Steph, Florence and Aisha provided a professional service and completed on a challenging timeline. Communication was clear and dealt with a couple of last minute issues and still managed to get the deal done. All members of the team were highly contactable and willing to advise on all issues. Would definitely recommend

Jenny Legg

Tagged solicitor Jenny Legg

Jenny and Katen have both been extremely helpful throughout the sale of our business – they have worked tirelessly to ensure we met the deadlines and ensured we were kept in the loop through every stage of the sale. Their communication skills were brilliant, no query was too big or too small and we always felt that we were being listened to. There was a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness which really made us feel supported through the sale. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Parker and Bullen again.

Karolyn Scott

Tagged solicitor Karolyn Scott

We contacted BHP for advice on a business venture we were conducting and they appointed Karolyn as our lawyer and her knowledge, professionalism and approach was exceptional. As we left we both said we couldn't have been appointed anyone better, so much so I personally approached her for her to recommend someone from BHP to sort out my will and probate which she went out of her way to help. She is always there and approachable unlike some of the legal people I have dealt with in the past in business and on a personal basis.

Glyn Lloyd

Tagged solicitor Glyn Lloyd

We are really glad to have come across Newfields Law Limited. We worked with Glyn and his team on getting our company’s sponsor licence, as well as sponsoring one of our employees. The whole process was smooth and straightforward—they guided us step by step, gave us the right advice, and provided all the necessary documentation clearly and on time. We felt supported at every stage, and it made the process so much easier than we expected. We’re really happy with the experience and grateful for all their help.
