Welcome to Heard McEwan Legal

Heard McEwan Pty Ltd (trading as Heard McEwan Legal) is a leading Illawarra-based legal firm with offices in Wollongong's CBD and at Corrimal, Dapto and Shellharbour City. Its strength is not only experience and wide-ranging expertise but also the invaluable community contacts established during more than four decades of legal practice in the region. Under the leadership and direction of five Directors; Malcolm Heard, John McEwan, Nathan McEwan, Nathan Heard and Peter Franke, its team of approximately 40 people enables the tackling of large tasks that in the past could only be undertaken in Sydney, while the team structure delivers a personal touch. The full spectrum of legal services is offered with specialist accreditations from the Law Society of New South Wales in Business Law, Property Law and Commercial Litigation benefiting clients. In particular, the Directors have a demonstrated ability in serving clients in the fields of property, commercial contracts, all types of litigation, the conduct and structures of businesses and corporations and regulatory compliance.

The business networking in place for clients big and small is unparalleled in the Illawarra. Acting as we do for State and Local Government, as well as major Sydney-based and national clients, adds immeasurably to our contacts. This allows the opening of doors for clients, particularly companies wanting to establish in the region, without the fuss and red tape that often exists.

Malcolm Heard and John McEwan are recognised leaders in their respective fields, regularly speaking at seminars on a variety of topics and often having clients referred to them by The Law Society of New South Wales and other legal firms in the Illawarra and South Coast areas drawn to their expertise as Accredited Specialists.
