Northern Beaches Property + Commercial Lawyer =  LexAlia  

I specialise in three main areas across NSW and Australia.

For property law, we handle residential and commercial property transactions, off-the-plan purchases, development site acquisitions, and conveyancing services throughout the Northern Beaches, Sydney and NSW.

For commercial leasing, we work with both landlords and tenants on retail and commercial lease negotiations, renewals, and compliance matters for leases of NSW properties.

For business law, we assist with business acquisitions and sales, commercial contract preparation, business structuring, and day-to-day legal requirements for small and medium business owners throughout Australia.

Each matter receives my personal attention from start to finish.

We work on a structured, transparent fee basis that eliminates uncertainty.

Before any work begins, you receive a comprehensive proposal detailing exactly what needs to be done, the timeline, and the total cost. This approach means no surprise bills or unclear scope.

For property transactions, we work on fixed fees. For business matters, we structure fees based on the complexity and scope of work required.

This transparency allows you to budget confidently and understand the value you're receiving for important legal decisions.

Yes, we understand that commercial opportunities and property settlements often operate on tight timelines. We structure my practice to provide responsive service when matters need expedited attention.

We appreciate when things need to move quickly or when regulatory deadlines must be met. We maintain the thoroughness required for complex legal work while being responsive to your commercial timeline requirements.

Several factors set my practice apart.

First, you work directly with our principal lawyer, Jackie Atchison, throughout your entire matter - no admin, no juniors, no handoffs to other lawyers.

Second, Jackie brings both legal expertise and real business management experience from working in property development, so she understands commercial pressures and decision-making from your perspective.

Third, we focus specifically on property and business law rather than trying to be everything to everyone.

Finally, our Dee Why location means I'm accessible for local clients while serving business clients Australia-wide through efficient online processes.

To start with, you can book an initial consultation online or send an inquiry through this website.

From there, depending on the type of matter and what you prefer, we can have a consultation or you can send me the details and information we need by email.

If your matter is something we can assist with (and you are happy to proceed) where we discuss your legal requirements and determine whether we're a good fit for each other.

If we decide to proceed, you'll receive a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and fees.

You then have time to review everything before making a decision. Once you're ready to proceed, our principal lawyer, Jackie Atchison, will handle all aspects of your matter personally, keeping you informed throughout the process.
