Firm Profile > Hall & Wilcox > Melbourne, Australia

‘I have found the team at Hall and Wilcox to be highly strategic and responsive, with a great grasp of the art of delivering advice and work that is on point and exactly what is needed.’

‘The insurance litigation team at Hall and Wilcox was absolutely spectacular in the way that they dealt with us. Not only was the level of expertise and professionalism incredibly impressive, but the way that they dealt with us as people and not just a corporate entity who are paying fees made us feel valued and at ease throughout the process. They achieved an incredible settlement for us. No effort was spared with the team often required to work late into the night to deliver in line with court-imposed case management deadlines – especially with the time zone difference. I actually find myself missing working with this incredible team who gave us the warmest hospitality while at the same time delivering excellent legal services.’
