Di Bartolo Diamond & Mihailaros (PKF Canberra) answered comprehensively and in detail important questions on two short calls in a most timely, kind, and patient manner. From the receptionists (telephonists), 'Leanne' and 'Natasia', to the professional knowledge of, for example, 'Stephen', we are grateful to have taken the first step to phone Di Bartolo Diamond & Mihailaros (I was even invited to their Canberra City, University Avenue, address).
Speaking with such high calibre and knowledgeable staff was helpful--knowing that for a reasonable price, we were (most likely) going to get ideal, if not one-of-the-best results. That just means the best range of options laid out--not only for directing, establishing and constituting purposes, but also for learning some principles and differences, such as between statutory and Australian common law Trusts, vehicles as asset protection, vehicles as family trading, etc and for some help with starting our own self-training. So the hope of our initial call (a request for background or big picture, willingness to take a call and generously share) was nice and neatly accomplished and more. For someone wanting to set up an entity in these, or nearby, areas, we recommend this type of insight, experience, communication and cooperative experience, even for beginners (like us).
