Hall & Wilcox 400 Hunter Street, Newcastle, New South Wales 2300

Welcome to Hall & Wilcox, a leading independent law firm located in Newcastle, Australia. Situated on Hunter Street, our institution is a point of interest for both corporate and private clients, as well as the public sector. With a team of over 1000 professionals, including more than 120 partners, we are dedicated to providing exceptional legal services to clients based in Australia and those conducting business offshore within the country.

At Hall & Wilcox, we pride ourselves on being anything but ordinary. If you're looking for the same old, same old, then we may not be the firm for you. Our commitment to innovation and staying ahead of the curve is evident in our approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters. Partners Harry New and Jacob Uljans recently discussed ASIC's focus on ESG and greenwashing, highlighting our dedication to these principles. In fact, we have released our first ESG Report, outlining the steps we have taken in areas such as the environment, human rights, labor, governance, and anti-corruption. This report is a testament to our commitment to the UN Global Compact principles.

We are thrilled to announce that Graydon Dowd has been elected as the firm's Chief Executive Partner, effective from July 1, 2024. Dowd's leadership will further strengthen our ability to provide exceptional legal services and drive our firm forward.

At Hall & Wilcox, we understand the importance of keeping up with regulatory requirements. The Australian Communications and Media Authority's enforcement of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) serves as a timely reminder for businesses to ensure compliance when sending marketing messages. We are here to assist our clients in navigating these regulations and providing guidance on best practices.

What sets us apart is our commitment to Smarter Law. We don't just advise, protect, defend, and enable our clients' organizations, but we do so in ways that actually work better for them. We build real connections with our clients, fully understanding their legal and business challenges. Then, we collaborate with them to find creative solutions that take them from 'argh!' to 'brilliant!'

Our reach extends beyond Australia, as we act nationally for Australian-based clients as well as multinational clients with Australian interests. We believe in working with our clients on their terms, meeting their needs at their place of business, wherever that may be.

To streamline the process of instructing us for day-to-day activities, we offer a collection of commonly used forms and instructions. This ensures efficiency and effectiveness in our work together.

Joining our team means engaging in challenging and interesting work with industry-leading clients. We pride ourselves on our great culture and offer flexible working arrangements to support a healthy work-life balance.

Choose Hall & Wilcox for exceptional legal services, a commitment to ESG principles, and a dedication to helping our clients succeed. Welcome to a smarter way of practicing law.
