“Phillip demonstrates a breadth of knowledge and genuine interest in understanding the various aspects of land ownership and models for collective access to land. He is also a breeze to listen to and has the knack for communicating the 'ah ha' moments.”
Jamieson Caldwell
"Phil, thank you so much for holding the seminar on travel exemptions! It's so refreshing and empowering to hear your experience and your tips on optimising applications. Was a bit demoralised after speaking to immigration lawyers, but since connecting with you, it's given me so much hope and encouragement the advice is extremely helpful and I really appreciate the effort you are going through to share that with us! Nothing warms my heart more than people who are passionate about freedom!"
Juleane Chen
"Philip’s seminars and online course was an absolutely amazing resource in helping us navigate the legal landscape while setting up our Birrong Community. We are now very close to buying our land and feel confident that we have a workable plan and legal documents to facilitate our land purchase as well as development of our co-owners’ agreement. It was incredible to find someone likeminded, who has a deep passion for community development, as well as knowledge and skill around the legal frameworks we needed to develop. Most standard lawyers don’t really ‘get ‘ a project like this so it was refreshing to find someone who not only understood what we wanted to achieve, but could also signpost the potential pitfalls legally and guide us towards a positive and rewarding community living experience. If you’re wanting the same, Phil is definitely your guy"
