About Us

There isn’t any Victorian legal firm that has as many Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) accredited specialists as Harwood Andrews Lawyers.

We are proud to hold this acclaimed standing, as it underpins our commitment to offering our clients profound experience and specialists in each of our practice areas.

Harwood Andrews Lawyers has 19 individual principals, special counsel and lawyers who have specialist accreditations, with the firm now holding specialisations in 10 distinct practice areas. According to the LIV, which is the state's peak body for lawyers and the legal sector, only the best lawyers in their field of expertise gain LIV accredited specialist status.

Our specialists apply their superior knowledge of the law, in conjunction with their deep understanding of the operations, functions and objectives of business, to help clients manage their challenges, risks and opportunities.

The benefit of having so many accredited leaders in their field is two-fold. Firstly, our clients derive the advantage of being advised by practitioners who are acknowledged by the LIV for their advanced understanding of their field of law.

Secondly, our lawyers, articled clerks, seasonal clerks and professional service personnel are able to work with and draw on the expertise of our large number of specialists. This enriches their own professional development and strengthens our culture of excellence.
