Firm assessment
Maurice Blackburn Lawyers
Large national firm with deep litigation resources and a strong reported-decision record. Scale means files are commonly run by junior solicitors rather than the senior practitioners whose names attract the work, so experience on the file itself is often thinner than the firm's national presence suggests.
