Australia’s fastest-growing legal partnership, Hamilton Locke, is hoping to buck the poor track record of law firms on the ASX, as its parent company Halo Group looks to leverage its rapid rise into a sharemarket listing next year.
The upstart firm increased its partnership by 50 per cent in the latest Australian Financial Review Law Partnership Survey and is behind some big deals this year, including the $10 billion Milton-Washington H. Soul Pattinson merger.
