Curious About Something?

What types of legal matters do you handle as a property and commercial lawyer?
I specialise in three main areas.

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

For commercial leasing, I act for both landlords and tenants on retail and commercial lease negotiations, renewals, and compliance matters for NSW properties.

For business law, I help with business acquisitions and sales, commercial contracts, business structuring, and day-to-day legal work for small and medium business owners across Australia.

I handle every matter personally from start to finish.
How do your legal fees work compared to other lawyers?
I work on a structured, transparent fee basis.

Before any work begins, you receive a detailed proposal setting out exactly what's included, the timeline, and the total cost - so there are no unexpected charges.

For residential property transactions and most leasing ,matters I work on fixed fees.

For commercial property and business matters, fees are structured according to the scope and complexity of the work.

You'll always know what you're paying before we start.
Can you help with urgent property transactions or business matters?
Yes, I understand that commercial opportunities and property settlements often operate on tight timelines. I structure my practice to provide responsive service when matters need to move quickly - without cuttong corners on the legal work that protects you.
What makes you different from other lawyers or solicitors?
A few things.

You work directly with me throughout your matter - you have my direct contact details, you deal with me personally from start to finish, and there are no billing surprises.

I bring both legal expertise and real business experience: having worked in 'real world' management role for a property development business, I understand commercial decision-making from your perspective, not just from a legal standpoint.

My approach is always to start from what you're trying to achieve and find the best legal way to get there - not to tell you what you can't do.

I focus specifically on property and commercial law, and my Dee Why office means I'm accessible to Northern Beaches clients in person, while working with business clients across Australia.
How do I get started with your legal services?
Book an initial consultation online, or send me an enquiry through this website.

We can talk through your matter by phone or video, or you can send me the details by email.

If it's something I can help with and you'd like to proceed, I'll send you a clear proposal covering the scope, timeline, and fees.

Once you're ready to go, I handle your matter personally from start to finish.
