Our Culture.
Our Story.
We built Hamilton Locke because we recognised that the business of law needed to evolve.
Law firms are notoriously resistant to change. If we wanted to build a culture that drove the right behaviours, we needed to start with a blank sheet of paper and with a clear purpose. So we did.
Built from the ground up, we had a unique opportunity to state a clear purpose; to create better alignment between the lived experience of our people and the experience of our clients; to create an opportunity to bring capital to bear on the business; and to create an opportunity for everyone to share in the value that we build together over time.
We have expanded across Australia and New Zealand, and are recognised as one of Australia’s fastest growing law firms. We are culture-led, with a clear strategy and structure to match.
We are building adjacent business lines that offer clients a broader array of products and services that support their businesses and create experiences that allow our people to grow and develop personally and professionally.
Our Guiding Principles.
Our core principles guide how we operate as a business, ensuring we stay focused on giving our clients the best possible experience.
01
Culture-led
We have smart, dedicated people that thirst for learning and growth opportunities – we are happiest when we are doing difficult things well. We strive to give our people the best possible personal development experience by empowering them to be their best and fostering a collaborative and supportive culture.
02
Client-focused
We are action-oriented and we roll up our sleeves to get things done. Because we are culture-led, we can give all of our attention to achieving the best outcomes for our clients.
03
Collaborative
Our integrated offering drives seamless service delivery for our clients across different teams. Collaboration is ingrained in our culture and means we can deliver creative solutions no one team could alone.
04
Courageous
We will stand with our clients, make commercial judgements and we are accountable for the outcomes. Our people make it their job to understand the risks and opportunities in our clients’ businesses and industries.
05
Connected
We are not just a law firm. We add value by bringing the whole group to find a solution and connecting the dots for our clients by providing access to capital, talent and opportunities through our extensive networks.
