Buying or selling a property can be an exciting time. It’s certainly one of the most important decisions that you will make in your lifetime. But that excitement can often be accompanied by confusion and stress as you try to understand the conveyancing process and its possible pitfalls.

A Stacks conveyancing expert can walk you through the steps you need to take to ensure that your purchase or sale runs smoothly and that your anxiety is kept at bay. We have many years of experience handling property sales, and we’ll explain every step of the way in plain English and keep you in the loop throughout the process.

This means that you get to focus on enjoying your property experience.

 

More than just conveyancers

At Stacks Law Firm we’re not only conveyancers, we’re also lawyers. That means that in addition to assisting you with the conveyancing process, we can also provide legal advice, expertise and protection in the event of a dispute with the vendors (sellers), purchasers (buyers) or tenants.

The Stacks conveyancing team is made up of conveyancing and property law specialists from our 25 offices across NSW and Queensland, including lawyers, licensed conveyancers and clerks, all working together to support your property needs.

The great advantage of having this network is that our specialists are able to draw on the expertise of other members of the group, and work as a team to resolve any issues that may arise throughout the conveyancing process. Each member of our group has close relationships with local real estate agents and property developers.

Our fees are no more expensive than the majority of conveyancing-only firms, but you have the added benefit of legal expertise.

Family law is an umbrella term designed to cover those areas of law which become relevant if your family relationship breaks down. It can also apply to circumstances arising from a family member's death or care proceedings involving children.

At Stacks we appreciate that being involved in proceedings or negotiations arising from the breakdown of your family relationship can be a distressing and confusing experience. You may be experiencing a feeling of lack of control over important events and decisions.

Our aim is to ensure that you are well informed about the progress of your matter, and of the options and remedies available to you. We want to resolve any proceedings in an efficient manner, whilst achieving the best possible outcome for you. We appreciate that it is important that you are involved in decisions about your case and we actively encourage you to work with us to achieve these outcomes. It is important that you understand the legal processes and their consequences, so we endeavour to provide advice that is easily understood.

Wealth growth and protection lawyers - Stacks Law Firm

When you have worked hard to build your wealth, you want to ensure that it is protected. Stacks can assist you to put the right legal structures in place both to grow your wealth and to protect it from risks.

Most people have assets. These might be in the form of a family home, a car, a business (such as a professional practice), a share portfolio, investment property, valuable artworks and so on. Most people who are fortunate enough to have a lot of valuable assets need a way to protect this wealth from risk.

We all know that you can’t take your wealth with you when you die. Wealth protection strategies are designed to prevent others taking your wealth from you while you are still alive. Wealth protection planning is a process by which the assets that make up a person’s wealth, whether they are personal assets, business assets or other investments, are organised so as to protect them from risk.

Building on the wealth that you already have is also a common goal. Investment opportunities can help you to grow your wealth. However, you need to ensure that the correct legal structures are in place, and that you understand the intricacies of the investment. Keeping your current wealth safe is always of paramount importance.

At Stacks Law Firm, we have lawyers from 25 offices in NSW specialising in the growth and protection of wealth. Our specialists regularly come together via conference calls and face-to-face meetings to share common precedents, pool resources and collectively problem solve. This is a real advantage for individual clients, who benefit from the shared knowledge of many experts.

Stacks can provide advice about secure and sound legal structures to help grow and protect your wealth, as well as minimising any negative repercussions in the case of credit issues.

Accidents & Injuries

Personal injury lawyers

Suffering an injury, no matter what type or how serious it is, can adversely affect your life and your finances. Stacks are here to help you get your life back on track as quickly as possible, and with the compensation you deserve.

Injuries affect us physically, mentally and emotionally. In some serious cases, they can even affect our ability to go to work, earn an income, and care for and provide for our families. The devastating impact of personal injuries can be even worse when you were not at fault, and the financial and emotional damage can be hard to recover from.

That’s why personal injury and compensation laws are in place in Australia, in order to help protect people from the negative consequences of being injured when they are not at fault. If you believe you may have a claim for a personal injury you’ve suffered, then the friendly and understanding personal injury compensation lawyers at Stacks will come to your assistance, give you expert advice (in plain, jargon-free English) and help you build the strongest case possible. We aim for a swift resolution to your case, and take care of all the complicated paperwork and processes, so you can get back to recovering from your injury as quickly as possible.

 

No-Win No-Fee Personal Injury Lawyers

Stacks are committed to seeing you start your journey to recovery. That’s why we operate on a no-win no-fee basis. This means that unless we win your case, and get you the compensation you deserve, you don’t pay us a fee. In workers compensation matters, once a matter has been accepted by the Workers Compensation Independent Review Office our fees are normally paid by them – not you – irrespective of the outcome. It’s just one way we help you keep your mind at ease while we fight to get you what you deserve.
