Serving Sydney for over 140 years
History
Honesty, integrity and commitment to our clients: it’s how we’ve worked since 1882. And while the law has undergone many changes since then, we’ve continued to passionately and professionally pursue the best results for our clients.
Take a look back at the evolution of our boutique practice:
1882
Charles Thomas Poole sets up his practice – CT Poole & Son.
1914
Son Leonard partners with Charles and continues the practice until his father’s passing in 1933.
1966
CT Poole & Son joins forces with Maurice Buckley & Co (Maurice Buckley Snr and his son Maurice Buckley Jnr) as Maurice Buckley, CT Poole & Son.
1970
John Poole is welcomed into the practice as partner. When the Buckleys retire, John continues the practice as principal.
1988
After moving from Sydney CBD to Milson’s Point, the practice shifts to Norberry Terrace in North Sydney.
2013
On 11 February, the office moves to its present location at 5 Napier Street, North Sydney.
2021
John Poole commences a partnership with Philip Davis, a practitioner with over 20 years’ experience.
The office is open every day and John and Philip are available to visit clients at home, in hospital or at any other convenient location.
Ably supported by three support staff, John or Philip will meet with clients to discuss issues and to supervise the signing of documents.
Wills and estates law is a complex area. And too often, problems arise when wills and estates aren’t properly planned and administered.
We work in your best interests at all times. Whether you need a conveyancing expert, executor advice or assistance preparing or contesting a will, we’ll handle your affairs with care and veracity.
Estate Administration
John Poole has successfully acted as executor and trustee for many estates. With discretion and transparency, he’ll take the weight off your loved ones’ shoulders during a difficult time.
