The Far North Coast Law Society is recognised by the Law Society of New South Wales as one of its 29 regional law societies and is the pre-eminent organisation representing Solicitors in Northern New South Wales.

President’s message:

The first object of our FNCLS constitution is “To develop communication between members of the Society ... and any other body or individual of interest or importance to the members”. Of great importance to our members is you; the residents, workers, business operators, other professionals and in fact all members of the community in our region.

This website helps you to quickly and readily locate and contact a suitably qualified Legal Practitioner within our region. In this website you will find the contact details of all our members, plus their accredited specialities, and areas of law in which they practise.

This website also portrays the region’s Legal Practitioners under a united professional banner. It assists FNCLS members to access the NSW Law Society’s information, promoting the objects of our Society.

I commend it to you.

Clarissa Huegill
President, FNCLS

Like you, our members are local and serving the community is important to them. We meet regularly to discuss industry issues and to continuously improve so we can best serve the community.

We support various community events, conduct local fund-raising and hold a number of Charity functions throughout the year.

The Far North Coast Law Society encourages the next generation of legal practitioners by providing a number of scholarships together with cash prizes for Southern Cross University law students.
