What We Do
At Kelly & Chapman, we can help you in many areas of law whether you are buying or selling a home, business, or wanting to write a will, for example.
We Can Provide Legal Assistance
in the Following Areas:
Powers of Attorney
Powers of attorney are legal documents that let you choose someone who can make decisions for you. Powers of attorney give you choice and control.
Civil and Commercial Litigation
Very few people want to be involved in court proceedings. They can be protracted, stressful, costly and the outcome is not always predictable.
Criminal Law
It is an unfortunate fact of life that ordinary, decent and generally law-abiding people occasionally fall foul of the law.
VCAT
Many minor and specialised disputes are dealt with at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
Wills & Probate
Wills & Probate focuses on managing a person’s estate after death, including validating wills, distributing assets, settling debts, and handling inheritance matters to ensure the deceased’s wishes are carried out legally.
Property Law
Property Law deals with the ownership, use, transfer, and protection of real estate and property rights, including buying, selling, leasing, and resolving property disputes.
Notary Public
If you’re sending legal documents overseas, many foreign governments, courts, and institutions will only accept them if they’ve been notarised by an appointed Notary Public.

Misko was very helpful and thorough. We have used his services twice now and we have found him very easy to talk to and went the extra mile to see us at short notice. I would recommend the practice to anyone.

May 3, 2026Today the cycle of buying and selling was completed. We were recommended to Kelly and Chapman by a friend who said that Susan and Laiany are the most competent team to handle the conveyancing for a purchase and sale. Throughout the process of buying and selling we were always kept updated and fully informed. When selling potential purchasers were requesting special conditions along with various requests. The recommendations in answer to these from both Susan and Laiany were always sound and relevant in safeguarding our interests. Laiany and Susan are the hardest working conveyancing team we have come across in the many property transactions we have been involved in over the years. We can highly recommend them if you require a conveyancer. Thank you Susan and Laiany

September 2, 2025We found Susan Gale-Phillips to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and meticulous. She alleviated any concerns and went above and beyond, always explaining everything to us at all times. There was peace of mind, knowing we didn't have to worry about a thing as we were in great hands. Susan made the whole process clear and easy. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan Gale-Phillips from Kelly Chapman Lawyers.

January 21, 2026Working with Susan has been an exceptional experience. She stands out as the most proactive and organised conveyancer I've encountered till date, whose efficiency has notably simplified the process. Additionally, I'm deeply grateful for her constant eagerness and positive approach, which have significantly enhanced our interactions.
