All South Aussies are now able to access expert legal advice from the highly experienced and trustworthy team that is
Union Legal SA.
The in-house legal firm of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (SA Branch), Union Legal SA enables members and their families to access a range of legal services at a fraction of the cost of private law firms, potentially saving them thousands of dollars.
Now Union Legal SA is extending its services at competitive rates to the wider community, including matters of personal injury, workers compensation claims, criminal, workplace and family law. The respected firm also has lawyers who have extensive experience in the areas of conveyancing, Wills and probate.
“We pride ourselves on our dedication. Our whole team works hard to get the best outcome for every one of our clients,” Geraldine Hannon, Chief Legal Counsel, said.
Union Legal SA already helps many people navigate what can be a complex settlement process that goes with buying or selling their home through their conveyancing service.
“ANMF (SA Branch)’s in-house legal team took care of everything from liaising with the banks on our behalf, to ensuring all the paperwork required was in order. Engaging Union Legal SA was definitely the best and most cost-effective option for us and if it wasn’t for their advice and guidance, we wouldn’t be in our brand-new home,” said Enrolled Nurse Suzuka.
Surprisingly only half of Australians have a valid Will in place. However, without a Will, people’s hard-earned assets are distributed according to the laws of the State. This can increase the legal, financial and emotional burden for the people administering the estate.
“Many people just don’t realise how important it is to make sure you have a Will in place prepared by an experienced lawyer. It is the safest way to ensure your assets are distributed as you intended,’’ Ms Hannon said.
“We have excellent lawyers who can help make this process easy to understand and support you all the way through, so there is no need to keep putting it off.’’
To quote Registered Nurse Louise:
“Union Legal SA is amazing, and I can’t spruik about them enough... I felt extremely comfortable that I wasn’t going to be ripped off, had complete trust in the team and found the whole process much more cost-effective than having to deal with a private law firm’’.
Union Legal SA also provides Powers of Attorney (authorising another person to manage your legal and financial affairs) and Advance Care Directives (a legal document that clearly sets out your future health care, residence and end-of-life arrangements).
“We understand getting legal advice can seem daunting, but we are here to help. The team is committed to providing high-quality services at affordable prices so everyone can experience the peace of mind that comes with working with a trusted expert,” Ms Hannon said.
Union Legal SA operates from the ANMF (SA Branch) offices at 191 Torrens Rd, Ridleyton, South Australia, 5008.
