LOCALS YOU CAN TRUST
Welcome to the Far North Coast Law Society
Welcome
The Far North Coast Law Society is the premier professional organisation for law practitioners situated on the Far North Coast of NSW. Members are well-qualified, accessible and skilled in all areas of law. Here you will find the most suitable law firm and lawyer by expertise, skill, speciality, area of law, location or name.
Members of the Far North Coast Law Society are private practitioners of law, large and small law firms and law students who work and live in the Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed Heads areas of the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, Australia.
Like you, our members are local and serving the community is important to them. We meet regularly to discuss industry issues and to continuously improve so we can best serve the community.
Why Use a Local Solicitor?
Whether you are buying a home, preparing your will or starting a new business venture a local Solicitor will provide essential advice to protect your best interests. Our Solicitors have an inherent understanding of local issues to ensure whatever your need, you receive the right advice.
Thankfully, not every matter needs to be resolved in a courtroom, but to achieve the best outcome for your particular situation, you need the best advice. Often, the earlier you receive professional advice, the better placed you are to deal with whatever the problem is, from personal injury to employment law.
Once you contact a local solicitor, you can meet and discuss the situation to assess your options. The solicitor you appoint can advise you on how to proceed in order to best protect your interests.
Finding a qualified solicitor with experience in the relevant area of law is your first and most important step. Far North Coast Law Society members are widely experienced, readily accessible and especially well-versed with local matters.
