About Us

Strategic legal guidance when it matters most.

Mullane Lindsay is an established Hunter Valley law firm, supporting clients since 1976. From our head office in the Newcastle CBD, we act for individuals, families and businesses across the Hunter and Australia, together with international clients with interests based in Australia. Our legal expertise ranges across commercial and business, estate planning, family law, insurance, litigation and property.

Behind this is a simple idea: good legal advice should be clear, practical and worth the cost. We explain the law in plain language, tell you where you stand, and help you decide what to do next.

The areas of law we practise

Our work is organised into areas of expertise, so you can find the help you need in one place:

  • Business: advisory, transactions, leasing, business succession and pharmacy law.
  • Estate Planning: wills and trusts, probate, contested wills and superannuation.
  • Family Law: separation, parenting, property, financial agreements and child support.
  • Insurance: professional negligence and property claims.
  • Litigation: commercial disputes, equity claims, insolvency and dispute resolution.
  • Property: conveyancing, transactions, leasing and developments.

How we work with you

We start with a confidential conversation about your situation and what you want to achieve. From there we give you clear options and a sensible next step, without the jargon. Quality, integrity and practicality guide everything we do, and we keep your costs front of mind.

An established Hunter law firm since 1976.

We have practised in the Hunter since 1976. In that time the firm has grown from its Newcastle roots into a team of lawyers, and has produced a judge, law lecturers, and office holders in local and state law societies. We are proud of where we come from, and we still recruit and train the next generation of Hunter lawyers, including graduates of the University of Newcastle.

Our people

Our lawyers bring decades of experience and real local knowledge. Several hold Law Society of New South Wales accredited specialist status, and our family law team is consistently recognised in the Doyles Guide. We are also trusted with complex commercial work and, for one major insurer, we are the only firm they instruct in New South Wales outside Sydney.
