C E Chapman & Co

C E Chapman & Co Lawyers boasts a storied history, having been founded in the early 1930s in Sydney CBD by Clarence Ernest Chapman. Now situated in Kensington, merely a few kilometres from its original location, the firm continues to honour its founder's name. With a comprehensive practice covering most areas of law, our expertise spans business and commercial matters, conveyancing and property laws, as well as wills, probate, and estate planning. We are equipped to handle family law, de facto relationships, and a range of litigation issues, including debt recovery, commercial leases, and tenancy laws. Our clientele is diverse, from large organisations to small business operators, and we provide the same meticulous care across the board. Our legal services include expertise in selling, purchasing, leasing, and advising on aspects such as GST, stamp duty, partnerships, and trusts. We facilitate property transactions, including finance acquisition, first home buyer assistance, and ownership apportionment for couples, as well as developing wills and estate plans. Our firm is adept at managing subdivisions and developments, collaborating closely with professional counterparts to ensure successful outcomes. Recognising the importance of robust estate planning, we advise on Powers of Attorney and Guardianship, and manage deceased estates and Family Provision claims. In family law matters, we assist with property division, separation, divorce, and child-related issues, providing representation in the Federal, Supreme, District, and Local Courts. Our advocacy extends to both recoveries and defences in debt matters and landlord-tenant disputes in both commercial and residential contexts. We pride ourselves on forging strong personal connections with our clients, many of whom have been with us for years. Understanding the demands of modern life, we offer home visits and flexible appointment timings.
