Danaher Moulton

With a decade of experience under our belts, our team has worked in a variety of different practices in a number of different areas of law
The common thread tying each of these together? A focus on getting you results, common sense and value-for-money.

In many cases, the outcomes aren’t always ideal. This is especially true if little effort is made to understand clients’ circumstances and needs, or if the likely outcome isn’t actionable or practical.

And when it comes to your company and personal affairs, that simply won’t do.

A law firm in Kew and Melbourne with a difference

New and fresh legal approach
We have a new and fresh approach to providing you with legal services. Our focus is on helping you. The result for you is peace of mind, so that you can focus on other more important matters in your life.

Maximise position, minimise risk
You want to maximise your present position and achieve your goals, while minimising the risk and any uncertainty to you, your business, your family and your interests. We can help you get there.

Built on understanding
Behind all of our advice and legal solutions is a thorough understanding of the law. We combine this with a full appreciation of your unique circumstances, as well as your end goal and how quickly you want a resolution.

We get it right the first time
It is our view that it is better to get things right from the outset rather than cut corners at the start and then incur substantial costs later to undo, alter or fix up. This means a faster resolution for you, at a lower overall cost.

Good value for money legal services
It can be hard to pay for a lawyer’s services. However, it’s a lot easier when you know for a fact that you’re getting quality service and a solution that you can actually put into practice. It’s why that’s our focus here at Danaher Moulton!

Lawyers specialising in commercial and private matters
Our lawyers in Kew and Melbourne work closely with other professional service providers to offer you comprehensive solutions for your company and private legal issues

While your issues might be legal in nature, that doesn’t mean the solution is always strictly a legal one.

Our team is committed to providing you with effective, lasting solutions. Oftentimes, legal actions are only one part of the solution – in many cases, you might need to bring on board other professionals.
