Commitment to exceptional client service

Specialist Departments

We have specialist departments across all areas of law, headed up by either a partner or special counsel who practices exclusively in that area. This enables us to provide an all-round legal service to our clients while retaining the ability to provide specialist advice across each area of law. 

Each department is managed by a Department Manager. The Department Managers ensure that incoming enquiries are immediately directed to the right lawyer. The Department Manager will review the enquiry and confirm that it is a matter we are able to assist with, and will make an appointment for the client to see the appropriate lawyer, taking care of all necessary arrangements. Once you have retained us to act on your behalf, you will have direct access to your Lawyer and our Paralegals via phone and email.

Dedicated Staff

Attwood Marshall Lawyers employs over 60 staff members, which includes 37 professional staff (Lawyers and Paralegals). We also have a number of law graduates and law clerks who assist our senior lawyers. 

Our staff pride themselves on their unwavering dedication to their clients and commitment to delivering exceptional legal services. 

Our team of highly skilled lawyers, paralegals, and operational staff are passionate about staying at the vanguard of legal developments, to offer the most up-to-date advice and support. 

Our staff care and are trained to listen and connect with our clients.

Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015 Accreditation

Attwood Marshall Lawyers has always been at the forefront of office technology and we have implemented an electronic file and document management system through our practice management software providers, Leap. We maintain an accreditation to the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015 in the Provision of Legal Services. This allows us to display the internationally recognised red five-tick Standards Mark. This has only been possible through our ongoing commitment to improving our processes and procedures. What this means for our clients is that we have the systems in place to provide the best possible customer experience and quality services. At the heart of our business is our intent to help people; and these systems help us deliver on our intent. 

What does this mean to you as our client?

Here for you when you need us

We are committed to pursuing excellence in our internal management and service delivery. We continue to take steps to transform our practice and yield significant dividends in productivity and the highest quality of service to our clients, helping them in what are usually very stressful circumstances. Our team are available any time to assist you. You can call our 24/7 phone line, chat through our live chat app on this website, visit any one of our conveniently located offices or email any of our departments directly.

Cost savings

By utilising the best electronic systems, this passes on cost savings to our clients by reducing soft disbursements, including the cost associated with printing, photocopying, postage, facsimile fees and storage costs. The electronic systems also bring down professional charges due to the reduction in time in dealing with most attendances.

Open communication and service you can depend on

Communications are more often than not instantaneous from the time we receive them. This promotes the timely actioning of client matters and, most importantly, provides better quality service to our clients.
We ensure we communicate clearly and effectively with you throughout the entire process, so you know where you stand every step of the way.

Environmentally friendly

The need for paper is eliminated by using online systems, electronic storage of documents and files, electronic databases, the use of email, and replacing reference books with online resources. This significantly reduces our environmental impact. We encourage our clients wherever possible to opt for electronic forms of communication so they can participate in our efforts to help the environment and keep costs to a minimum.
