History

Established in 1917 by partners Alfred Hall and Francis Wilcox, Hall & Wilcox has been a part of the Australian legal landscape since World War 1.

While the ‘Great War’ raged and re-shaped Australian society, it instilled attributes such as pragmatism, mateship, a desire to serve and ‘courage under fire’. These attributes became entrenched in our culture, and we operate to this day by those values.

More than 100 years later, we have grown to become a leading national law firm of more than 145 partners. We’ve remained independent and grown through both organic growth and strategic lateral hires.

As a firm, we are proud of the growth we’ve experienced, without losing sight of our collegiate culture and focus on the needs of our clients and communities.
