Lawyers seek balance after big changes
The Perth legal market is evolving with new alliances and brands but the pace of change has slowed from the breakneck speed of recent years.
AdventBalance was a law firm operating in the 'NewLaw' paradigm. The firm operated as a fixed-fee, secondment law firm that provides an alternative to traditional legal services. It was formed by the 2012 merger of Perth-based Balance Legal, and the Sydney-based Advent Lawyers, which were both founded in 2008; Balance by Ken Jagger, and Advent by John Knox. In the years that followed becoming AdventBalance, the firm expanded into Asia attracting international attention. In 2016 AdventBalance announced a merger with London-based LOD (Lawyers on Demand) to create a firm straddling Europe, Asia, and Australia.
