South Australia is a great place to do business. It is Australia’s most cost-competitive city and the third most cost-competitive in the world in its population bracket, based on an international comparison of 102 global cities*.
Never has there been a time in the state’s history when it has been more important to have access to legal experts with the right mix of skills, experience, attitude and service.
As South Australia’s largest commercial law firm, and with an extensive global reach, Minter Ellison understands the nature of business right here in our own backyard, as well as further abroad. We are a proud local firm owned and managed by a dynamic partnership, committed to the economic growth and community development of South Australia. With over 40 partners and more than 280 staff, we provide legal advice to both public and private sector clients, including listed and unlisted companies. We have developed a reputation for innovation and an internal culture that drives excellence.
Our lawyers have local and international experience, and they take a client-focused, holistic approach to finding solutions and solving problems. Fresh thinking is second nature to us and we’re not afraid to try something new.
