A highly specialised advisory, family office & private clients firm.
For more than 25 years, SGL has built its reputation advising sophisticated private clients, families, family offices and businesses on complex legal, commercial and structural matters.
The evolution of SGL brings together established practices and experienced lawyers with complementary expertise across private client advisory, succession, property, corporate and commercial law as well as dispute resolution.
The result is a firm that values personal relationships, discretion, independence and experienced advice.
SGL brings together the Sydney CBD practice of Sekel Grinberg Judd and the Double Bay practice of NL Legal, combining decades of experience and longstanding client relationships.
These developments have increased the depth of the firm while preserving the boutique model that has defined it for more than 25 years.
Clients continue to deal directly with experienced lawyers who know them, understand their affairs and appreciate that no two families, businesses or transactions are the same.
SGL provides legal, commercial and strategic advice across the lifecycle of our clients' personal, family and business affairs: from acquisition and structuring through to governance, growth, succession and the next generation.
This reflects the approach at the centre of SGL's broader advisory model: one trusted relationship across every milestone of a family's legacy.
Our capabilities extend across
SGL has deliberately remained independent.
That independence allows us to provide advice based solely on the interests and objectives of our clients, without institutional conflict.
For families and businesses with complex affairs, we work closely with accountants, tax advisers, financial advisers and other trusted professionals. Legal, financial, tax and governance considerations can then be considered together rather than in isolation, providing clients with a coordinated approach to complex decisions.
Our experience extends to cross border transactions where family and/or assets are located internationally.
The relationships we build are intended to last.
For private clients and family offices, that means understanding not only the current generation but the structures, businesses and responsibilities that will eventually transition to the next.
This long term approach is fundamental to SGL.
Many of our clients are successful individuals, families and businesses who value privacy as highly as expertise.
Our work is frequently complex and consequential, but rarely public.
You may not have heard of us.
This is intentional.
SGL combines the discretion and personal relationships of a boutique practice with the depth of experience required for sophisticated private, family and commercial matters.
Excellence. Always.
