ABOUT C LEGAL & CO

Strategic legal advice to protect your assets and preserve your legacy

C Legal & Co is a specialist law firm that works with established business owners, entrepreneurs and families to protect what they’ve built and prepare for what’s next.

We design asset protection strategies to ensure your wealth and structures are safeguarded for the long term, and provide estate administration services to support a smooth transfer of assets when the time comes.

We focus on:

  • 1Asset protection for those with wealth, business and family interests to safeguard
  • 2Estate administration support for those handling complex arrangements

Our clients include:

  • Business owners who need more than a basic Will to protect their wealth
  • Entrepreneurs with complex structures, investments and succession plans
  • High-net-worth families focused on safeguarding their legacy for generations

We give you certainty that what you’ve built will be protected, preserved and passed on as you intend.

Your wealth is too important for templates

You won’t find us offering cookie-cutter estate plans or automated fill-in-the-box Wills. Those shortcuts aren’t built for people with significant wealth, multiple businesses or complex family structures – and they’re simply not enough to protect what matters most. 

That’s why C Legal & Co partners with business owners, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth families who want more. More strategy. More clarity. More confidence in the future.

We’ll help you to:

  • 1Cut through the complexity to make the big picture clear
  • 2Create bespoke strategies that adapt as your life and business evolve
  • 3Safeguard your assets, structures and legacy for the long term

This isn’t just paperwork. It’s a partnership. We’ll be there to support you and your family through life’s major milestones. 

Because protecting your legacy should be as intentional as building it.

Woodward Productions

I was most impressed by the services provided by C Legal & Co throughout the sale process. It turned out that the sale was not straightforward in that an old legacy mortgage existed over the property that I was not aware of. This mortgage was in the name of my old company which I had sold in 2007. C Legal was able to deal with the owners of the company to efficiently release the mortgage. This was very much appreciated and was very well done by C Legal. I have no hesitation in recommending C Legal & Co for similar conveyancing work.

Despite the complexities of the sale, the team at C Legal & Co ensured the transaction was completed efficiently, and error free. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and knowledge of the processes involved and the safeguards required, made the team a pleasure to work with and the sale a smooth and successful one.

Claire Styles at C Legal & Co came highly recommended to me for a recent property settlement. I was so happy with Claire’s knowledge, quality of service and delivery on what she said she would do, as well as her clarity of communication and professionalism. I was also impressed with the up-to-date technology Claire used throughout the process to make things much easier and more streamlined than experiences I have had with lawyers in the past. Additionally, I found Claire’s service to be solid value for money compared with other experiences I have had with previous lawyers. I definitely recommend Claire without hesitation.
