AJ & Co Lawyers Advises KickOn Group on the Sale of South Bank Icon, The Plough Inn

AJ & Co Lawyers is proud to have acted for long-standing client, KickOn Group, on the successful sale of the historic Plough Inn in Brisbane’s South Bank to Redcape Hospitality.

Established in the 1860s, the Plough Inn is one of the city’s most recognisable heritage venues, celebrated for its landmark position and beloved beer garden. This transaction marks a significant milestone for KickOn Group, who have stewarded and elevated the venue during their tenure, reinforcing its status as a premier hospitality destination.

KickOn Group Founder and Director, Craig Shearer, reflected on the transaction and the support provided by AJ & Co:

“Jonathan and his team at AJ & Co have been our trusted legal advisors in Queensland for a long time, and we genuinely love working with them. Their professionalism, communication and steady approach made the Plough transaction an absolute pleasure to navigate. It’s an important milestone for KickOn Group, and we’re grateful to have such a strong partnership supporting us along the way.”

The deal was led by Corporate Partner, Jonathan Whybird, supported by the AJ & Co Corporate team. The team managed the complex divestment, working closely with multiple stakeholders to ensure an efficient and seamless transition to the new owners.

AJ & Co Lawyers congratulates KickOn Group and Redcape Hospitality on this significant result in the Queensland hospitality market.
