3. Government – spanning local, state, and federal government.
Our clients include Australian and international insurers and reinsurers, corporates of all sizes, and federal, state, and local government.
Nationally, over 750 talented people deliver top-quality legal advice and representation, coupled with exceptional client service and support, across our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Newcastle, Perth, and Cairns.
Our partners are committed to fostering flexible, inclusive, and diverse environments for our employees. We have the fourth highest percentage of female partners according to the AFR Law Partnership Survey, July 2024.
