Houston Dearn O’Connor has provided legal services to the people of Sydney since 1966.

Our speciality area of practice is Local Government and Planning Law, with the firm having panel arrangements with 12 Councils across Sydney and acting in this field for private developers and others who find themselves in dispute with a Council*. We have acted in the field of Local Government and Planning since 1980 and it can be said that we have developed a reputation for professionalism, honesty, integrity and value for money representation. It is for this reason in particular that many Local Councils choose to use our services.

In addition to Local Government and Planning Law, we act in the following fields: commercial law and litigation, criminal law, conveyancing and property law, wills and probate and family law.

Houston Dearn O’Connor is headed up by two Principals, Tim O’Connor and Steven Shneider. Each has a wealth of experience in acting for a wide range of clients.

Our Principals are skilled advocates who, in many instances, will provide Court representation without the need to brief Counsel. In-House advocacy can be provided across a range of areas with particular emphasis on hearings in the Land and Environment Court and hearings in the Local Court.

Our solicitors work hand in hand with our Principals so that the firm is one great team with a proven track record of producing desired results for our clients.

We provide personalised service with a one on one relationship with your solicitor and direct access to the Principals of the firm.
