Our Values
At Sterling Legal we aren't here to change the way that law is practiced, we just do it our own way. Gone is the impersonal, fee-focused and inflexible "old school" method of practice. We are breaking away from the status quo to embrace a client-focused model that puts you first and moves with the times.
Client Focus
Your needs, concerns and objectives are at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on providing a judgment-free zone where you are attentively listened to, with the end goal of providing you with a tailored legal strategy to suit your unique situation. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and guidance you need in your decision making and ensure you are supported and kept informed each step of the way.
Innovation and Adaptability
The world around us is in a constant state of evolution and we evolve with it. We live and breath innovation, leverage technology and progressive methodology to deliver efficient, effective and forward-thinking solutions that are devised entirely with the (ever-dynamic) needs and demands of your case in mind.
Integrity and Trust
It should go without saying that you should be able to trust your lawyer, after all, trust is the cornerstone of the profession. But for us, ethics doesn’t stop at the “Client Care Rules”. We uphold the strictest of ethical standards, fostering a culture of integrity, honesty, transparency and accountability. This extends to how we bill, we don’t just quote an hourly rate and start the clock. Where possible, our default practice is to quote you in advance for your work and hold ourselves to that quote. Where it is not possible to provide a quote upfront (e.g. Dispute Resolution), we will provide you quotes for each stage of work prior to commencing that work.
Community Engagement
We are not just legal practitioners, we take an active role in the community as well. We are committed to making a positive impact beyond the courtroom. We engage in pro bono work, support local initiatives and advocate for social justice causes.
Collaborative Partnerships
Your collaboration is invaluable. We believe in fostering a partnership where open dialogue and collaboration between lawyer and client are at the centre of everything we do. Through working together, we achieve the best possible outcomes for you.
