations, and Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs) to help secure, protect, and manage native title rights and interests—particularly in the face of resource development, infrastructure projects, and complex negotiations.
Our services include:
- Assisting clients in negotiating and drafting native title agreements in Australia, including Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs), exploration and mining agreements, and infrastructure development projects.
- Representing native title holders in native title compensation matters, ensuring Traditional Owners receive fair and just recognition for the extinguishment or impairment of their native title rights.
- Advising and acting in native title dispute resolution, including intra-Indigenous disputes, overlapping claims, and conflicts over compensation or agreement implementation.
- Supporting Prescribed Bodies Corporate with compliance, legal risk management, and strategic engagement with stakeholders.
- Providing native title compensation legal advice to both claimant and respondent parties, ensuring clarity and legal certainty in complex claims.
MPS Law understands the long-term significance of native title for communities. We offer tailored, legally sound, and culturally respectful legal services that aim to uphold Traditional Owners’ rights while enabling self-determination and sustainable outcomes.
We also advise clients on governance structures for native title corporations and regularly work at the intersection of renewable energy and native title law. Our team’s broad understanding of land access, tenure, and regulatory frameworks supports strong outcomes in renewable energy agreements for Indigenous land.
