ABOUT LSLC

LSLC was founded by solicitor Lynda Slavinskis in 2004.  From humble beginnings in the spare room of her home with no clients, Lynda has grown her firm into a thriving business with a database of over 500 happy and very loyal clients.  LSLC outgrew the spare room in a matter of months and we have been at our Ashburton offices ever since.

Lynda has been supported by Hilda Felices since 2008 and in 2011 welcomed Anneliese Brown to the fold as a trainee solicitor.

Who is Lynda Slavinskis?

Lynda is an outgoing, creative and intuitive lawyer with commerical savvy. An old Macrob girl, Lynda graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and Bachelor of Laws from Monash University in 1997.  After completing her articles in a criminal and family law firm, Lynda realised that her idealistic visions of being an advocate who could change the world were unrealistic and she ran away from private practice to the corporate world.

Lynda honed her legal skills and business brain as an in-house solicitor with Sussan Corporation and Tattersall’s. That big business experience has been crucial to LSLC's success and Lynda's holistic approach to business advice.  She is equally comfortable providing an opinion on branding or how to negotiate the best commercial deal as she is tearing apart and advising on a contract.  Lynda also gained invaluable commercial experience in challenging non legal roles in publishing and public relations and utilises that experience in  creative ways to help SME's grow to their full potential.        

Lynda believes SMEs should have priority access to a lawyer who understands them and their business and who can help them grow. Her vision in establishing LSLC is to empower small business owners by educating them about their rights and obligations and by helping them establish processes which minimise legal risk.

Lynda has particular niche expertise in SME export/import, franchising and marketing.  She is approachable, down to earth and has a knack for making anyone feel comfortable.

Lynda is committed to community education and is a popular and inspiring speaker at Austrade Export Seminars, Business Networks, Government events and conferences.

Lynda was for 5 years the only lawyer on the Victorian Government’s Small Business Advisory Council which advised the small business minister .  

Lynda was also a  Victorian Finalist in the Telstra Business Woman’s Awards 2006 and was pipped at the post by the ultimate national winner.  The judging panel recognised Lynda's passion for business, her ability to add spark to an industry that has traditionally been very dry, her management skills and her ability to balance work and life.

Lynda is married to Peter and her most amazing achievement is  being mum to Elijah, 3. Lynda is a singer, loves to swim and attending Step Into Life outdoor group training sessions.  Lynda is also a tragic Richmond supporter, speaks fluent French and her favourite places in the world are Paris and Broome. Her ambitions are to run 5kms in less than 30 minutes and to be on "the facebook" by the end of 2011!
