The Judge's Perspective: A Higher Standard of Conveyancing

At Melbourne International Lawyers, we believe that standard conveyancing is not enough. Your property deserves a superior level of scrutiny and protection. That is why every single file is personally overseen by our principal lawyer, a former judge with decades of experience in the legal system.

This is what we call The Judge’s Perspective.

It means your Contract of Sale isn’t just processed; it’s meticulously examined for risks and opportunities. It means negotiations are handled with a deep understanding of the law. It means we don’t just follow a checklist; we uphold a standard of unwavering integrity to protect you, your family, and your investment. We replace legal complexity with calm confidence.

Judge Sam Samarakoon

With a distinguished career spanning decades, including time on the bench, Sam Samarakoo brings an unparalleled depth of legal knowledge and ethical oversight to every conveyancing matter. His commitment to justice and fairness is the foundation of our practice.

Conveyancer vs Solicitor — What’s the Difference?

A conveyancer can handle standard property transfers, but a solicitor is qualified to advise on and manage a much broader range of legal matters related to conveyancing.

In addition to completing standard transactions, a solicitor can provide advice and solutions in complex scenarios such as ownership disputes, trusts, off-the-plan purchases, and taxation. Solicitors can also deal with legal matters that go beyond conveyancing, including property settlements in divorce, estate planning, inheritance issues, and representation in court if disputes or litigation arise.

Choosing a solicitor for conveyancing offers broader legal protection and expertise, making them ideal when contracts involve unusual terms, higher risks, or overlap with other legal areas.
