Deacons look beyond the legal issues, to the financial, commercial and market factors that drive our clients?success. This mindset ensures that the advice Deacons offer is in line with daily business realities, so clients can overcome obstacles quickly, get to market ahead of their competitors, and conclude transactions more profitably.
An established, evolving law firm
Though rapid, but considered growth, Deacons has 600 lawyers in Australia. When combined with the lawyers in the Deacons firms in Asia this increases to over 900 - a major international legal force. Deacons have always had a longer term and more significant penetration within the region than any other law firm. In addition to the Australian partnership offices in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, Deacons firms are located in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
Our culture is one of delivering exceptional value to our clients, not only in terms of the highest quality legal services, but also in the manner by which Deacons deliver them. Deacons utilise a fully integrated national infrastructure, with no duplication of roles, systems or services. While service is never compromised, our model promotes value, not unnecessary expense.
Actions, not buzzwords
Many firms talk about building relationships. Few deliver. Yet Deacons?entire service culture is centred on this concept. Deacons make it our business to be in step with our clients?ambitions ?not merely at a superficial level, but in a way that enables us to function as genuine ?ong haul?business advisors.
Deacons look out for our clients?best interests. Deacons provide services that are of real commercial value and advice that can be relied on. Deacons ensure the people and teams Deacons appoint are easy to communicate with, accessible for the routine, and on hand when a rapid response is needed to a problem or opportunity. And as a true partner should, Deacons take the initiative ?bringing new options and perspectives to the table that enable clients to achieve their ambitions faster, and with minimum complexity.
Clearly our approach to client service is striking the right chord. Over the past six years our business has trebled.
