Strategic Legal Solutions Delivering Timely, Cost-Effective Results

Southern Connections Law is a bilingual boutique commercial law firm based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, serving clients across Australia. We help business owners and entrepreneurs move their projects forward with strategic, practical, and plain‑English legal advice. We specialise in corporate, intellectual property, and banking law.

Our Principal Lawyer, Valentina García Cantolla, is dual‑qualified to practise law in both Australia and Chile, and a dual-national of both countries. As such, a key focus of the firm is supporting Spanish‑speaking clients in Australia and assisting Australian businesses exploring opportunities in Latin America. We offer our services in English or Spanish, ensuring clear communication across borders.

We like working on a fixed‑fee basis, to give our clients certainty and confidence in both outcomes and costs.
