Woy Woy lawyer opens in Kariong

A Woy Woy resident has opened a legal practice in Kariong.

Brisbane Water Legal, operated by Ms Sharon Carpenter, aims to provide affordable legal services for local residents.

The Carpenter family moved to Woy Woy in 1973, and Ms Carpenter was a student in the first graduating class of Umina High School in 1980.

Ms Carpenter left the Peninsula to study law, and returned in 2001, commuting to Sydney.

"At the end of last year, I completed a small business management course certificate IV and then in January opened my own practice, Brisbane Water Legal," Ms Carpenter said.

"I provide legal advice and services in a variety of property and business matters, including selling and buying real estate and businesses, refinancing, leasing of commercial premises, wills, powers of attorney and enduring guardianships."

As part of the opening celebration, Brisbane Water Legal is offering discounts on their services.
