Our story

After many years in Sydney CBD, the practice relocated to Kensington, a few kilometres from the city. Its broad practice supports clients with business, property, family and estate matters.

The firm's published history also records involvement in community activities, including Stop Sarcoma and the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club.
