Stonebraker Lawyers

What Stonebraker Lawyers does

Stonebraker Lawyers is a privately-held Australian boutique law firm founded in July 2018 by principal Johnathan C.A. Stonebraker, operating from offices in Windsor, NSW (headquarters in the Old Hawkesbury Hospital building) and Sydney CBD (Level 13, St James Centre). The firm employs approximately eight people and serves individuals, families, and small to medium businesses across the Hawkesbury, Hills Shire, and Greater Sydney regions, with a defined sub-practice in rural and agribusiness matters.

The firm delivers five core practice areas: Commercial and Business Law, Agribusiness and Rural Law, Commercial and Civil Litigation, Property and Conveyancing, and Wills and Estate Planning. Its principal technology integration is membership in the PEXA electronic conveyancing network, which enables electronic lodgement of land transfers and caveats as mandated by the NSW Government. A stated differentiator is solicitor-led conveyancing (rather than delegation to conveyancers or paralegals).

The firm's revenue model combines three pricing structures: fixed-fee services for clear-scope matters (with residential conveyancing quoted at A$1,100 inclusive of GST plus disbursements), monthly retainer arrangements for SMBs seeking off-site in-house counsel, and hourly billing for litigation and matters with changing scope. Customer acquisition is primarily direct via local community presence, website content, and phone/email enquiries, with no third-party distribution or referral partnerships disclosed. The practice is differentiated by a Christian faith-based values proposition and the principal's family small-business background, alongside admitted practice across the Supreme Court of NSW, NSW Court of Appeal, and Federal Court of Australia.
