About Us
Ad Valorem Law was created for two reasons: to simplify & solve.
The law is the foundation and lifeblood of civilisation. It attempts to reflect the acceptable and unacceptable views of humanity while being careful not to limit mankind’s ability to venture forward.
There are over 850 acts of Parliament in NSW alone, not including regulations or environmental planning instruments. Despite this, the Courts will uphold that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Ad Valorem Law believes you cannot afford to not obtain legal advice.
