Service overview

    - Business Law Our lawyers in the course of advising on buying or selling a business will carefully consider your aims and objectives and will advise you on the implications of capital gains and GST issues which need to be carefully examined. - Family Law In our experience, clients needing advice on general Family Law, Divorce Law and De facto Law issues require their solicitors to not only have the requisite knowledge of these areas of the law, but also the skills to negotiate outcomes on their behalf. - Commercial & Residential Conveyancing & Property Law. Our solicitors have over 50 years of experience in conveyancing from the first homebuyer to seasoned developers. Conveyancing is not an administrative task, but important aspects need considered legal advice requiring a solicitor or lawyer. - Estate Planning, Wills & Deceased Estates. With changes to Superannuation Laws, mixed families from new relationships and for other reasons, drafting Wills and planning your estate upon death or incapacity has assumed more importance in recent years. - Local Government Law We can provide you with advice in respect of the preparation of Development Applications and appearance before Local Government panels and if required, appealing against the decisions of Council to review panels and the Land and Environment Court.

About Smallwoods Lawyers

Smallwoods Lawyers was established in 1976 by Richard Smallwood.

Since it was established, Smallwoods has gained a reputation as a quality medium-size law firm, providing legal services to small to medium-size businesses, families and individuals in a number of areas of legal work including:

• Small business general advice
• Family law
• Commercial & residential conveyancing
• Estate planning
• Wills
• Managing deceased estates
• Environmental and Local Government law.

In early 2009, Smallwoods moved from its premises in Dee Why, where it had been for in excess of 24 years, to new modern premises at 117 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale providing up-to-date facilities for conferences with clients, holdings seminars and providing better access and parking for clients.

Also in 2009, Smallwoods incorporated as a company as part of its restructuring to provide quality legal assistance to clients. The company now consists of three highly-qualified lawyers who are assisted by highlyqualified legal assistants who have worked in legal offices for many years.

Accordingly Smallwoods is able to ensure that the legal needs of clients can be addressed speedily and effectively throughout the year by its experienced solicitors. Whilst our solicitors concentrate on particular areas of legal work, there is regular communication between all our solicitors to ensure that the needs of our clients are addressed in a cost effective and speedy manner and ensures a continuity of representation in the case of a short term absence of a solicitor.
