Our clients are consistently happy with our lawyers’ quick turnaround, attention to detail and client focus.

For us, providing the best possible legal advice in the circumstances is our first priority. We believe in being honest with our clients and observing the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. We take our duty to our clients very seriously and conduct ourselves in each matter as if it were our own.

A lawyer is admitted to practice law, whereas a conveyancer is licensed to only practice conveyancing (i.e. act in property transactions).

All of our lawyers are admitted to practice law in New South Wales. Our lawyers are also admitted to the High Court of Australia which means they are entitled to practice law in all federal jurisdictions as well.

Our Sydney property lawyers can also conduct Queensland property transactions.

  • Conveyancing (NSW & QLD)
  • Property Law
  • Litigation
  • Family Law
  • Wills & Estates
