Why Choose Us

We are experienced: All of our lawyers have worked at large law firms and have served as in-house legal advisers to some of the largest companies and banks in Australia, including Macquarie Bank and NAB. Our depth and breadth of experience allow us to expertly guide our clients through any legal or transactional matter.

We deliver value: While our qualifications, experience, and technology are comparable to that of our large firm counterparts, our fees are not. We know that time is money and we take our commitment to efficiency very seriously. We deliver value by keeping our overheads low and by leveraging the best technology, including the latest document management software. We pass those savings onto our clients.

We are client-focussed and solutions-oriented: We know that lawyers do not practice law in a vacuum and that our clients need a practical, solutions-oriented approach. In addition to providing our clients with strategic and practical advice, we also develop creative solutions to best accomplish our clients’ objectives.

We are agile and responsive: We understand that business and transactions move quickly and so do we. Our size allows us to be agile, nimble and flexible. Our lawyers are service-oriented and focus on providing each of our clients with the personalised attention they deserve. We work hard to ensure that we exceed our clients’ deadlines and expectations in all respects.

Fixed and transparent pricing: We always provide up-front and transparent pricing to ensure our clients have clear visibility of the costs associated with our services. Where possible, we charge fixed prices for our services – which means that as a client, you know exactly what you will pay for our legal services (regardless of the amount of time and work it takes to complete your matter).
