Lawyers

In this time of specialisation the problem often occurs that we don't see the wood for the trees. This is because while there are many specialists there are only a few generalists - lawyers with in-depth knowledge and experience right across the board in law. Eddy Neumann is one of this rare breed.

About Eddy

Eddy's expertise is problem solving and achieving results for clients. He is equally at home at the negotiating table, drafting complex contractual documentation and in the court room - having a deserved reputation for his communication and drafting skills and for being a fearless advocate when the need arises.

Eddy the son of Holocaust survivors was a child migrant to Australia. He was educated in Sydney and holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Government and Public Administration and a Bachelor of Laws Degree from the University of Sydney.
