About our founder
Linda Alexander is originally from Cootamundra, a town in regional New South Wales where she still has family and visits frequently.
Linda was admitted as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW in 1994 and has a Diploma in Law and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practise.
After starting her legal career by chance in the insurance litigation field and finding it wasn’t for her, Linda spent many years with JMA Legal Business Lawyers – a mid-sized commercial firm with a footprint across NSW. Linda maintained the firm’s Sydney office as director/shareholder. During that time, she handled a large array of matters from establishing and restructuring business structures, establishing, updating and advising on self managed super funds (SMSF) including limited recourse borrowing and transferring business real property documentation.
In addition, Linda has general commercial experience with advising and drafting shareholder agreements, liquidating and deregistration of companies, share buybacks and business purchase and sales.
Linda has also provided clients with advice on trusts and has amended hundreds of deeds to address different issues for discretionary, unit trusts and superannuation deeds.
Over the years, Linda has developed a particular interest in helping people with their estate planning wants and needs. This includes, not only a client’s Will, but looking at their particular circumstances, be it an associated family trust, private company, unit trust or SMSF to ensure all assets and entities are dealt with in way that suits the client. Linda’s commercial knowledge is well placed to assist in the estate planning arena.
With ‘blended’ families becoming increasingly prevalent in society an understanding of the family provision law ie Chapter 3 of the NSW Succession Act is important to work into any estate planning discussion.
In starting her own practise in 2018, Linda decided to focus on what she enjoys doing the most, Wills and high level estate planning which includes SMSF and family trusts. In addition to the firm’s core focus, family provision (or Will dispute) advice, probate applications & administration and general conveyancing work.
Linda is a member of the Law Society of NSW, admitted as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW and is listed on the register of the High Court of Australia. Linda is also a member of the Self Managed Super Fund Association.
Linda and her husband, David have three adult children (and a dog) and live on the north shore of Sydney.
