About Us
Are you looking to join one of Australia's fastest-growing firms? Do you believe in a culture-driven meritocracy where your opportunities are only limited by your imagination and your potential is nurtured? If so, Hamilton Locke is the ideal place to start your legal career!
Hamilton Locke is transforming the traditional approach to corporate and commercial legal services. We prioritise agility and responsiveness, removing bureaucratic barriers to provide exceptional service and innovative solutions. Our leadership is collaborative, fostering a superior experience for both our team and clients. In short, we create an environment where everyone can thrive and do their best work, leading to happy clients—a true win-win-win.

We provide a collaborative environment and modern technology, enabling our team to focus on their work without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Put simply, we have created a work environment based on respect, trust, development, collaboration and innovation.
We put our people's experience at the centre of everything we do. We are more than just a law firm.
