We have experience acting for home-owners and builders in domestic building disputes.

Disputes are usually settled by negotiation but where necessary we will instigate or defend your matter in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

We can also provide advice and assistance if you have a general enquiry relating to your house or apartment, a dispute with a neighbour or the local council.

Whether you operate a fully-fledged enterprise or just run a small business from home, we can provide legal services or advice in:

• Buying / selling, starting or winding up a business
• Business structures
• Drawing or settling contracts
• Trademarks, copyright and intellectual property
• Debt recovery and litigation

We are lawyers who understand the law behind buying, selling or leasing commercial and domestic property.

We don't simply treat your conveyance as a 'standard procedure'. We look carefully and thoroughly at all the issues and are best placed to advise on significant issues which may require attention.

And yet you will find our rates equal to or better than most conveyancers without legal qualifications.

For married or de facto couples we can help during the good times or the bad:

• Domestic relationship disputes

We will sensitively handle your Family Law enquiry.

Commercial disputes, contracts, debt recovery, consumer protection, trade practices, building disputes, challenging a will.

Whether your dispute is large or small; whether you seek to instigate or defend an action, we can advise you on the best course of action, with experience running cases in all jurisdictions, including the Magistrates', County and Supreme Courts and VCAT.

If, because of accident or illness, you needed a loved one to make important life decisions for you, we can create a binding authority that will become effective if you lose your 'legal capacity.'

We will discuss with you the different 'instruments' which allow you to delegate your decision-making to those close to you.

Wills for singles, couples, families - we will tailor your Will to reflect your wishes and achieve your desired outcome.

If a loved one has died we can assist you with the administration of their estate:

• Probate is the procedure by which a deceased person's estate is dealt with according to their last Will.
• If someone has not left a valid Will then their estate is dealt with according to a set of standard rules and the procedure is called 'Letters of Administration'.

Have you been left out of a Will? Depending on the circumstances, it is possible to make an application to the Court to have provision made from a deceased's estate. We can examine your case and advise as to options that may be open to you.

We are also experienced in defending such claims and are sensitive to the broader issues that surround the passing of a loved one.
