Ponting Hynes Lawyers Pty Ltd, formerly known as Bernard Ponting & Co, was incorporated in 2023 after many years of close collaboration between Bernard Ponting and Natasha Hynes. Bernard has practised on the Gold Coast since 1981, dedicating more than four decades to delivering high‑quality legal services and fostering client relationships built on trust, integrity and consistency.

 

Under Bernard’s mentorship, Natasha developed a deep understanding of both the legal profession and the values that shaped the firm’s reputation. Together, they formed a highly effective team whose shared commitment to excellence laid the foundation for the next chapter of the practice. With a clear vision and an innovative approach, Natasha assumed leadership and guided the transition to Ponting Hynes Lawyers.

 

Today, under Natasha’s direction, the firm continues to uphold its long‑established standards while embracing a modern, client‑centred approach. We are committed to supporting our clients across their business and personal legal needs, offering tailored services that reflect their individual circumstances and goals. Natasha has been instrumental in driving the firm’s strategic growth and cultivating a people‑first culture, one that prioritises strong relationships, clear communication and exceptional client care.
