Our People


Our greatest resource is our people. The success of any organisation rests upon the experience and vision of its people. Our people share the firm's vision for the future, embracing the same goals and working towards them with a genuine dedication and passion.

Our people are Walsh Halligan Douglas


We challenge our people to be leaders, to be creative and to provide innovative solutions and down to earth advice for our clients.

The diversity of our people is one of our greatest strengths.

Our lawyers understand the commercial environments facing our clients.  Many of those lawyers have worked in regional and remote areas of Australia, and have, in the past, been more than lawyers. Included among our ranks are a former pharmacist, Air Force officer and navigator, an accountant, an industrial designer, a project manager, an archaeologist, building and an insurance claims manager. It is that diversity which enables them to deliver service way beyond our clients' expectations. Our lawyers are involved in key industry and professional associations, keeping themselves up to date with the rapid commercial and legislative developments impacting on our clients' businesses.
