We are experienced – The principal of the firm Philip Gilderdale has Commerce and Law Degrees from the University of New South Wales, and has practised full time as a solicitor in New South Wales since his admission as a solicitor in 1976. Since that time, Philip has acquired the skills and experience to handle every aspect of even the most complex and sophisticated legal cases.

We are local – Having been working as a solicitor in Forbes and surrounds since 2001, our team has a special insight into the unique needs and demands of country clients and the difficulties they may face. Philip also has a personal interest in the local Forbes community through his involvement in Rotary. 

We offer a genuine and personal service – Thanks to our small team, larger firms cannot match our level of response and attentiveness to clients. We offer a personal and caring attention and service to clients. We recognise that no two situations are identical and that everyone has different needs, so we can tailor our representation to best suit you.
