The Mahons approach

What makes us different? We know that our clients come to us during some of the most significant moments in their lives. So we believe that the support we offer should extend far beyond the law.

Since 1929 we’ve been combining plain-spoken, practical expertise with warmth, understanding and empathy. From managing personal matters to navigating complex business decisions, we work to earn your trust, then guide you toward the best possible outcomes.

We won’t overwhelm you with legal jargon – we bring human language to human situations. We’re responsive, but never rushed; we take the time to listen, we explain your options, and whichever decision you make, we’ll enact it with care.

What our clients are saying

Adam Docking, Director

“I have engaged Mahons Lawyers both professionally and personally for over 25 years. The professional support they have offered me in my real estate practice has been outstanding. Because of their incredible knowledge of business and personal law I have never needed to seek advice anywhere else. Mahons is certainly a ‘one stop’ for anything legal. As a result I have never hesitated to recommend Mahons Lawyers to my clients because I know all their legal needs will be catered to professionally and, more importantly, correctly. Mahons Lawyers are my only recommendation.”

John, Consultant & Business Broker

“The highest compliment that I can give to Mahons Lawyers is that I would always be working with you rather than against you! I have always found Mahons Lawyers to be very passionate about doing the absolutely right thing for their clients while being sympathetic to the individual circumstances and very approachable.I have been operating as a professional Business Broker for nearly 10 years and have also completed referral work for Mahons Lawyers involving some challenging mandates. I have found the partners and staff always willing to listen to “outside opinion” – which in itself is really refreshing when dealing with Lawyers! Anthony – you have also been good to provide wise counsel on a range of matters and also been prepared to seek my opinion on matters – which I believe reflects the collaborative approach that has been the successful growth of your law firm. I take this opportunity to wish Mahons Lawyers well for the future and have no hesitation in highly commending Mahons Lawyers to professionally represent clients over the broad spectrum of person and business legal matters.”

Stephen, Director

“I am a director of an established residential building company that proudly custom designs and builds new homes, in and around the inner east/south suburbs of Melbourne. I met Anthony over 16 years ago when I required conveyancing work on several property purchases and sales. During this time, he has successfully assisted me, many times from conveyancing, personal wills, drafting of employment contracts and other legal advice and matters as I needed. As I like to align myself with helpful professionals and need the right answer and solution to my immediate problem, Anthony is always available to assist within a reasonable time.As testament, Anthony’s number is still on my contact list after 16 years! Upon my request Anthony has happily assisted and advised my clients with their various legal issues – thus helping my business in eliminating any building related obstacles! Thank you Anthony for your service.”

Zoya, Vice President, Financial Adviser

“I have known Mahons Lawyers for over 20 years, both as an investment client and a business associate, specifically in the area of trusts, wills, probates and estates. Anthony is always a pleasure to deal with: honest, prompt and professional. I would have no hesitation in referring my clients and friends to Mahons Lawyers and his legal team in the knowledge that they will receive professional and competent service and advice.”
