About Law Squared

Forget everything you know about law firms – we’ve found a better way.

Law Squared is a leading Human Centred Law firm, founded in 2016 to provide a true alternative to traditional law firms – for clients and lawyers alike.

We work exclusively on an upfront, fixed-fee model, prioritising our client’s success over billable hours and ensuring transparency and strategic control over their legal spend. By focusing on outcomes and value, rather than time and task-based inputs, Law Squared seamlessly bridges the gap between legal expertise and commercial impact.

Trusted by ASX listed entitles, multi-national clients, General Counsels, in-house teams, and business leaders across a broad range of industries, Law Squared focuses on those areas crucial to business success, including Corporate + Commercial, Employment + Workplace Relations, Disputes + Litigation, Property + Projects (Energy & Infrastructure) and Digital + Innovation, as well as those seeking dual jurisdictional support in Australia, the UK and/or NZ.

Law Squared has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland and London.
