Your community lawyer, our city support

In a regional community, it’s important to have access to high-quality professional services without travelling to the city. It’s also important that your service providers understand the issues and challenges which are unique to your part of the world.

That’s why our Mornington office is staffed by local lawyers and is a full-time local operation.

Our Mornington office services the wider Mornington Peninsula with specialised legal services in;

  • Family law
  • Wills and Estates
  • Conveyancing

Our Mornington lawyers work, live and volunteer in the local community. We’re committed to supporting grassroots organisations, including the Mornington Yacht Club and the Mornington Bowling Club.

Through our Melbourne office, our Mornington team can access significant knowledge and resources. The result? Local expertise with big firm support. It’s the best of both worlds. It also means that whatever your legal issue, whether personal or business, we can help.

Community knowledge and expert advice. All in the one place, ready to help you.

A will is a crucial tool to help you ensure your loved ones are looked after in the future. Estate planning is an essential part of the will-making process, especially when working out how to deal with family assets such as farms.
