Tell us what's happened. We'll tell you where you stand.

Before you send us the detail

Please tell us your name, how to reach you, and the type of matter — a building dispute, a purchase or sale, a lease, an estate, a business sale. That is enough for us to work out whether we can help.

Please don't send us the detail of your matter yet. Not because we aren't interested, but because of what happens when you do. Once we have confidential information about a dispute, obligations attach to it immediately, and they attach whether or not we end up acting for you.

Send us the basics

This form asks for what the section above says to send, and deliberately has nowhere to put the rest. Once we have run the conflict check we will call you, and that is the conversation for the detail.

Type of matter required Choose one Building or construction dispute Buying or selling property A commercial or retail lease A will, probate or an estate Buying or selling a business Something else

Other party or business name This is what a conflict check is run against. A name only — not what the dispute is about.

Date anything was served on you If a claim, notice or payment schedule has been served, the date usually starts a clock. Leave blank if nothing has.

There is no box here for the detail of your matter, on purpose. Once we hold confidential information about a dispute, obligations attach to it whether or not we act for you — and we cannot run a conflict check on information we have already received.

Send

We use what you send to run a conflict check and to call you back, and nothing else. See our privacy policy. Sending this form does not create a solicitor–client relationship, and nothing in it is legal advice.

What happens next

1. We check whether the matter is one we can act on, and whether we are conflicted.
2. If we can act, we'll arrange a conversation — by phone or at the Bella Vista office — and you can tell us the whole story.
3. Before any work starts you receive the scope and the costs in writing, with disbursements and GST identified separately from our professional fees.
4. If it isn't one of ours, we'll say so and point you to someone who does that work.

If a document has been served on you

Say so when you make contact, and tell us the date it was served. Payment schedules under the security of payment regime, appeals against a council determination, and family provision claims all run to fixed timetables, and the date of service is usually the first thing that matters. You don't need to send us the document itself at that point — just tell us it exists and when it arrived.

Where we act

Our conveyancing practice covers New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. Everything else we do — building and construction disputes, commercial leases, wills and estates, and business sales — is New South Wales.
