About Us

We are a Melbourne CBD law firm that provides practical commercial legal services.

We work mainly in commercial law and intellectual property.

We provide prompt, personalised service delivery.

We are committed to providing outstanding service and responsiveness.

We do not operate on the conventional firm model of a hierarchy of lawyers, which often leaves clients without ready access to partners. 

Our lawyers are all experienced, senior practitioners.  Your work will always have the direct involvement of a partner.  A partner will always be available to speak with you.

We often work on a consultancy basis, as consultants to our client's businesses to assist with or manage major projects.

Our services and solutions are practical and cost effective, without unnecessary complication or over servicing.  We draft and advise in plain English.

Our competitive charges reflect our consultancy style structure and our commitment to innovation and efficiency.

Ordinarily we do not charge for "in-house" costs like photocopying, facsimile transmission, and secretarial support.

Our charges may be hourly, fixed, capped or a combination depending on the transaction.

We understand that, in many instances, applying an hourly rate may result in a charge that is out of proportion to the value of the transaction.  It is our aim to charge by reference to the value of the transaction to you, rather than seeking to reward ourselves for the "time spent".  We are available to work "in house" as required, at a negotiated reduced rate or flat fee. 

We offer our clients secure web site access for reporting and information sharing purposes.

We are committed to sustainability.  We use 100% accredited Green Power at our office.  All office waste is re-cycled, where practicable.  And we minimise the use of resources wherever we can, whether it be office printing or travel.

·         partner level access & advice on all matters

·         transparency
