Sydney-based law firm Hamilton Locke has entered the Western Australian market with a bang after recruiting four corporate finance partners from HWL Ebsworth Lawyers.
There has been a significant re-ranking of law firms in Perth over the past year, while the sector is also adapting to the impact of COVID-19 restrictions.
HWL Ebsworth Lawyers is set to become the sixth largest law firm in Western Australia after striking a deal to acquire boutique Perth firm Bellanhouse Lawyers.
SPECIAL REPORT: The shake-out in Perth's legal services market is producing some surprising winners and losers, with one of the best performers being a firm many had expected to wither.
