About Us

Our Story

At CLS Legal, we focus on the outcome rather than getting lost in the process

Big is not always better when it comes to choosing a law firm. Costs can quickly add up at a large practice, and your matter risks getting lost among hundreds of others. CLS Legal is a Sydney law firm built on a different idea: more attention with outcomes that actually matter to you.

At CLS Legal, we will strive to find a quick and cost-effective solution to your unique legal circumstances, no matter how complex. We are retained by many individuals, SMEs and larger private companies.

As a law firm Sydney developers and growing businesses trust, we work across a broad range of matters, from some of the largest property developments in the private sector to complex commercial litigation.

Decades of Experience, One Straightforward Promise

CLS Legal was founded in 2010 by Carolyn Deigan, who was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1977. Almost five decades on, that same close attention to each client still shapes how the firm works today, whatever the size or complexity of the matter.

When you call CLS Legal, you speak directly with the solicitor handling your matter, not a call centre or a rotating cast of junior staff. We explain your options in plain English, set realistic timeframes, and keep you updated at every stage, so you always know where your matter stands.

      The Grounds

        I have dealt with Carolyn Deigan and her team at CLS Legal for more than 10 years now and have always been impressed with their level of service and commercial approach to resolving legal matters. It is very rare to find a firm of lawyers who genuinely care about their clients and CLS is definitely one of them.

        Alpha Consulting Group

          Carolyn acts for me personally and in my real estate business. The trust that I have developed with Carolyn and her team allows me to get on with running my business knowing that she has my back without costing a fortune. Carolyn now acts for many of my other real estate clients that I have referred and I know that she always has their best interests at heart.

            Carolyn and the team at CLS Legal have been my legal representative for the past 6 years for both my company and personal issues. Over the past 6 years, I have found Carolyn and the team to be highly professional and very easy to approach and discuss any issue requiring legal action and/or direction. I would highly recommend this firm.
