About Us

Who We Are

McFarland's is a family company founded by two qualified lawyers. Married in Australia, Dr Guo Sanzhuan and Mr Tim McFarland have the legal knowledge and cultural understanding necessary to make your venture a success.

Dr Guo Sanzhuan, from Shanxi, China, is a graduate of Peking University Law School (PhD), Northwestern University School of Law, USA, (LLM) and Melbourne Law School, the University of Melbourne, Australia (JD). Dr Guo has been admitted to practice law in China, Australia and the United States. She has worked in corporate and commercial law in General Electric (China) and Beijing Jingtian & Gongcheng, subsequently practised as an in-house lawyer with the University of Melbourne and as an immigration lawyer with Holding Redlich, and is currently teaching law at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia.

Mr Tim McFarland, from Melbourne, Australia, is also a graduate of Melbourne Law School, the University of Melbourne, Australia (JD) as well as Monash University (Engineering, Economics). He has been admitted to practice law in Australia and also has a varied professional background in Australian companies. He is currently studying for a PhD in law at the University of Melbourne.

Dr Guo and Mr McFarland met during their studies at the University of Melbourne and married and founded their company soon afterwards.

What We Do

We believe that the people of China and Australia have a tremendous amount to offer each other, and both countries will benefit from building closer ties. Making connections can be difficult though, especially across countries and cultures. It's helpful to have someone who already has ties at home and abroad, who can help you to find what you're looking for. That's what McFarland's is all about; whether you're seeking healthy, natural Australian products for your own use or for resale in China, or you want to come to Australia for business or education, we can help. McFarland's has its roots in both countries and we understand how to bridge that gap. Our aim is to help other people to enjoy the benefits of connecting as we have.
