Nowland Lawyers

Nowland Lawyers was founded to re-establish the trusted, approachable law firm deeply connected to its community. After more than a decade in the legal profession across diverse roles, our principal recognised that larger, commercially driven practices were eroding the strong client relationships, accessibility, and humanity that once defined quality legal service. Our firm is committed to reversing this trend by placing clients at the centre of everything we do. We have built a reputation as solicitors who combine legal expertise with approachability and genuine care. Our team’s education spans not only law but also psychology, sociology, and criminology, enriching our understanding of clients’ needs and motivations. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and are proud to have received commendations from peers and members of the judiciary. At Nowland Lawyers, we welcome the opportunity to listen and work closely with you. Our tailored approach ensures that the law is accessible, understandable, and relevant to your circumstances. We prioritise building trust through reliable, transparent communication and rigorous advocacy. Our principal solicitor brings over ten years’ experience in criminal law, having served as a senior NSW prosecutor, a senior solicitor with the Legal Aid Commission of NSW, and practising across Sydney, Newcastle, and the Hunter region. This extensive background, combined with praise from the bench and legal colleagues, equips our team to handle a full spectrum of criminal law matters with skill and professionalism. We also offer comprehensive estate planning services, including drafting of Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Enduring Guardianships. Understanding that life is constantly evolving, our fixed-fee package provides peace of mind by ensuring your affairs are organised and up to date. In response to recent economic challenges, our firm has expanded to assist individuals and businesses with debt recovery and commercial litigation. We provide practical solutions tailored to your situation, helping you manage financial difficulties and negotiate payment arrangements where appropriate. Dispute resolution and mediation form another cornerstone of our practice. We appreciate how daunting legal processes can be and are committed to ensuring your voice is heard, your position is understood, and your interests are effectively represented in pursuit of meaningful outcomes. Choosing the right lawyer is a crucial decision often influenced by trust, integrity, and clear communication. At Nowland Lawyers, we encourage you to explore your options and select a representative who not only understands your legal needs but also aligns with your values. When you choose us, it is because you have confidence in our abilities and believe in the partnership we will build.
