Led by experienced lawyer Tom McCarthy, the practice brings together experience across private legal practice, in-house advisory roles and senior business leadership, offering pragmatic, commercially grounded advice focused on optimising outcomes for clients.

A Melbourne-based legal practice, practicing nationally. We are available for consultations online, and in person, including offices in Richmond, Melbourne’s CBD and Yarraville.

A steady, commercial hand

We work with a wide range of clients across areas including general commercial, finance, property and employment law, whether it’s financial or commercial forward-planning and risk management, entering or reviewing contracts, disputes or corporate insolvency.

Tom offers his wealth of experience across corporate and finance law, senior in-house advisory roles and business leadership in a way that makes high-quality legal services accessible for all.

That experience informs a pragmatic, commercially grounded approach to legal advice and representation, shaped by an understanding of how decisions are made and play out within the real world.
