A NEW VIEW

ABOUT US

View Legal is a specialist law firm, focusing on tax, structuring, asset protection, business succession and estate planning.

The founders of View Legal are committed to building a law firm that our friends would choose.
View Legal is results focused and passionate about delivering solutions in a way that aligns with our 'SPS' - service and price satisfaction - guarantee.

OUR VISION

To achieve our vision, we have set out to fundamentally and radically revolutionise access to high quality legal advice, in our areas of deep specialisation – structuring, tax, trusts, asset protection, business sales, estate and succession planning.

OUR APPROACH

To explain the fundamentally different approach View Legal is taking to uniquely deliver valuable legal solutions, the following table explains 10 traditional ways law firms have operated (and, almost exclusively, continue to operate) and the new vision that View Legal is built around.

OUR WHY

At View Legal our mantra is to build the firm our friends would choose.
