A firm built on judgement and relationships.

Collins & Collins is a boutique practice in Kew East. We are deliberately small, so that experienced lawyers — not files — stay close to the people we act for.

Our approach

Senior counsel, start to finish.

We founded Collins & Collins on a simple idea: that clients facing an important legal decision want the combination of expertise and personal attention that only a focused firm can offer. When you instruct us, you deal directly with a principal lawyer who understands your circumstances and stays across your matter from the first conversation to its resolution.

We act across a focused set of connected areas — property, commercial, building and construction, hospitality, disputes and employment — which means we can see how a problem in one part of your business or life affects the others, and advise accordingly. We are particularly proud of the many family-owned and private businesses we are trusted to act for.

Fees you can plan around.

We believe cost should never be a surprise. At the start of every matter you receive a written costs disclosure and an estimate of the likely fees, and we keep you informed if anything changes. Where it suits you better, we are always willing to discuss a fixed-fee arrangement instead of hourly billing.

We will always give you a clear estimate of likely costs before we begin. We are also glad to discuss a fixed-fee arrangement where that suits your matter better — please contact us and we will tailor a costs proposal to your needs.
