Inside the Light Hill Law office

About the practice

A small practice, by design.

The person you speak to first is the person who sees it through. Every matter gets the attention it deserves.

Light Hill Law was built around a simple idea: legal work goes better when the person doing it has known your matter since the first phone call. We stay small on purpose, so nothing is handed down a line of people you have never met.

We practise in conveyancing, property law, wills and estate planning, probate and commercial law. Whichever one brings you here, you get plain advice, a fixed fee wherever we can quote one, and a direct line to the lawyer holding your file.

The lawyer you speak to on day one is the lawyer who sees your matter through.

Priced upfront

A fixed fee wherever we can quote one, so there are no surprises at the end.

Where we work

We act anywhere in Australia. Settlement is electronic, so the address on the contract matters more than the address of the firm.
