About the firm

A small practice on a quiet lane in Surry Hills.

We keep the practice small on purpose, so every file has a solicitor who knows it well.

How we work

Each matter starts with a conversation about what you need and what it will cost, confirmed in writing.

We return calls the same working day where we can, and we send short updates whenever something moves.

Clare Ashdown

Clare Ashdown is the principal solicitor at Bellbird Row Lawyers and looks after property, estates and family matters.

She likes a clear checklist, a tidy file and a client who leaves the first meeting knowing what happens next.

Finding us

The office is on the second floor of a converted warehouse on Kestrel Lane, a short walk from Central Station.

How a matter runs

Shelves of bound reports in a calm, bright reading room
  1. A first call

    Tell us what has happened and what you need. We will say whether we can help and who will look after it.

  2. Costs in writing

    Before any work starts you receive an estimate and a short letter setting out the scope.

  3. The work itself

    Drafting, searches, letters and negotiation, with a note to you each time something changes.

  4. Wrapping up

    We confirm what was done, hand back your originals and tell you anything left to watch for.
