Our Culture & Community

Local Pride, Professional Excellence

As Penrith locals, we understand this community in ways that CBD firms never will. We’re not just working in Penrith – we’re actively contributing to what makes this community special. From sponsoring the Emu Plains Junior Rugby League Club to sharing knowledge through our weekly column in the Western Weekender, we’re invested in Penrith’s success on and off the field.

We’re driven by four core values that shape everything we do: Enthusiasm (bringing positive energy to every matter), Honesty (straight-talking clarity in everything we do), Resilience (staying calm when challenges arise), and Open-mindedness (considering all perspectives before acting).

Real People, Real Personalities

We believe exceptional lawyers should also be exceptional humans. Our team doesn’t just work in Penrith – we live here, shop here, and yes, we get just as nervous as everyone else when the Panthers are playing finals. We’re the lawyers who understand that Mulgoa Road traffic affects everyone’s day and who genuinely celebrate when local businesses succeed.

Whether it’s supporting grassroots sports, mentoring future legal talent through our law clerk programme, or helping thousands of locals understand their rights through our community education efforts, we’re here because we genuinely care about this community’s future.
