Five key principles
of the practice.
No surprises.
Fixed fees are available for the majority of services. Ensuring there are no surprises.
Counsel that anticipates the next move.
The advice you receive looks beyond just the law, it considers your goals and practical circumstances ensuring you receive tailored solutions.
Plain English. Always.
No jargon, no buried fine print, no theatre. You’ll leave every conversation knowing exactly where you stand and what happens next.
We move with pace.
Matters move on momentum. We keep the file moving and keep you in the loop.
Honest about odds and outcomes.
We will tell you when not to litigate, when to settle, and when a problem is better solved outside the courtroom.
A solicitor who thinks beyond the law to what matters.
Michael is a highly experienced solicitor who specialises in employment law and wills and estates services. He was previously a solicitor at Australia’s largest provider of employment relations services.
For employment law, Michael works with employers and employees across countless professions and industries. He is engaged for his pragmatic approach — considering his clients’ goals, how to achieve them, and the practical aspects of their situations beyond just the laws applicable. This has allowed him to achieve a strong record for resolving litigation disputes early or avoiding them entirely, minimising costs.
For wills and estates, Michael works with individuals looking to prepare their wills, power of attorney, and enduring guardianship documents. He is also engaged by executors of wills to obtain grants of probate, and next-of-kin for deceased estates where no will exists to obtain grants of letters of administration.
Employers, employees, and contractors across all industries and occupations.
Wills, powers of attorney, guardianship, probate, and letters of administration.
