Mr Carney said he hopes to use his new position to expand the expert services provided at the firm, seeing demand in the community for superior legal services across a number of areas, despite the impact of COVID-19.

“The family law practice area continues to grow, but we are also seeing demand in other areas. There are plans to increase our presence in the Newcastle and national market, aided by the recent redevelopment of our website and the addition of new lawyers and support staff.”
