Meet Sean Jolly
Principal Solicitor
Hi, I’m Sean, and I’ve been wrangling the law since 2005. Over the years, I’ve navigated everything from commercial litigation and family disputes to banking and building law. As a law firm principal for most of that time, I’ve earned my stripes (and a few grey hairs) across the legal landscape.
I’m hard-working, honest, and confident – plus, after all that, I’ve somehow stayed humble and kept my sense of humour. Fancy that.
- Principal Solicitor
- Experienced in homebuilding, family law, and general litigation

- Motorcycle enthusiast and born to ride bloke
- Occasional beer brewer and woodworker
“The law’s no walk in the park, but I’m here to guide you through it.”

My Experience
After university, I did the classic post-grad move: a bit of time wandering around Europe (no regrets there). Then, I got down to business at a mid-sized firm, but for most of my career, I’ve been running my own show.
I’m an experienced principal and notary public, and the things I’ve seen could fill a book (tentative title: Underbelly: Confidentially Yours).
Here’s my approach to business:
- Taking the time to make the complicated simple
- Using my proven chops in commercial litigation to stand up for clients’ rights
- Leveraging my years of experience to stay a step ahead of risk
- Combining tech with law to keep costs down for clients
- Being exactly the kind of bloke you want on your side
- Helping the next generation of lawyers find their way
How I can help you?
- Experienced Litigator: I’ve been around the litigation block more times than I can count. At Lauderdale, I focus on homebuilding disputes, NCAT cases, and civil litigation.
- Tech-Savvy: Not only do I know the law, but I can also code. I use my tech know-how to streamline workflows and keep things running like a well-oiled machine – because who doesn’t love saving time (and money)?
- Wide Knowledge Base: I bring a solid, well-rounded perspective to any case. If there’s a way to shore up your position, I’m on it.
Always Learning: Just when I think I’ve seen it all, something new pops up. I keep my skills sharp and stay up-to-date with every twist and turn in the legal landscape – so you don’t have to.
My approach
My experience speaks for itself – just take a look:
- Proven Track Record: I’ve handled cases across family law, civil litigation, construction law, contracts… you name it. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with banks, head contractors, and multinational corporations, and I’m still standing.
- Defending Your Interests: When the stakes are high, you need someone in your corner who’s not afraid to throw a punch (metaphorically speaking, of course). That’s me.
- Great Listener: Life’s fast, and everyone’s in a hurry. But I make the time to actually listen to my clients. Sit back, relax – I’m all ears.
