A New Chapter for Braye Cragg Solicitors
Braye Cragg Solicitors is excited to announce our upcoming merger with Chamberlains Law Firm, a strategic partnership that represents a significant step forward for our clients and community. On 27 January 2026, our team will officially join Chamberlains’ Newcastle office, creating a combined team of 25 team members dedicated to delivering exceptional legal services across the Hunter region.
Our Legacy Meets Chamberlains’ Vision
Since 1898, Braye Cragg Solicitors has proudly served the Hunter region as one of its most trusted and respected firms. Under the leadership of Robert McKessar, an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury, our team has built a reputation for excellence and client care. This merger allows us to strengthen and expand our service offering, including Compensation, Family Law, Private Wealth, Conveyancing, Commercial Law, and Litigation.
Please note: Our criminal law practice will remain separate, ensuring continuity for clients who rely on these services.
Introducing Kate Maher Criminal & Traffic Law
The merger between Braye Cragg and Chamberlains has also given rise to a new firm, Kate Maher Criminal & Traffic Law. Kate, the other partner at Braye Cragg, along with her legal assistant Cheyenne Allen and law clerk Taylah Gray, will continue to focus on this busy area of practice under the new brand. This ensures that clients seeking criminal and traffic law expertise will continue to receive the same high level of service and support they have come to expect.
Why This Merger Matters
By joining forces with Chamberlains, we are combining Braye Cragg’s deep roots in the community with Chamberlains’ innovative approach to legal services. Together, we aim to deliver even greater value, expertise, and support to clients across Newcastle and the Hunter region.
Looking Ahead
This merger reflects our shared commitment to the region and our clients. As Newcastle continues to grow as a vibrant hub for business and lifestyle, Braye Cragg Solicitors is proud to be part of this exciting new chapter. We look forward to continuing to serve you with the same dedication and care, now backed by the resources and reach of Chamberlains Law Firm.
