24.01.2022 3 minutes with... Erin Taylor Our fierce Conveyancer, Erin is never afraid to take on a challenge! She has years of experience both off-stage (in residential and large-scale commercial conveyancing matters), and on-stage (displaying her impressive burlesque talent). As a local music fiend with a love of entertaining, be sure to check out her sneaky appearance on ABC’s Rage broadcast of M.A.R.I.A by soft tigers. ... So Erin, time to share three little known factoids with your fans!

06.01.2022 Were taking this whole digitisation thing very seriously. In the interests of reducing our footprint and providing even greater access to secure, contactless legal services, we have committed to going paperless as of 1 July 2020.

We dont think our printer provider will be happy that our clickrate is going through the floor, but the planet (and hopefully our wonderful clients!) will thank us... :)
