In the past 17 years, our focus was on the Chinese Market only (local, interstate and international clients) and our mission was to be the top Chinese law firm in Australia. However, rather than staying in our comfort zone as one of the top Chinese law firms, we now strive to become the top Asian Law firm and have offices in other states. We will expand into the entire Asian markets (Korean, Japanese, Malaysia, Vietnamese, Philippines, Thai) by delivering the same outstanding level of customer service and using our skill and knowledge to get the best outcomes for all clients. We focus on the following area of law: Civil matters, our clients range from individuals and small businesses to large public companies, within a wide variety of backgrounds and industries including hospitality, retail, professionals, franchising, government officials and finance. Criminal matters – all kinds – from summary offences to indictable offences (driving offence, theft, drug, rape, money laundering, serious assault). Family divorce matters – all areas – divorce, BFA, consent orders, parenting plans, spousal maintenance, custody, property and IVO. OUR CULTURE Hungry to grow, embrace the change. When we make decisions, it is not about who is right or wrong, it is all about what the best is for the firm, the client and you. No hierarchy, flat structure. No politics. Support each other and watch each other's back. Open door policy with direct and honest communication. Take criticism seriously but not personally. Performance-based management and no glass ceiling.
