Committed to Upholding Your Legal Rights

OUR EXPERIENCE

David Kam & Co Solicitors is a law firm based in Sydney, Australia and was established in 1989. With over 35 years of legal practice, our firm has won the appreciation and recognition from many of our clients within Sydney, interstate and overseas.


Our firm is committed to upholding the legal rights of our clients and safeguarding their interests by providing quality legal services. We offer competitively priced legal services by achieving results in a professional and timely manner.

OUR GUARANTEE

The handpicked team of lawyers at David Kam & Co Solicitors offers clients numerous advantages over competing law firms. We focus on combining work quality and affordability for your legal matters.


We encourage each member of our team to focus on one or two complex legal areas rather than practicing as generalists. For example, we have separate lawyers who focus on business and commercial law, disputes and litigation, property law, and wills, probates, and estates.


You would not want a generalist doctor performing your brain surgery, nor would you want a generalist working on your complex legal issue. Rest assured, a team member with the appropriate and relevant experience will be working to assist you in your matter.
