Our Story
Our firm is built on a shared vision to be the premier specialist corporate law firm in Australia.
We have extensive experience in leading top tier and specialist law firms. We understand the importance of providing outstanding legal advice and service to our clients. We value the freedom, identity and versatility which comes with working in a boutique specialist law firm of our size.
Our firm is entrepreneurial, innovative and genuinely values and understands our clients and the outcomes they are seeking to achieve.
As a specialist firm, we focus on our core areas of expertise – Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Equity Capital Markets (ECM) transactions, corporate advisory, dispute resolution and property transactions. We drive solutions and outcomes, and provide insight and efficiencies, because we have specialised in these areas of law for many years.
We are also focused on being a contemporary law firm. We have a flexible and modern working environment, with intelligent, driven and talented people drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and interests.
