About us 

In 1919, Maurice Blackburn – a man whose sense of civil liberty was ahead of his time – set the course for social justice in Australia. In the time since, his law firm has contributed to some of Australia’s most influential legal decisions, from the 40-hour week and equal pay for women and Indigenous workers, to the fight against patenting of human genes and the largest class action settlement in Australian history.

With over 30 offices throughout Australia and over 1000 employees across the country, we employ some of Australia’s strongest, most respected and knowledgeable legal professionals. 

We’ve built a reputation on the unwavering belief that the law should serve everyone, not just those who can afford it. We provide accurate and confidential advice without unnecessary legal jargon and offer a flexible fee policy. We treat every client who walks through our door with the sincerity and respect they deserve.
