Miller Noyce was established in 1924 by Mr Keith Miller and is one of Hornsby’s longest established law firms. We strive to provide professional, personal and practical legal advice and assistance of the highest standard.
The firm has long-standing connections in this locality and continues to act for a great number of families who have and still live in this district. However, just as many of those clients have moved far afield, the firm also acts for people who live and work in more distant places and in fact in many parts of the world.
We realise that people’s needs and circumstances are ever changing and evolving, and despite the pressures of modern life, it is paramount to ensure that we maintain high standards of personal service. The firm has been helping people since 1924 and is determined to continue providing a high level of personalised legal services for many years into the ever changing future.
In 2024, the firm will celebrate 100 years of service.
We frequently prepare Wills, Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Guardians for people in many and various circumstances, including Wills for clients who have been married before and who have a “blended family” and also Wills involving “testamentary trusts”. We also have considerable experience in advising clients who have a need to make special provision for particular beneficiaries, such as children with disabilities. Importantly, we also commonly provide advice at that time on related issues concerning superannuation.
We handle various disputes and claims before the Courts in relation to Estates, including challenges to the validity of Wills, disputes between beneficiaries and executors and also claims of various kinds for further provision under the Succession Act.
We have considerable litigation experience handling disputes of many kinds across most jurisdictions, but primarily matters involving proceedings before the Supreme Court.
We have extensive experience in handling a wide range of business and commercial matters, including the sale and purchase of businesses, advising on the structure and restructuring of those businesses, advising on insolvency issues and the duties and responsibilities of directors, assisting with partnership and joint venture agreements and advising and assisting in the finalisation of licences and franchises. The range and diversity of these matters is as broad as the great variety of the businesses involved. Doug Spencer has been an Accredited Specialist in Business Law since 1993.
For many years we have handled the sale, purchase, redevelopment, lease and restructure of properties of all kinds; be they residential, commercial or rural, including properties in company title buildings and interests in retirement villages.
