The firm
Advice grounded in law, informed by experience.
Legal issues rarely exist in isolation, so advice on one part of a matter takes account of the rest.
How can we help?
Seven areas. One firm.
- Commercial & Business Contracts, transactions, structuring and the day to day decisions that keep a business moving.
- Property & Conveyancing Residential and commercial property, from contract review through to settlement.
- Immigration Visas, sponsorship, citizenship and review, for individuals, families and employers.
- Family Separation, parenting, property settlement and the matters that follow.
- Wills & Estates Estate planning, probate and administration, and estate disputes.
- Capacity & Protection Guardianship, administration and supported decision making, including VCAT and NDIS matters.
- Personal Injury & Compensation Workplace, transport, public liability and insurance claims.
In focus
Where most of our work begins.
Property & Conveyancing
Buying, selling and transferring property runs to a timetable. We handle the legal work so the dates hold and the contract says what you think it says.
Immigration
Migration decisions turn on evidence and timing. We prepare applications properly the first time, and act quickly when a refusal or cancellation needs review.
Family
Separation is easier to navigate with steady advice and a plan. We look for a negotiated resolution first and go to court when it is genuinely needed.
The Crownmark approach
-
Clear communication
Clients are kept informed at every stage, with the options set out so decisions can be made with confidence.
-
Practical judgement
Cost, risk and time are weighed against the result before a course of action is recommended.
-
Technical precision
A single transaction and a complex dispute receive the same care, attention to detail and rigour.
-
Accountability
Trust is earned through consistency, and through the quality of advice delivered matter after matter.

Crownmark Assured Pricing
For most matters, the fee is agreed before the work begins.
Billing by the hour makes legal costs hard to plan around, so most of our work is priced another way.

Common questions
Before you call.
01 What happens at the first consultation?
You tell one of our lawyers what has happened and what you need. We explain the options open to you and, if you want to go ahead, what happens next.
02 Which office handles my matter?
Whichever is more convenient for you. If you are not near either office, call us to talk through how we can help.
03 Can Crownmark assist clients outside Melbourne and Sydney?
Yes. We act for clients across Australia and internationally. From outside Australia, call +61 3 8595 4338.
04 How does Crownmark Assured Pricing work?
It applies to most matters. You receive a written proposal setting out the scope and the fee, and if the scope later changes, a revised fee is agreed with you before further work is done.
05 What if my matter touches more than one area of law?
That is common. A business sale can raise lease and employment questions, and a separation can affect a Will, a property title or a visa. Our practices work side by side, so related issues are picked up early and handled together.
