How does MCLP help?

MCLP provides comprehensive legal services to councils across New South Wales, ensuring efficient and effective debt recovery for non-payment of council rates.

Why Choose Us?

Our team has extensive experience handling the complexities of council rate debt recovery.

Our legal strategies are customised to meet your specific needs, ensuring a seamless recovery process, whilst maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our interactions.
