About Us

Turnbull Hill Lawyers has been providing professional legal services to the people and businesses of the Newcastle and Hunter regions since 1969. Since that time, by offering a high level of service to clients, we have expanded, and now offer a comprehensive range of personal and business legal services.

Turnbull Hill Lawyers strives to get the best outcomes for its clients. The firm's success has always been based on giving personal attention to the details of every matter by a team of lawyers and paralegals, dedicated to pursuing the complete satisfaction of every client. This is why our lawyers continue to achieve top results for our clients. Underwriting the firm's success is the fact that Turnbull Hill Lawyers has been retained by thousands of clients on word-of-mouth referrals over the years.

Turnbull Hill Lawyers takes pride in the service provided to all clients, from a major business involved in launching a new corporate venture, to a sole parent seeking advice on a family matter.

We have a commitment not only to provide the highest possible level of professional advice and service, but also to provide advice which is practical and creative as a means of solving clients' problems wherever possible. We feel it is vital to appreciate a client's objectives when formulating advice and legal documentation, and to that end we liaise closely with our clients to ascertain our client's precise objectives in relation to any given circumstances.

Our high quality legal services are:

  • Efficient and, where appropriate, handled with urgency to meet your deadlines
  • Very accessible, due to the availability of our lawyers and our other team members
  • Excellent value for money

We have the experience, the support staff and the resources to ensure that your service requirements will not only be met, but exceeded.

Although our firm continues to grow, we have never forgotten our beginnings. Every client we represent today is as important to us as the first client who walked through our doors in 1969. We have come a long way from that two-man practice in 1969; today we employ over 55 staff.
