From Humble Beginnings

We are fiercely independent, possess a unique culture and we are uncompromising in the protection of our values.

More than 40 years ago, HopgoodGanim was founded by two great friends with a focus on commercial litigation and family law. Today, HopgoodGanim is a large and fully integrated national law firm offering solutions to commercial problems across the full spectrum of legal services. We continue to house one of Australia’s largest and most well regarded family and relationship law practices.

You may have asked yourself what makes HopgoodGanim different to any other firm? We believe it is the close relationships we have with our clients and each other. We do our very best work when we know our clients personally and we know their businesses inside and out. Inside our firm, people genuinely like each other, refer to each other as friends and work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes possible for our clients. It’s our emphasis on deep and successful relationships that helps us maintain our reputation as a law firm with the greatest skills and expertise, which is also a truly great place to work.

Our Expertise

Our expertise is categorised around areas of technical speciality and sectors. In many areas of law, our practitioners practise in all Australian jurisdictions and work with international clients, meaning the work you do in any given day is equally complex and exciting.

Firm Culture

HopgoodGanim enjoys a reputation as a place where people love to come to work. We describe our culture as ‘The HG Way’ and central to this is a theme of ‘Business Mateship’. Business Mateship was a phrase we coined many years ago to capture the culture of friendship created by our founding partners and to describe how the people of HopgoodGanim, our clients and other stakeholders come together and interact. That is, we believe in treating each other, and our clients, as we would treat our friends. Some of the ways we do this include:

  • Providing our clients with great service and breaking down the traditional and often conservative barriers between lawyers and their clients
  • Approaching our work with passion, positivity and a tenacious attitude
  • Openly sharing our thoughts and ideas for ways to improve processes and procedures
  • Providing straightforward and honest answers to questions from colleagues and clients
  • Getting to know more about the personality of the people we work with by finding out what their passions are outside of work
  • Communicating with our clients and colleagues as much as possible about the progress of the work we’re doing for them

The HG Way also encompasses our firm vision and values.
