Fox & Staniland has its origins in the old city firm of Sillar & Maddison which
was established many years ago. The founders were Ralph Sillar who lived in Pymble,
and John Maddison who subsequently became the State Minister for Justice and Attorney
General, and who lived at Wahroonga. David Fox and Richard Staniland became partners
in Sillar & Maddison.
Shortly thereafter they opened a branch office of that firm at Gordon. In 1972,
following the retirement of Ralph Sillar and John Maddison, the partnership was
dissolved and David Fox and Richard Staniland continued the practice at Gordon under
the new name of Fox & Staniland. The firm has grown since then and there are now
ten lawyers and a support staff of eight making us one of the largest legal firms
in the Ku-ring-gai area.
Notwithstanding this growth we have maintained our emphasis on giving personal service
to all our clients. In 2001 the firm moved from its original premises in the Gordon
shopping centre to an office building located in Pymble’s Bridge Street business
precinct.
As practitioners we value efficiency, experience, and attention to detail. We aim
to provide our clients with the best possible legal services.
