What Our Clients Say

Brendan was excellent when he recently helped me out with a corporate law matter. He was very professional but also took the time to explain the matter in a way the average person could understand. Would not hesitate to recommend Nyst Legal.

All business that Nyst Legal have conducted on my behalf has been excellent. In addition this company is empathetic and really listen to clients. Highly recommended

I have had the pleasure of being associated with Chris Nyst and Nyst Lawyers for over 25 years. I have found Chris and his Team to be extremely professional. They deliver excellent results and are diligent and comprehensive in their approach to solving all matters. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending them for any task.

Recommended for legal assistance on the GC. Just wrapped up a property purchase. Professional and timely assistance. All taken care of. Particular thanks to Nicola and her team. Impressive.

I know Jonny and the team at Nyst Legal very well. They have assisted me on a number of legal issues over the years and on each occasion they have achieved the best possible outcome. They seem very passionate about what they do and their hard work and dedication to their clients is reflected in the great results they achieve. I fully recommend Nyst Legal to any person needing legal assistance.

Nicola assisted us with the purchase of our first home. We would highly recommend using Nicola for your residential property matters as she has great attention to detail, is very professional, helpful and actions everything quickly. Thank you Nicola!
