WHO WE ARE

Hones Lawyers is a boutique legal firm based in North Sydney specialising in planning, environmental & local government law.

How we can help you

Buying, selling or altering a property comes at a cost as well as potential liabilities if certain legal obligations and requirements are not adhered to.  At Hones Lawyers, we make sure your business, property or investments are safeguarded, while helping you reach your business’ goals. Navigating planning laws can be a lengthy process, especially when they involve complex property development, environmental and planning issues.

To avoid property value loss and possible hefty penalties and fines, it is important to ensure all planning law requirements are met before buying or selling your property, renovating or undertaking construction works.

We specialise in property, planning, and environment law and we can provide assistance whether you are thinking of undertaking renovations, construction work, leasing out or if you are inheriting historical environmental issues.  We prepare documentation and representation, and provide specialist advice on environment and planning law and the land and environment court.
