About the Practice

Serving Parramatta
Since 1977

A boutique legal practice built on trust, expertise, and lasting personal relationships — providing comprehensive legal services to individuals, families, and businesses across Western Sydney.

Our Philosophy

Honest Advice.
Lasting Relationships.

Established in 1977, James Papas Solicitors, now owned and directed by Shanthi Anandarajah, has built its reputation on a simple principle: we will always act in your best interests. That means giving you honest, practical advice — and it means telling you when we believe pursuing a matter is unlikely to benefit you, even if that advice means less work for us.

Many of our clients have been with us for decades. We act for their children and grandchildren today. That enduring loyalty reflects the trust, integrity, and personalised service that have been the foundation of this firm since day one.

Our team speaks English, Greek, and Tamil — enabling us to serve the culturally diverse Parramatta and Western Sydney community in their preferred language.

The Law Society of NSW has recognised James Papas Solicitors for 50 years of legal practice — a testament to our commitment to the profession and to our clients.
