How do I know if I need a lawyer?
If you're facing a legal dispute, buying or selling a business or property, signing an important contract, dealing with an employment issue, navigating a visa application, or resolving an owners corporation matter, it's worth speaking to a lawyer as early as possible. An initial consultation can help you understand your legal position, assess your options, and make informed decisions before anything is committed.
How much does a consultation cost?
We offer an initial consultation to understand your matter, answer your questions, and discuss the legal options available to you. The cost of the consultation depends on the nature and complexity of your matter, and we'll let you know the fee upfront when you make your booking. If you decide to engage us after the consultation, we'll provide you with a clear written costs estimate and explain our proposed scope of work before any legal work begins. That way, you'll know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.
How long will my matter take?
Every legal matter is different, and the timeframe depends on its complexity, the parties involved, and whether the matter can be resolved through negotiation or requires court or tribunal proceedings. After we have a clear understanding of your circumstances, we'll provide you with a realistic estimate of the likely timeline and keep you informed of any significant developments along the way. Our focus is on progressing your matter efficiently while ensuring nothing is rushed at the expense of achieving the best possible outcome.
Will I be working directly with a lawyer?
Yes. From the outset, you'll work directly with the lawyer responsible for your matter. We believe in building strong client relationships through clear communication, practical advice, and regular updates. While members of our team may assist with aspects of your matter where appropriate, your lawyer will remain your primary point of contact throughout the process.
What happens after I contact you?
Every matter starts with a conversation. Depending on the nature of your enquiry, we may arrange a brief initial call or recommend booking a formal consultation. To make your consultation as valuable as possible, we encourage you to send any relevant documents and background information beforehand. This allows us to review your matter in advance and provide considered, practical advice during the meeting. If the volume or complexity of the material requires significant preparation before the consultation, we'll let you know in advance and any additional preparation time will be charged accordingly. We aim to strike a fair balance—ensuring you're receiving meaningful advice while keeping the consultation proportionate to the work involved.
Is everything I tell you confidential?
Yes. We treat everything you share with us in the strictest confidence. Your information is handled in accordance with our professional obligations, privacy laws, and, where applicable, protected by legal professional privilege. From your very first enquiry, we are committed to ensuring your personal and legal information is treated with the care, discretion, and confidentiality it deserves.
