About Us

Wisewoulds has been practising law in Melbourne since 1853. We are proud of this heritage, but conduct our practice today with the aspiration to be at the cutting edge of the delivery of legal services.

Our business is built around these core values:

  • Integrity: We tell it like it is: about cost, outcomes and what we believe to be in your best interests
  • Representation: When we are engaged to represent you we do it with commitment, tenacity and passion
  • Client Partnership: The best outcomes are achieved by client participation. We seek your involvement and input
  • Mobility: We are located in nice Collins Street offices but don't believe that matters requiring legal representation often originate here. We like to come to you
  • Effective service delivery: We love technology, and all the possibilities for efficiency and speed that go with it

The Wisewoulds way is straightforward, sensible and real, imparted by people who want to deal on the same level with clients who are their friends and associates and mutually interested in the venture being undertaken.

We look for balance in our professional and personal lives, and we try to enjoy each other's company and what we do. We work for each other.

At the same time, we have intense pride in our legal knowledge and ability, and while the message may be imparted by someone who does not fit the conventional idea of how a lawyer looks and talks, we expect it to be correct, relevant and delivered with friendliness and compassion.

By far the most critical asset of our business is the people who work in it. We have a team of hardworking, enthusiastic, personable and intelligent lawyers and legal assistants.

They represent our greatest investment, are the source of our greatest pride, and are the best reason for utilising the services of our law firm.
