After noticing that many of his clients were travelling in from the city’s fast-developing western suburbs, Mr Maclaren relocated his firm to Merrylands just five years later in 1950. Following the move the firm grew from strength to strength, offering services, advice and representation to local businesses and individuals that would normally be expected from a city firm. Today, Maclarens continues to offer outstanding value for money and expertise. With a strong history of acting for families, small business, developers and local government in the western Sydney area, the firm takes pride in the depth and breadth of services it provides. Maclarens has and continues to assist numerous charity and community organisations and clubs on a pro bono basis. Local Focus
Many businesses and families initially think that they have to travel into the city to get the best legal advice - until they visit Maclarens. At Maclarens we have the expertise, knowledge and experience to help you, combined with an understanding of local issues. We know the local business environment, the issues facing local families and individuals and we are conveniently located in the heart of Merrylands, close to the Parramatta C*D and the relevant courts. Expertise Available
We offer a wide range of services to clients, covering all aspects of personal and business legal services. Whether you are an individual looking for an accredited specialist in family law, or you work for a business needing help with a commercial dispute or debt recovery, we have the experience and the professional staff to help. Accessible and Approachable Lawyers
Big enough to cope with the demands of large organisations, but small enough to provide a close personal service to individual clients, at Maclarens we take pride in the fact that we can really get to know our clients and understand their legal needs. We take the time to build strong, lasting client relationships that reflect our commitment to saving client time and money. This allows us to act pro-actively, rather than reactively, and avoid legal issues arising in the first place. Our lawyers are readily accessible at all times, they can be contacted easily by telephone, email or in person, and most importantly, they give you simple, straight forward answers in language you can understand! Value for Money
Being a local practice means that we can avoid the large overheads of many city-based firms and offer high quality advice at very reasonable rates. We also have a long-standing, loyal and very stable team of professional staff which means that we are not paying to replace and retrain staff on a frequent basis and can maintain our expertise at lower rates. These factors combine to ensure you receive outstanding value for money and a real commitment on our part to minimise the costs you incur, without compromising the quality of our service. Modern and Progressive Approach
Even though the firm has a long history in the Merrylands area, at Maclarens we remain committed to keeping up to date with the latest tools and technology that can improve our services to you, the client. We also ensure that all of our lawyers have access to the latest information and reference resources and that they attend continuing legal education to finetune their skills and enhance their expertise. One of the more progressive policies we have introduced is the ability to provide legal services at our clients’ place of business or residence, offering even greater convenience to the client as well as assisting us to really understand the client’s business or individual circumstances. Our philosophy is simple, as a firm we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm; adopting whatever changes may be required to provide our clients with quality services that are relevant, and at a fair and reasonable price.
