Agency Services
DSC Lawyers provides prompt and efficient agency services for regional and interstate lawyers and for lawyers located anywhere requiring assistance in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings. The firm is located in the heart of the legal precinct of the Melbourne CBD and, as such, it is perfectly positioned to act as agent for other lawyers.
Regional and Interstate Lawyers
It is important for lawyers who are located outside of the Melbourne CBD to have access to reliable agency services. At DSC Lawyers we act as agent for regional and interstate lawyers in various areas including:
- Conveyancing settlements
- Probate lodgements
- Filing Court documents
If your firm requires an agent in Melbourne then the team at DSC Lawyers can assist.
Bankruptcy and Insolvency
A law firm cannot always specialise in all areas of law.
At DSC Lawyers we provide agency services to lawyers who require assistance in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings in the Supreme Court, Federal Court and Federal Magistrates Court.
It is important to be in a position to properly advise clients at an early stage in relation to bankruptcy and insolvency matters. The advice needs to begin when your client issues or receives a Bankruptcy Notice or Creditors Statutory Demand. There are many arguably defective Bankruptcy Notices and Statutory Demands. Having regard to the technical nature of the jurisdiction, it is necessary when drafting these documents to ensure that they are correct in all respects. It is also necessary, should your client should receive a Bankruptcy Notice or Statutory Demand, to be able to promptly identify any defects so as to be able to advise your client as to the prospects of a successful application to set aside the document. In some cases, by retaining DSC Lawyers as your agent you may avoid the need to brief Counsel.
We appreciate that bankruptcy and insolvency are at times complex areas of law that can prove not to be commercially viable for firms who do not regularly practice in those areas.
If your firm requires an agent to assist with bankruptcy or insolvency matters then the legal team at DSC Lawyers can assist.
