Bolt Findlay is a small local firm who offers a range of legal and mediation services to people of
the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.
What we do
We can help you with advice and legal representation. We will help you work through your legal issues and problems with as little stress as possible.
We will provide you with clear, easy to understand advice and will explain legal concepts using plain English. We want to help make the law accessible to all our clients.
We also offer a mediation service. Mediation is often an effective and efficient way to resolve disputes. It can also provide participants with a more cost effective and amicable outcome than traditional court based litigation.
What we believe
We believe in adopting an ethical, transparent and educated approach to our clients’ legal issues.
