Lawyers in Brighton & Bayside Melbourne
Quinn & Quinn Lawyers is a genuinely local firm, based on Male Street in the heart of Brighton. Personalised, plain-English advice for the families and businesses of the bayside.
Your local legal team in the heart of Brighton
Brighton has always had its own character. It is a community of established family homes, small businesses along Church Street and Bay Street, and people who value knowing the professionals they rely on. Quinn & Quinn Lawyers has been part of that community for many years, and our office at Level 1, Suite 120, 3 Male Street sits right in the middle of it, a short walk from Brighton Station and the shops.
We act for individuals, families and business owners across the bayside, from Brighton and Hampton through to Sandringham, Black Rock, Elsternwick, Elwood and Bentleigh. Being local is not just about a convenient address. It means you can sit down with your solicitor face to face, and it means we understand the things that matter here, from the value tied up in the family home to the pace of the local property market.
We are also part of the Sather Legal Group, a network of respected firms across Victoria and New South Wales. That gives our clients the reassurance of broader depth when a matter needs it, while keeping the personal, one-on-one service you expect from a local firm.
How we help bayside families and businesses
We advise across the areas of law that Brighton and bayside clients reach for most often. Each one has a local dimension, and you deal with an experienced solicitor throughout.
- Wills and estate planning. Wills, testamentary trusts, powers of attorney, guardianship and estate administration. With so much bayside wealth held in the family home and investment property, a clear estate plan protects the people you care about and helps avoid disputes later.
- Property and conveyancing. Buying or selling a home in Brighton, Hampton or Bentleigh, or an apartment in Elsternwick and Elwood. We review contracts and section 32 statements and manage settlement so one of the biggest transactions of your life goes smoothly.
- Dispute resolution and litigation. Commercial disputes, contract disagreements and estate litigation, handled with a practical, cost-conscious focus on getting you back to business or life.
- Business and company law. Structures, contracts, acquisitions and commercial advice for the many owner-run businesses across the bayside, from professional practices to hospitality and retail.
- Selling property. Guidance for vendors across the bayside, including the disclosure obligations and contract preparation that come with selling in a competitive local market.
- Building and construction. Contracts and disputes for renovations, knock-down rebuilds and developments, which are a constant feature of a suburb where established homes are regularly renewed.
Local knowledge that saves you time and worry
A lot of legal work in the bayside is shaped by property. Homes here carry real value, families often own more than one, and the market moves quickly. That reality runs through estate planning, conveyancing, family arrangements and disputes alike. A firm that works with bayside clients every week understands how these threads connect, so we can spot the issues that matter and keep your matter moving rather than stalling.
It also means we are easy to reach. When something needs a conversation, you can come into the Male Street office, and you will speak with the solicitor who knows your file rather than starting again with someone new each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
A local firm knows the bayside and the people in it. We are a short walk from the Church Street shops and Brighton Station, so meeting in person is easy, and you deal with the same solicitor from your first appointment to the end of your matter. For everyday legal work such as a will, a property sale or a dispute with a builder, that continuity and accessibility usually matters more than the size of the letterhead. As part of the Sather Legal Group, we also draw on a wider network when a matter calls for it.
Yes. Wills, powers of attorney, guardianship and estate administration are among the areas we handle most often for Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham and Elwood families. Many bayside households hold significant value in the family home and investment property, so a clear, well drafted estate plan is important. We also act in disputed estates when a will is contested, which is a growing issue as property values across the bayside rise.
We do. Whether you are buying a home in Bentleigh, selling in Black Rock, or dealing with an off the plan apartment in Elsternwick, we handle the conveyancing and the contract review. Bayside property moves quickly and often at a premium, so getting the contract, the section 32 statement and the settlement right the first time protects one of the largest transactions most people ever make.
