About This Local Firm

Falling under the category of “boutique” due to its staff size (8 presently), this CBD based law firm certainly appear to “punch above their weight” when it comes to clients, projects and engagements. This is probably due to their level of expertise and laser focus on their clients.

The firm acknowledge that working in the Newcastle CBD has its challenges. The main one is parking, and they have remedied this by allocating a parking spot to align with this role.

Of major appeal is the management style of this firm. Whilst professional, the relaxed and friendly nature of the Partners is evident, and the current staff appear to enjoy this approach.
