David & Theresa Ryan

For the past seven years, we have turned to Hillhouse Legal Partners whenever we have needed any legal advice or assistance. This has included the preparation of our wills and enduring powers of attorney, conveyancing when we purchased our property and refinancing of our bank loan, just to name a few matters. The promptness of the service provided by Zac, Rob and the team at Hillhouse have always been second to none, which has provided us with much-needed peace of mind during times of significantly heightened stress. Thanks Hillhouse!

Hillhouse Legal Partners helped me set up my tech business five years ago and, since then, they have supported me with legal advice as my company has grown. From day one I have felt like they have had our backs. I've always found each Hillhouse team member to be very happy to help while being extremely professional. They understand how to run a business, they understood my journey in growing my business and I have always had their personal attention when I needed it. As my business continues to expand, I will continue turning to them for strategic and solutions focussed advice.

After many years of being on the other side of motel deals, we finally got the chance to work with David Burrough and his team. David has been our first choice ever since and it is easy to know why. Fast, knowledgeable, commercial, responsive and efficient. David has done and seen it all and devises practical solutions to problems that arise during negotiations.

Sam & Jane Barton

We have been clients of Hillhouse Legal Partners since 2014. During that time Hillhouse has assisted us with a range of matters that have arisen in the operation of our stud cattle and grazing enterprise – estate planning advice, HR advice, the purchase of our main grazing property, negotiation of an agreement with a solar farm company and negotiation of a conduct and compensation agreement for CSG exploration. Michael Morris in particular has demonstrated an eagerness to ensure he has a solid understanding of our operation and how things work in the bush, which has translated into advice that is practical and can be applied in the real world. The easy to approach team at Hillhouse has been able to meet all of our legal needs and we look forward to working with them well into the future.

Rex & Penny McClymont

Several years ago, we were recommended Hillhouse Legal Partners by another of our professional advisors. After that first experience, Hillhouse Legal Partners 'sold' us with their professionalism, knowledge, diligence and efficiency. Michael Morris and the Hillhouse team have since continued to provide us with valuable, thorough and straightforward advice and representation for our property purchases, contractual documentation, HR matters and ultimately any aspect of our cattle and property enterprise that we require. We, too, would recommend Michael and Hillhouse Legal Partners to others in our industry and to anyone seeking proficient and caring legal representatives.

Gianna Di Bella

Phil and I have dealt with a lot of law firms from small, medium and large sizes and Hillhouse are different. Much more customer centric, personal and don't do lawyer speak to make their clients feel inferior so thank you for creating a great culture within your business which flows through to the client. It's reassuring to know that your business values are in synergy with ours

Sean Jonga, PLT student

When I first started my placement, I was a legal student nervous about my professional career. When I left, I was a legal professional ready to go out into the legal world and make a difference. I was made to feel a member of the team and given my own work to undertake which at first, was very daunting. However, my mentor was there to guide me and give me support when and as I needed it. This gave me the confidence and self-belief that I was more than capable of completing legal tasks. My placement at Hillhouse Legal Partners helped me to develop professionally and as an individual.

Jane Ng, PLT Student

I did my 4 week PLT Placement at Hillhouse Legal Partners. Everyone at Hillhouse made me feel welcome and treated me as if I was part of their team. Questions are encouraged and help is always provided. Throughout my time at Hillhouse, I gained valuable experience, especially from my supervisor Rob. I was constantly exposed to different areas of law and a variety of matters. I found the most beneficial aspect of this placement was the constructive feedback provided by Rob. I enjoyed my time at Hillhouse and left feeling more confident about working in the legal industry.

Jack Deon, PLT student

My time at Hillhouse was essential to my development as a student lawyer. Through interaction with partners and other legal staff at the firm, I was able to gain a number of skills which helped me develop and greatly assisted in my law school endeavours. The skills I learnt in the drafting of court documents proved invaluable in further study, as well as during further workplace opportunities.

Hillhouse Legal Partners provided me with hands-on practical legal training (PLT) across a range of the firm's legal specialities. Robert Lamb, who supervised my PLT, is very knowledgeable and endeavoured to provide me with a range of learning experiences whenever possible.

It was great to gain real, practical legal training during my time with Hillhouse.

My mentor, Robert Lamb, provided me with excellent guidance that allowed me to improve both my legal and practical knowledge. I felt my work was appreciated and I gained very well-rounded understanding of a legal practice.
