Kinslor Prince Lawyers was established in 2010 by our two principal solicitors with a clear set of underpinning values which have remained at the heart of our firm. We prize honesty, excellence, collaboration and compassion.
Honesty is foundational to our dealings with clients, colleagues and third parties. It helps us build relationships of trust in which we can operate efficiently and with the greatest impact. Our commitment to honesty means that we provide realistic advice about what we can achieve and what is within the bounds of the law. We speak to many clients who tell us that they would have made different choices if they had received honest and open advice in the past.
Our commitment to excellence allows us to achieve outcomes beyond the ordinary. We take the time to study, analyse the law, and to develop case strategies looking not only at present issues, but also likely future challenges. Through our work before Australian courts we have been at the forefront of the development of administrative law. We are well known throughout the legal profession in Australia as innovative thinkers and passionate advocates for our clients.
We do not only practice law. Our expertise enables us to teach immigration lawyers and migration agents, and we are regular speakers at peak industry and professional events. Additionally, we contribute to the examination of law and policy before the Australian Parliament.
Our clients are served not only by the lawyer they deal with directly, but by our whole team. Our success in helping clients with difficult cases is built upon the combined expertise and experience of our team working collaboratively, as we share insights, engage in joint analysis and develop case strategies. We also have strong relationships with external professionals, such as highly skilled barristers, who enhance our team as required.
Central to our work is client collaboration. From the outset we see our role as being to inform and teach clients about how the law operates in relation to their situation and empower them to make choices about their case and how they want to contribute to its preparation. Our clients have good ideas and we want to listen to them.
We recognise that the law we are practicing is fundamentally about people and it is our privilege to be entrusted with helping people at some of the most challenging times in their lives. We understand that, in practical terms, the law can operate harshly upon people. We also see legal avenues transform lives and families. We believe that it is our compassion which enables us to be effective advocates in this field of law.
