Deborah Culhane

Deborah Culhane, the founder of Country Life Law, brings her robust background in corporate law to serve the unique needs of regional communities. Having previously worked for a leading hospitality and tourism company, Deborah possesses an exceptional understanding of the complexities involved in operating cafes, cinemas, motels, and various tourism businesses that are vital to the prosperity of regional destinations. Deborah is dedicated to understanding her clients' stories and works closely with them to achieve their objectives, ensuring that she fully comprehends their needs, goals, and aspirations. At Country Life Law, we appreciate that significant agreements are often made in informal settings, such as over coffee at a local café, and that many disputes are best resolved around the kitchen table rather than in a courtroom. Operating from offices in Wodonga and Corryong, with regular visits to Gippsland, Southern NSW, and Tasmania, Country Life Law is well-positioned to serve clients across North East Victoria, the Upper Murray High Country, and beyond. Deborah's extensive experience in the hospitality and tourism sectors imbues her with a deep understanding of the challenges her clients face and the strategies needed to help them grow their businesses both ambitiously and prudently. Whether you are managing a family-owned farming enterprise and need a comprehensive succession plan or are a young entrepreneur looking to expand and diversify your enterprise, Deborah ensures that her efforts are entirely aligned with your success. Her passion for local cuisine, events, and picturesque landscapes only heightens her commitment to her clients' achievements. Deborah's expertise isn't confined to hospitality and tourism; she also has substantial insight into the inner workings of agricultural businesses and a broad spectrum of other regional industries. Whether you are an existing regional business owner, an investor keen on acquiring one, or are considering investing in commercial or residential property, Country Life Law provides the legal guidance needed to navigate the complexities of the legal landscape and realise your most ambitious aspirations.
