Staff Profiles
O'Neills Business Lawyers was established in 1998 by its sole principal Mr Kerry O'Neill who has more than 30 years legal experience in many areas of the law.
Kerry had previously been the senior partner in a south-side suburban practice for 17 years and felt there was a strong need to provide a more personalised and cost-effective service to meet the legal needs of all clients.
Exceeding Expectations
All of this helps to provide clients with practical and affordable legal services. Clients rightly expect a high level of expertise, efficiency and professional ethics. O'Neills provides these things but also seeks to provide timely and cost effective but more importantly, simple to understand advice to enable you the client to make informed decisions and achieve the desired result.

Choosing a lawyer is difficult but O'Neills makes the choice easy. We provide a user-friendly service while maintaining the right attitude and a no-nonsense approach to helping you, and achieving "success together".
We aim to provide personalised, quality, value for money legal services to assist you to reach your goals whether personally or in business.
We aim to do this by providing:
- legal services which meet or exceed industry standards
- up to date legal information by maintaining ongoing education
- user-friendly services including discussing your matter in a non-legalistic way
- practical solutions for you rather than lots of legal terms
- prompt attention and accessibility
- reasonable and affordable professional costs whilst maintaining appropriate standards of work
We welcome your feedback on ways you feel might improve our services.
