Services
Alternative Dispute Resolution (called "ADR") services encompass assisted negotiation, mediation, conciliation and arbitration. If there are legal issues involved in the dispute then you may need to engage our legal services combined with the ADR service. Only registered and licenced lawyers can provide legal advice and legal services.
The baby boomer generation comes to an end and the boomers want to pass on their wealth to the next generation. Most of them do this by making a last will and testament. Others set up trusts. Some of them try to avoid later disputes by creating a family financial agreement before they die. Whatever the case, lawyers are making a motza in legal fees out of deceased estates disputes.
Building disputes can become as nasty and acrimonious as family law disputes. The "marriage" of the owner and builder usually starts off with a honeymoon period when they sign the building contract. At the start the owners are excited and starry eyed about their new home, extension or renovations and the builder is glad to start a new job.

My two brothers and I retained the services of Whitelaw Legal Group in 2019 to advise us concerning an estate dispute and a professional negligence suit against a former lawyer.
The cases weren’t easy ones. Mr Whitelaw took care of both cases for us. We did not want to go to court if we could avoid it as litigation is expensive. Mr Whitelaw took great care in pinning down the facts in each case and then provided us with written legal advice in plain English. He gave us a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our cases. With that understanding we managed to first resolve the estate

I had the good fortune to be introduced to Whitelaw Legal Group by another business person who highly recommended their services.
I am so glad for that referral.
I work in the IT sector and my business is a contractor. We need a good lawyer to review our contracts.
We have been very pleased with the service from WLG and have no hesitation in recommending the firm.
Top marks for quality of the legal work, communication and price.

The Whitelaw Legal Group has handled a number of legal matters for me over the past three years ranging from a civil court matter, family property settlement, to arranging a corporate lease. Each of the matters was handled efficiently, professionally and achieved good outcomes. As a businessman being time poor I appreciate that the firm didn’t waste time, kept me well informed and regularly updated, used plain English and was reasonable in its billing. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm.
