Vocare Law (formerly known as Corney & Lind Lawyers) are approachable, professional, and knowledgeable about the law as it relates to the Christian and nonprofit sector, and I regularly recommend them to Christian Management Australia members as a firm who they can trust.

In a recent practical example my local church needed expert legal advice on a difficult matter unique to the church sector.

I recommended that our pastor approach Vocare Law, and we quickly received a clear, straight forward response that equipped us to address the issue appropriately.

I have been fortunate to have had the support of Vocare Law (formerly known as Corney & Lind Lawyers) for over 10 years in my role as Principal/ CEO at A.B.
