Littlejohn Legal

What Littlejohn Legal does

Littlejohn Legal is a private, multi-service Australian law firm headquartered in Dingley Village, Victoria, with a second office in the Melbourne CBD, founded in 2014 by principal solicitor David Littlejohn. The firm provides legal services across nine major practice areas: Wills & Estate Planning (including Probate, Deceased Estates, Letters of Administration, and specialized Inheritance & Estate Disputes), Property & Conveyancing, Family Law (divorce, separation, property settlements, intervention orders, consent orders, parenting plans, binding financial agreements, and complex property settlements), Commercial Law, Criminal Law, Immigration Law, and Litigation & Dispute Resolution, plus Aged Care/Elder Law. It serves individuals, families, business owners, property buyers and sellers, and multicultural communities in Greater Melbourne and Victoria, with named coverage across 28+ suburbs. The team comprises approximately 11 members including six fee-earning lawyers (with multilingual capability in Tamil, Bengali, Hindi, and Sinhala), supported by practice management and administrative staff.

The business model is conventional professional services revenue: fees generated through a mix of hourly billings and fixed-fee arrangements (with commercial law explicitly offered on an affordable fixed-fee basis), with transparent and flexible fee structures and quote-based pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-anchored, combining content marketing (blog), Google Business reviews (4.6/5 across 131 reviews), Facebook/Instagram organic social, radio/podcast appearances, and community association participation; distribution is via in-person consultations, phone consultations, video consultations, and an online booking portal (lawfirms.navio.com.au). The firm has grown via acquisition, integrating Rigoli Lawyers, Michael Benjamin & Associates, Dingley Conveyancing Services, and Boutique Conveyancing under the Littlejohn Legal brand.

There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed. Core operations run on traditional law firm workflows with no API, no AI/ML features, and no described data assets. Recent strategic moves include a February 2026 strategic integration with JustFund for client legal financing and a March 2026 launch of a dedicated Inheritance & Estate Dispute service offering. The firm is privately held and founder-operated, with no disclosed venture or private equity investment.
