DGB Lawyers

DGB Lawyers have been supporting the Wollongong community and the wider Illawarra region for over 60 years, delivering responsive and reliable legal services tailored to clients’ needs. Known for placing clients at the heart of every matter, the team offers practical advice and clear guidance across a broad range of legal areas. In family law, the lawyers assist with financial settlements, parenting arrangements, maintenance issues, divorce proceedings, surrogacy and adoption matters, child support, and de-facto relationship advice. Their expertise extends to surrogacy law, where they navigate the complexities arising from the presumption under Australian common law that the birth mother and her partner are the legal parents, addressing situations when a surrogate mother is involved. The firm’s criminal law services cover a variety of offences, including domestic violence, apprehended violence, drug-related charges, personal violence offences such as assault, fraud, and driving offences, including DUI and licensing or speeding appeals. They provide robust representation and strategic advice to protect clients’ rights. In property law, DGB Lawyers handle residential and commercial property transactions, commercial and retail leasing, partitioning agreements, joint ventures, subdivisions, developments, and property disputes. Their team also advises on commercial agreements, including shareholder, unit holder, partnership, joint venture, services agreements, terms of trade, licences, and other business arrangements. They support small to medium-sized enterprises with sales and purchases and assist with dispute resolution and negotiation involving contracts, creditors, debtors, shareholders, and partners. Wills and estates matters form another key area of service. The lawyers prepare simple wills and testamentary trusts, draft powers of attorney, and enduring guardian appointments. They also manage deceased estates and assist in inheritance disputes or conflicts concerning wills. Succession planning and franchise agreements are additional areas where the team provides careful, strategic counsel. At DGB Lawyers, clients can expect a friendly, understanding, and professional approach from a dedicated team of solicitors and support staff based in Wollongong, committed to delivering legal solutions that truly matter.
