Adam and his team have been fundamental in our development.
For 6 years I have worked with Adam.
We have a diverse range of needs from basic contracts to more complex legal advice.
I have always found Adam highly intuitive, considered and innovative in his approach to our situations.
Even as a sounding board for general business, legal and tax guidance, his sound knowledge of both sides of business is a really valuable mix.
I recommend him to all my associates

Andrew Baker
My business recently received a significant Export Market Development Grant thanks to the efforts and experience of Adam Ahmed. I didn’t even know these grants were available to me. When Adam contacted me I was initially skeptical however he has proved himself to work with the utmost professionalism, confidentiality and respect. His completion of the application form was thorough and consultative, ensuring the maximum amount could be claimed. I was most amazed at his experience and ability to negotiate with the grant officers to ensure speedy completion of the process and delivery of the grant. My small business now has significant funds to expand its markets overseas, and I strongly urge other Australian businesses to engage with Adam Ahmed & Co. to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

Adam was very proactive in helping us collate information and preparing the grant itself. The process was well explained and Adam made sure that we managed to maximise what we were entitled to claim with the export development grant. With his help, our application was successful and we hope to work with Adam in the future again.”
