Proudly supporting our communities
WHO WE ARE
A Local Firm With Genuine Depth
We are proudly community-focused. Our lawyers live, work and raise families in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne CBD & Sunbury, and that local knowledge matters - we know the councils, the agents, the developers and the market. But local doesn’t mean small. Our property team has advised some of Australia’s leading property companies, and our commercial and banking lawyers act on transactions well beyond the north-west.
Local insight, backed by the depth of a much larger firm. That’s what Live Local, Think Big means to us. Nicholas James Lawyers was established in Essendon in 2014 with a vision to become a trusted, leading law firm in our community. As our reputation grew, we expanded to Sunbury and, most recently, moved into new offices in the heart of Moonee Ponds.

Your Local Lawyers
Most people come to us at a turning point. A house is being bought or sold. A marriage has ended. A parent has died and there is an estate to sort out. A business is signing something it cannot afford to get wrong. Those moments are rarely convenient and almost never simple. What they have in common is that the person in front of us needs to understand their options before they can make a decision.
That is how we work. We explain the law without the jargon, tell you what a matter is likely to cost before we start, and keep you informed as it moves. If the sensible answer is that you do not need a lawyer, we will say so.

If you're looking for a skilled, experienced and professional conveyancer, I can highly recommend Matt from NJL. His diligence, responsiveness and attention to detail filled me with confidence and made my part effortless.
Krystal Spiteri
★★★★★
I recently processed a sale, a purchase and legal with NJ, through Seona & Swati, genuinely I can't thank them enough for what they did for us. Seona sat with us through multiple tears and messy situations, she showed a genuine care for me and my family. It felt like she was in our corner the whole time. I will use NJ for all our needs from now on, couldn't rate them highly enough!

We recently worked with Matt Jakovljevic on our NSW property purchase and had an exceptional experience. Matt was proactive, thorough, and incredibly responsive throughout. He explained every step clearly, handled all issues promptly, and made what could have been a stressful transaction feel smooth and well-managed.
