About Dilan Lawyers

Lan Di

Preferred name: Dilan

Lan Di, known professionally as Dilan, is the founder and principal solicitor of Dilan Lawyers. Admitted as a solicitor by the Supreme Court of New South Wales and to the High Court of Australia, Dilan is entitled to practise in all Australian states and territories. Dilan holds a Juris Doctor in Law from the University of Technology Sydney, where she is also currently completing a Graduate Diploma in Urban Planning and Design. Dilan completed a Bachelor of Business Management majoring in Professional Accounting at Griffith University, Queensland. Dilan is also a licensed real estate agent and auctioneer in NSW.

Before establishing Dilan Lawyers, Dilan spent over a decade in the NSW real estate industry, building a career as a licensed real estate agent and principal. This background gives Dilan a practical, commercially grounded understanding of property law that is rare among litigation solicitors.

Dilan's real estate market knowledge is a genuine competitive advantage in compulsory acquisition matters. As a licensed real estate agent and auctioneer with over a decade of hands-on experience in the NSW property market, Dilan understands how land is priced, how comparable sales are selected and applied, and how the market actually operates at a street level — knowledge that most lawyers simply do not have. This deep market understanding allows Dilan to analyse government valuations in detail, identify where the acquiring authority has undervalued your land, and build a compelling, evidence-based case to achieve a higher compensation. The result is a lawyer who can challenge the government's numbers not just on legal grounds, but with genuine market expertise behind every argument.

Dilan Lawyers was established with a clear mission: to provide specialist, commercially-minded legal advice to landowners, developers, and businesses who need a lawyer that understands their industry, not just their legal problem.

Client-First

Every decision we make is guided by what is best for our clients. We give frank, honest advice, not advice designed to maximise our fees.

Specialist Expertise

We focus on a defined set of practice areas where we have genuine depth. We do not try to be all things to all clients.

Commercial Realism

Legal disputes have financial consequences. We always consider the commercial context and help clients make decisions that make sense financially.

Transparency

We explain costs, risks, and likely outcomes clearly from the outset. No surprises, no hidden fees.
