Wisewould Mahony | Lawyers
Wisewould Mahony is the result of the amalgamation of Wisewoulds and Mahonys which took effect on 1 July 2009.
Wisewould Mahony is a Melbourne law firm which has chosen to do things differently. We run a modern, progressive and diverse law firm from historic Collins Street premises.
We’re old but new. Wisewoulds has been practising law in Melbourne since 1853, and Mahonys since 1885. Although we’re proud of this heritage we are dedicated to modern work practices, flexible costing and the use of the most up to date technology in the practice of law.
We don’t pretend to be what we’re not. We’re a leading medium sized Melbourne law firm. This is what we want to be. This means we’re big enough to offer a broad spectrum of legal services whilst small enough to provide personal and affordable service. We have 14 partners, 45 lawyers and approximately 150 staff in total.
Our aim is to know our clients, know our market, know our staff and use this knowledge to break down the age old barrier between lawyer and client. We like to be in tune.
We believe in straight talking, with our clients and with each other. We work hard to provide practical and affordable legal solutions of the highest quality. Your success is our success.
We only offer services where we know they are of the highest quality
We have carefully considered the requirements of our clients and focus heavily on ensuring that we have a high level of expertise in our specific practice areas which include:
- Corporate & Commercial
- Commercial Litigation
- Insolvency Law & Litigation
- Insurance Law & Litigation
- Property Law and Mortgage Services
- Credit Unions, Banking and Finance
- Gaming, Licensing and Hospitality
- WorkCover
- Employment & Workplace Relations
- Family Law
Knowing our clients is our key focus
We have chosen to focus on what we believe is important - knowing our clients and understanding their needs.
We believe that close client relationships enable us to:
- Provide our clients with the appropriate level and quality of legal service.
- Add value to our clients.
- Assist our clients to be successful.
- Enjoy the work we do with our clients.
We know our market
We want to work with clients who choose to use our services specifically because we offer what the larger firms simply cannot: direct partner contact, highly competitive fees, flexible costing practices and value in every client transaction.
We greatly appreciate that relationships must be won over time and through mutual respect. This makes long standing relationships all the more worthwhile and enjoyable.
Enjoying working with our clients is the trademark of our culture
The practice of law isn’t easy. But one of the great benefits of being a lawyer is the sense of pride we get in knowing that we are our clients’ trusted adviser.
Our sense of achievement is truly realised by using our knowledge and passion to assist our valued and loyal clients to successfully reach their business goals, targets and outcomes.
We work with our clients
The foundations of any good law firm are firmly in place at Wisewould Mahony: knowledge of the law, pride in what we do, high quality practical advice, exceptional service delivery, talented staff, modern-day systems and transparency in fees.
The difference is that we won't pretend to know your business better than you do. We find legal solutions to your personal and business issues in a manner which is inclusive, incisive, innovative, efficient and in a manner which you understand and believe in.
Happy lawyers make better lawyers
We have a team of hardworking, enthusiastic, personable and intelligent lawyers, law clerks and legal assistants. Their happiness is crucial to ensuring that Wisewould Mahony successfully achieves it’s own goals and meets the standards expected by our clients.
We look for balance in our professional and personal lives. We enjoy each other's company and what we do. We work for each other. We’re flexible. We are open and honest with one another.
Shared Success
Success for both our firm and our clients will be measured by achieving what we set out to do - being who we want to be and assisting our clients to achieve what they want to achieve.
