Aro & Associates is a legal practice that operates nationally, providing specialist and expert legal advice and representation to private and public sector, as well as First Nations, clients on all aspects of Native Title, Indigenous cultural heritage and Indigenous land rights law.

At Aro & Associates, we respectfully acknowledge that Australia is home to - and is immeasurably enriched by - the world’s oldest continuous culture.

We assist our clients to navigate the intricacies and complexities of cross-cultural engagement to achieve balanced outcomes that enable all participants to benefit from economic activity, while promoting the inherent rights of First Nations Peoples that derive from their economic and social structures, and their cultural and spiritual traditions.

We encourage the belief that project development is sustainable when the development process: fosters respect for the human rights, dignity, aspirations and culture of affected First Nations Peoples; proceeds where appropriate with the free, prior and informed consent of affected First Nations Peoples; and anticipates and, as much as possible, avoids adverse impacts on affected First Nations communities.

We combine technical legal expertise with a practical and strategic approach, a human and personable touch and a commitment to assisting our clients to embrace and achieve best practice in every facet of their engagements.
