APAC Insider Legal Awards Nomination | Dangerfield Exley Lawyers

Dangerfield Exley Lawyers are proud to have been involved in a number of high profile and noteworthy successful projects and matters.

Most recently, we worked with CBRE Real Estate Consultants to achieve a Melbourne strata record deal in the $8 million sale and leaseback of prominent Melbourne barrister Robert Richter’s ‘Crockett Chambers’ to investor Bernie Bialkower – an achievement which has garnered much media attention.

We have also advised clients in the purchase of other significant business ventures, such as a United Petroleum franchise and Novatel Telecommunications Pty Ltd, to name a few.

As part of our full serviceability model, we also act for a client based in China, who is involved in a multi-million dollar interstate Supreme Court proceeding against Westpac Banking Corporation involving allegations of international money laundering.

Finally, our DE Finance division has procured, on the higher end of the spectrum, multi-million dollar finance deals for a number of high level commercial clients including a Bayside medical practice and several major Melbourne property developers.


HIGH PROFILE CASES AND SUCCESSES

Most recently, we worked with CBRE Real Estate Consultants to achieve a Melbourne strata record deal in the $8 million sale

We provide clients with commercially high quality and practical solutions and resolutions to their legal matters, in accordance with our following core values and DE ethos:

1. Unlimitedlegalaccess. Unlike traditional firms, we don’t charge according to the clock for our core legal services such as conveyancing, mediation, leasing and commercial law. We quote and commit to fixed fees upfront to give our clients better clarity and certainty. We work diligently on a matter until the client is satisfied, and we strive to exceed their expectations every single time. We call this ‘unlimited legal access’ and we strongly believe that every client deserves it.

2. Wearenevertoobusyforourclients. We understand that waiting indefinitely for urgent legal advice or action can be agonising. For this reason we have a policy of answering or returning calls, responding to emails, providing regular updates and happily meeting in person on short notice, as required. In fact, we guarantee a response to client queries within 24 hours although the timeframe is usually shorter. To deliver on this promise, our directors routinely provide clients with their mobile telephone numbers with a sincere invitation to ‘never hold back’ from contacting them if they feel the need.

WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY TO WINNING OR REPRESENTING A CASE?



3. Clientsactuallyenjoydoingbusinesswithus. We are aware of the stereotype that people often assume dealing with lawyers is tedious, draining and intimidating. Although this may ring true elsewhere, we have worked diligently to demonstrate to clients how refreshingly different we are. Our clients love that we have personality and that we’re not afraid to show it to build good rapport with them. So although facing legal issues can sometimes be inherently unpleasant, our friendly and communicative approach aims to lighten any burden.

4. Westronglybelieveindoingtherightthing. We strive to deliver the right commercial outcome for you – with conviction. Our vision is to provide practical legal solutions with the utmost integrity. Our firm was founded on this steadfast moral code, which remains at the heart of how we operate every single day.

5. Wecreatesolutions! At Dangerfield Exley Lawyers, we resolve your legal matters efficiently. We find effective solutions without creating unnecessary issues, delays or costs. Every staff member is driven to embrace the same proactive ‘take charge’ attitude. And this is not by chance – our enviable culture is the result of the recruitment of very specific and compatible personality types, and our staff are afforded the trust and autonomy they deserve to achieve results.

6. Officetechnology We pride ourselves on embracing the latest cloud IT for Practice management system (LEAP), PEXA & office 365 and VoIP phone systems. We are prepared for the rapid transition of delivery of “e-legal services” whilst maintaining our personalised delivery with personality.


We are a dynamic firm of legal professionals with experience spanning several decades and across the board. We distinguish ourselves from other traditional law firms by ensuring a 24 hour response time so that clients are not kept waiting.

Unlike other more traditional law firms, we do not charge billable hours for our core legal services such as conveyancing, mediation, leasing and commercial law. In an industry where many lawyers are still labouring under outdated 6-minute billable units, we set ourselves apart from the crowd by ensuring that the ‘unlimited legal access’ we afford our clients is not time-costed and is instead encapsulated in fixed fee agreements that provide transparency and certainty.

We are a progressive law firm who pride ourselves on creating a positive, healthy working environment. We genuinely enjoy what we do. We are committed, motivated and self-sufficient. We aim to be frank, approachable and deliver our services at the highest standard. These qualities are reflected in our day to day business dealings and interaction with our clients. We find that our clients come back to us time and time again to engage our services because they have peace of mind, they know what to expect from us, and are confident that we can deliver full serviceability for all their commercial and legal needs.
