Providing expert legal advice in the following areas

Property Law

Buying, selling, leasing, or just trying to understand why your neighbour thinks their fence is your problem?

Welcome to Property Law, where the stakes are high, and the paperwork is somehow even higher.

We'll cut through the legalese, guide you through the process ensuring you understand each step, and make sure you don’t sign anything that secretly gives away your firstborn.

Buying Established Property - we’ll review contracts, conduct due diligence and coordinate settlement so you get the keys when expected—no unwelcome surprises tucked behind the garden gate.
Off-the-Plan Purchases - we’ll scrutinise developer agreements, safeguard your deposit and advise on sunset clauses to help ensure the home you ordered on paper actually materialises in brick and mortar.
Selling Property - from drafting sale contracts and additional conditions, we’ll handle disclosures and negotiations so you can sell with confidence—and without any hidden liabilities popping up later.
Leasing - we’ll negotiate lease terms, break clauses, rent reviews and fit-out responsibilities to ensure your tenancy works for you.

Whether you're sealing the deal on your dream home, negotiating a lease that actually favours you, or resolving a dispute without resorting to passive-aggressive hedge trimming—we've got you covered.

Commercial Law

Running a business is tough enough without contracts that sound like they were drafted by a jargon-spewing robot on a caffeine bender. That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re dividing up equity with co-founders, luring superstar executives aboard or plotting world domination via joint ventures, we’ve got your back—and your fine print:

Shareholders’ Agreements - to keep your ownership squabbles civilized, define decision-making powers and outline your exit plan if Bob decides he’s had enough of those late-night strategy calls.
Executive Agreements - that reward top talent without turning them into corporate pirates—complete with performance targets, confidentiality clauses and just enough golden handcuffs to make them stick around.
Joint Venture & Partnership Agreements - so everyone knows who’s contributing cash, who’s bringing the coffee-making skills and how the profits (and blame) get shared.
General Operating Agreements and other legal contraptions—because “let’s just wing it” isn’t exactly a bulletproof strategy.
Commercial Contracts - covering licencing, distribution, supply and NDAs—drafted in plain English with just a dash of lawyerly flair.

Let us sweat the small stuff—drafting, reviewing and negotiating—so you can focus on scaling up, closing deals and finally settling the ping-pong-table debate once and for all.

Ready to get your ducks in a legally watertight row? Let’s talk.

Estate Planning

Let’s face it—no one wants to think about estate planning. But leaving your loved ones with a legal mess is way worse than spending an afternoon sorting it out now.

We aim to make estate planning painless (and maybe even a little enjoyable—yes, really).

Wills - We’ll draft clear, comprehensive wills that reflect your wishes—so your heirloom stamp collection doesn’t accidentally wind up in the office fish tank.
Powers of Attorney -
we’ll prepare enduring powers of attorney to appoint trusted decision-makers for your financial matters—because sometimes your cousin’s poker nights aren’t the best times to decide how 'business is done'.
Guardianship Documents -
we’ll draft guardianship and advance care directives to ensure your children’s or your own personal welfare needs are covered—so there’s no guesswork about who steps in if you can’t be there yourself.

Whether you're drafting a will, setting up a trust, or making sure your secret snack stash goes to the right person, we help you protect what matters most.

About

Megan Sterling - Principal Solicitor

Currently admitted to practice law in New South Wales, and with over 10 years of experience in property law, commercial law, and estate planning, I’ve seen it all—from the smoothest transactions to the ones that keep you up at night. No matter the challenge, my goal is simple: to make your legal journey as seamless and stress-free as possible.

I believe that understanding the process is just as important as the outcome. That’s why I take the time to break down the legalese and explain things in plain English - so you know exactly what’s happening at every step.

At the heart of my work is a genuine commitment to my clients. Your trust is my priority, and I’ll go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported, empowered, and in control. After all, the law is complicated enough—you deserve a lawyer who makes it easier, not harder!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY....

Cecilia L.

"Had the pleasure of working with Megan Sterling on purchasing my first property and her professionalism, communication and attention to detail truly made it a smooth, effortless transition!

Not only is Megan’s turnaround time for reviewing contracts lightning fast (<1 day, sometimes even a few hours), but she also really took the time to explain the legal jargon and make sure I fully understood what was going on in the process. Her passion and care for her clients really shines through, and I would definitely recommend her services to all"

David N.

"I have had the absolute pleasure of being a client with Megan Sterling at GTC Lawyers on several occasions, and I have consistently been impressed by her professionalism, expertise, and genuine dedication to her clients.

Megan's ability to provide efficient and effective legal solutions is seriously remarkable. As an example, she recently assisted me with the finalization of my personal will, completing the entire process within a single day. Her insightful guidance on navigating complex family matters proved invaluable, offering valuable perspectives that I would not have considered otherwise.

My two previous engagements with Megan regarding property matters have been consistently excellent - solidifying my trust in her legal acumen.
(As a brag, she managed to pick out the only structurally solid apartment complex in the saturated suburb by reviewing the property reports at-a-glance. This has saved me quite literally thousands of dollars in strata payments over the years. I've seen the rising bill for the other apartments in the same area and it was genuinely shocking).

What truly distinguishes Megan is her commitment to client well-being. She goes above and beyond her professional obligations, providing valuable consultations and support even beyond the specific legal matters at hand. This demonstrates a genuine care that I rarely see in this field.

I cannot recommend Megan Sterling enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and responsive solicitor that truly 'get's it'."

Ainslie A.
