Legal work for mining lawyers is the most likely area to be hit in Australia by the falls in international stock exchanges and the economic problems coming from China, according to local lawyers.

Lawyers advising on investment could also be hit, said Jon Meadmore, a commercial partner at Colin Biggers & Paisley. He said it was too early to say for certain, adding: 'But if there's smoke, there's fire. If the Chinese economy is deteriorating as feared, that's likely to impact Australia in some meaningful way.' 

Restructuring

Agriculture and property could also be areas of work that would suffer if the Chinese problems are not seen to be resolved soon. Work related to insolvency and restructuring could increase, he said. Source: Lawyers Weekly
