Why was Nowland Lawyers established?
Having worked in the legal profession for over 10 years, in variety of different roles, it became apparent to our principal that the once well known and trusted local law firm was becoming obsolete to larger more business orientated legal practices. Sadly, in the process of such a transition away of small local law firms, was also move away from client relationships, approachability of the profession to the community, humanity within the law itself and the high standard the legal profession was once held to.
Seeing a need within our community to re-establish and re-define “the trusted law firm” Nowland Lawyers was established.
