Local briefing
We work where you live.Endeavour Hills, up close
Endeavour Hills is about 31 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD, between the Monash Freeway and Dandenong Creek to the west and Hallam North Road to the east. The estate opened in 1974 and was named after Captain Cook's ship. Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre on Matthew Flinders Avenue and Heatherton Road is the main centre, with the library and police station nearby. There is no train station in the suburb; the closest is Hallam on the Pakenham line. Our office at Level 1, 58 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren is about ten minutes away.
About 24,000 people live in Endeavour Hills, including large Sri Lankan, Indian and Chinese communities and families who have been here since the estate opened. Our work for Endeavour Hills clients includes wills and estate planning, separation and property settlements, visas and citizenship, conveyancing for sellers and downsizers, and business leases.

Updating an old will
A will made years ago may not reflect a new marriage, grandchildren or property bought since. We review it and update it at a fixed fee.
Family LawDividing a long-held family home
After a long relationship, the house, super and savings all form part of the property pool. We work out a fair split and record it in consent orders or a financial agreement.
ImmigrationDownsizing or subdividing
Selling the family home or building a second dwelling raises contract, title and tax questions. We check the contracts and Section 32 before you sign.
Commercial LawBringing parents to Australia
Parent visas have long queues and strict rules about the balance of family. We check which visa fits, plan the timing and prepare the application.
Property LawLeasing a shop at the shopping centre
Retail leases in Victoria carry disclosure and minimum-term rules. We review rent reviews, options and make-good clauses before you sign.
Civil LitigationChasing an unpaid invoice
A firm letter of demand resolves most trade debts. If it doesn't, we issue at Dandenong Magistrates' Court and enforce the judgment.
