We’re Real People

Your needs matter to us. We listen to your problems and provide tailored solutions. We’re not a faceless corporation, but real people.

Wills & Estates

Every adult should have a will. For those who are young and healthy, a will is a way to ensure that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes if you die unexpectedly. The need for a will becomes especially pressing for people who have children or other dependents. A will can create trusts in which property and funds may be held for the care of young children, and nominate a guardian to look after them.

Family Law

The family law system in Australia sets out the processes to resolve conflicts about two main issues: property and parenting. If a dispute regarding these issues cannot be resolved outside the courtroom, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia will hear from both parties and make orders based on the law.

Separation or divorce is difficult, and often complicated. The family law system however is designed to be fair and equitable. Parenting laws focus on the best interests of the children, and property law aims to help separating couples reach a fair division of their property. Our role is to help you achieve a positive outcome in challenging circumstances that is in the best interests of you and your family and, wherever possible, keeps your matter out of the courtroom.

Conveyancing & Property

Most of us will be involved in a property transaction at some point in time, whether that be buying or selling a house, renting a home, or leasing commercial premises for a business. A “routine” property transaction, however, can be fraught with complexity and it pays to have an experienced professional on hand to explain your rights, protect your interests and help you navigate the process. We regularly deal with a range of conveyancing and property transactions.

Litigation

A lawyer’s role is often focused on preventing or minimising disputes which can be achieved through drafting water-tight contracts and documents, reviewing agreements, and flagging potential issues. Despite everybody’s efforts, however, disputes do arise, and the parties involved can waste valuable time and resources in trying to resolve their differences.

If you are involved in a legal dispute, our role is to help you reach a resolution as quickly and inexpensively as possible, so we will start with what is known as alternative dispute resolution. As a last resort, we can advise and represent you in court proceedings whether in the Local, District, or Supreme Courts of New South Wales, the Federal Court of Australia, the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia or the various tribunals.

Business & Tax Law

Business is tough and there are a myriad of rules, regulations, and reporting requirements that owners and directors must understand to meet their legal obligations. Whether you are starting, growing, or closing a business, or struggling with a legal problem, we can help. We are experienced commercial and business lawyers with a comprehensive understanding of the corporate environment and the legal challenges that our business clients regularly face.

Criminal Law

Being charged with an offence that could result in a criminal conviction and/or significant penalties can be daunting and can have a devastating impact on your future. We can represent you if you are arrested, charged, or approached by the police to provide a statement regarding a criminal offence. We regularly appear in the Local and District Courts for a range of traffic and criminal matters.
