Our Practice

our practice

We understand people need legal advice that works for their individual situation. One size doesn't always fit all. Our advice is tailored to help our clients, whether they are large or small, public or private entities, a family or an individual. We listen to what you need.

We know that choosing a law firm is not an easy task. We listen, evaluate, and offer solutions. Our advice is practical and cost effective, aimed at resolving things proactively while minimising stress. From our experience, the best way to do this is through developing understanding and rapport by treating clients with empathy and dignity.

Our team of lawyers are highly regarded with a depth of experience and credibility which underpins Norris Ward McKinnon’s solid reputation in the legal market and our community. Put simply, we are real people dealing with the real issues that affect our clients day-to-day.
