Our Mission
Our mission is simple; to use our experience and expertise to provide excellent quality and easy to understand legal advice at an affordable price point.
Magnolia Legal understands business and approaches every project with a commercial focus.
Unlike most firms, at Magnolia Legal your project is handled start to finish by a senior, highly experienced lawyer. No inexperienced junior lawyers, no costly edits—just top-notch, efficient legal work from the get-go.
In the legal world, it is commonplace that high legal fees fund fancy offices, expensive recruitment, and significant overheads. Magnolia Legal has gone back to basics. Engage Magnolia legal, and you get a very experienced and skilled lawyer at a significantly lower cost compared to a traditional law firm.
The Magnolia Legal Points of Difference

Reliable
We are there for our clients when they need us. We endeavour to be available for a quick phone call whenever possible, we promise to respond to communications within 24 business hours, and we are transparent about turnaround times.

Realistic
We don't make promises regarding outcomes we cannot achieve. We also do not shy away from difficult conversations, which are sometimes necessary in the practice of law.

Receptive
We understand that the provision of legal services is not one-size-fits-all. We collaborate with our clients to deliver our services in a manner that suits them and aligns with their business processes.

Responsible
We strongly believe in social responsibility and the significance of giving back. Read more about Our Charitable Commitment here.
