ANDREW Freer has been recognised once again by his legal peers as a “pre-eminent” lawyer in estate litigation, in the “Doyle’s Guide” for leading wills and estate litigation lawyers in Canberra. 

Andrew says that as one of the three principals at KJB Law and with 26 years of legal experience, he’s pleased to receive this recognition of his skills in estate administration. 

“I personally enjoy the opportunity to work closely with clients and help them through the complex legal steps that need to be taken when sadly someone has passed away,” he says. 

“We are a well-drilled team who pride ourselves on doing things in a timely fashion. Historically, estate administration can take a lot of time, but I find that if you have the confidence and experience in this field, it can be dealt with more effectively.” 

Andrew’s department is also staffed by solicitor Olivia Kordaris and estates manager Carrie-Anne Smith, who work as a team to manage all the aspects of estate administration such as the obtaining of probate, selling or transferring of assets, setting up of trusts or funds for charitable beneficiaries. 

One of Canberra’s longest-running law firms, KJB Law was established in 1978 by sole practitioner Ken Johnston, who was joined by Allan Bedford the following year, before the firm was named Ken Johnston Bedford & Co in January 1981, to provide quality legal services at affordable prices. 

Even though Ken and Allan have retired, the firm continues to provide quality legal advice on everything from estate planning, residential property sales and purchasing, family law to retirement village entry under the leadership of its three principals – Jo Twible, Andrew Freer and Des Moore. 

“Having had 26 years of working at KJB Law, I know how great our team is. Many of our people have been here for a long time and provide excellent continuity and expertise to our clients,” says Andrew.
