What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Business owners and property buyers feature prominently among the clients of this Melbourne legal practice, and reviews consistently highlight the quality of its conveyancing and commercial work. More than one customer describes settlement processes that ran smoothly and without stress, including interstate moves and transactions complicated by holiday timing, with files kept moving and correspondence maintained throughout.

Clear communication and transparent, upfront pricing are recurring themes, particularly for commercial matters where clients valued straight answers on costs. Named lawyers earn specific praise: Meng is described as professional and experienced, handling business sales and responding promptly without delay; Alice He is credited with identifying risks in a commercial lease and negotiating more favourable terms for a small business; and Jack and Van are thanked for their responsiveness on a property sale.

The firm's handling of powers of attorney, estate matters and repeat conveyancing instructions shows clients returning for further work, and reviewers often mention feeling well informed at every stage. Attention to detail, punctuality and an organised approach to documentation come through across numerous accounts. Business owners navigating lease negotiations and everyday buyers completing property settlements both appear comfortable entrusting their matters here, and the willingness of past clients to instruct the team again speaks to that confidence.

Nevile & Co provide excellent conveyancing service with our recent apartment purchase. Having moved from interstate it was a little more complicated for us and they helped every step of the way. So much so, we returned for our power of attorneys to be completed. Friendly excellent service, great communication highly recommend.

It's a no from me. Any solicitor that wants to charge you money before you even ask a few preliminary questions isn't worth engaging. Rang up looking for a solicitor to handle the purchase of a small business and mentioned that before I paid to engage the full service of a business purchase, i just wanted to clarify a couple of very small wording issues in a Heads of Agreement I had received, just to make sure that I was even at the stage where I needed a solicitor, but was told by the girl on the phone that no, I wouldn't be able to speak to a solicitor without paying money. No deal.

I strongly and sincerely recommend this law firm. My lawyer, Meng, is highly professional and very experienced. He takes my case very seriously and always provides expert advice from the client’s perspective. Meng works in a very organized and conscientious manner. He responds promptly and never delays matters. Communication with him is always smooth and efficient—he is able to identify the key issues very accurately and provide effective solutions. My case was ultimately resolved successfully. Throughout the entire process, Meng’s professionalism and sense of responsibility gave me great confidence and peace of mind. I feel very fortunate to have worked with such a professional, dedicated lawyer who truly cares about his clients. I would also like to mention that the barrister working with their firm is excellent as well—very experienced and highly professional.

We had an excellent experience working with Alice He on our commercial lease negotiation. She is highly professional, detail-oriented, and very responsive throughout the entire process. Alice helped us identify key risks in the lease and successfully negotiate much more favorable terms. Her advice was clear, practical, and gave us strong confidence in every decision we made. She is especially great for small business owners or startups who need reliable and knowledgeable legal support. Highly recommended.

Nevile & Co provided a great and prompt service to our business. Their communication was same-day, and they were very clear and open when it came to pricing. We couldn’t fault them and would highly recommend them to anyone. 🙂
