Introducing our law firm

Our Services

Conveyancing & Property

Whether you're purchasing your first home, expanding your investment portfolio, buying a rural property or selling a family asset, our conveyancing team guides you through the transaction from contract to settlement. 

Wills & Estates

A well-prepared Estate Plan provides certainty for your family and protects the assets you've worked hard to build. We assist with Wills, Powers of Attorney, Probate, Estate Administration and Succession Planning for individuals, families, business owners and primary producers.

Family Law

Separation affects every aspect of your life — your children, your finances and your future. We assist individuals, professionals, business owners and farming families with Parenting Arrangements, Property Settlements, Divorce and Financial matters, helping them move forward with certainty.​

Business Law

Businesses need advisers who understand more than just the legal documents. We work with business owners, investors and professionals on Acquisitions, Sales, Commercial Leases, Structuring, Succession Planning and day-to-day Commercial matters.

Collaborative Pratice

Not every Family Law matter needs to be decided by a court. Collaborative Practice provides separating couples with a structured process to resolve parenting and financial issues respectfully, privately and with greater control over the outcome.

Litigation & Disputes

Disputes can be disruptive, costly and stressful. Whether the issue involves a Business Disagreement, Building and Construction Dispute, contested Estate or Debt Recovery matter, we focus on resolving disputes efficiently while protecting your interests.

Criminal Law

Being charged with a criminal offence can have serious consequences for your future, employment and reputation. We provide clear guidance and representation for clients facing Criminal and Traffic Law matters throughout the Central West.

Public Notary

International transactions often require documents to be formally authenticated. As one of the few firms in Orange with two Public Notaries, we can assist with the certification and authentication of documents for use overseas.

Rural Succession Planning

The successful transfer of a farm is about more than land ownership. We help farming families navigate Succession Planning, Business Structures, Estate Planning and Intergenerational Wealth transfer to preserve both family relationships and farming enterprises.

Compensation Claims

When medical treatment falls below an acceptable standard or you suffer an injury that affects your health, income, family and future plans we assist clients with Compensation Claims arising from motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, public liability incidents and other personal injury matters, helping them secure the support and compensation they are entitled to.
