In May at the ALB Law Awards held in Sydney, Mills Oakley was announced as the Melbourne Law firm of the Year. This is the second time we have won the award, the first being in 2008.

The Awards’ judges recognised our growth, service and cost structures and billing strategies.  The event organisers also advised that Mills Oakley is considered a forward thinking law firm and added that in a year where many of our competitors suffered GFC-related setbacks, we were nimble enough to grab the opportunities this economic situation offered and managed to create some fantastic alliances with impressive new clients.
