About Fort Lawyers

Tailored legal solutions.
Careful work. Straight answers.

A principal-led NSW law firm acting for people across the state.

Fort Lawyers is a principal-led Sydney law firm. Led by our Principal Solicitor, Amita Kant, we give clear, practical advice across a range of practice areas.

We act in workers compensation, car accident (CTP) and TPD claims, and in immigration, family law, criminal and traffic, employment, property and estates matters. We set a clear course of action for each client and, because we are with you from the moment a problem develops until it is resolved, we give you a full picture of the process and the cost at your first appointment.

The firm is led from our Sydney head office on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills, with a second office in Blacktown serving Western Sydney, and we act for clients right across New South Wales.

Amita Kant — Principal Solicitor

Amita holds a Master’s degree in Law and has many years of experience, including years at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

  • Solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales
  • Member of The Law Society of New South Wales
  • Master’s degree in Law
  • Notary public services available

Amita’s style is calm and direct.

Our approach

  • Principal-led. Your matter is run under Amita’s supervision from start to finish.
  • Straight answers. If we do not think you have a claim, we tell you.
  • Costs in writing. You know the plan and the costs before anything costs you money.
  • Accessible justice. No Win, No Fee* on eligible car accident (CTP) damages claims. Legal costs in a workers compensation dispute can be funded by the Independent Review Office (IRO): we apply for the funding for you, and the IRO decides each application against its funding criteria.
Our values

Everything we do rests on three things

Knowledge

We work in a straightforward, approachable way and look for every avenue open to you.

Diversity

Inclusiveness matters at Fort Lawyers. We take the time to explain your options in plain English.

Respect

As a legal practice we have a voice, and we use it wisely — steering each case in the right direction while remaining respectful to all.
