Griffin Legal was founded in 2009 as a modern alternative to “big firms”.
From the outset our focus has been on providing quality, practical and timely solutions for clients, with Griffin Legal also leading the way in adopting new technology and administration practices, while importantly making work-life balance for our staff a reality.
Our initiatives, and consequential impact in the legal sector, have positively changed the way legal services are provided to government, not-for-profits and business.
Our mission is to be a leading innovative legal and advisory firm providing quality services to government, business, and not-for-profits.
Almost 15 years later, we have grown significantly but remain committed to the principles of quality work, exceptional client service and innovation. These principles have created confidence in the Griffin Legal brand, while at the same time guaranteeing we attract and retain top talent.
We live and breathe our firm values of Integrity, Excellence, Connection, Growth and Wellbeing in everything that we do.
Griffin Legal is a 100% female owned business, with our head office in Canberra, and operating nationally.
Griffin Legal has a well-established track record of giving back to the local community, through pro-bono work and engaging local staff and suppliers.
Over the years we have won many awards, and in 2022 we were the proud recipient of the ACT Law Society, ACT Firm of the Year Award for outstanding local pro-bono contributions, and commitment to diversity and staff wellbeing.
