A little bit of history…

South East Lawyers opened in 1994 after Ann Gambetta expanded her legal practice and moved from Melbourne’s CBD into the small-to-medium business heartland at suburban Croydon. The practice has become a reflection of her balanced and practical approach. Over time the practice expanded and our client base grew to include local, interstate and international companies.

In response to our diverse clientele South East Lawyers opened a new branch office at Berwick in 2005 and since that time we have continued to grow from strength to strength.

South East Lawyers continue to position ourselves as a modern, service oriented legal practice. Our Lawyers have proven skills and experience and you can rely on our professional team and their expansive network of business affiliates to assist with any issue.

South East Lawyers pride ourselves on advice that is practical, and solutions to legal issues that are innovative and commercially realistic.
