Much of the corporate advisory work that helped enrich the partners of big accounting and law firms during the extravagant 1980s has dried up, but some firms have captured the business associated with Alan Bond on the way down as well as on the way up.

Parker & Parker, one of Perth's biggest law firms, is Bond's main legal representative. The firm's relationship with him started long before Bond Corp's heyday, when Bond was a Western Australian property developer. The law firm also acts for Bond Corp. Joe Longo, a partner of Parker & Parker, says the firm has a "sizeable team" of solicitors working on the Bond Corp petrochemical action.
