ABOUT STACKS
Each member of Stacks/The Law Firm is an independent, incorporated legal practice but by working together, the group can offer expert legal advice at a much higher level and across a wider geographical area.
Stacks/The Law Firm is now the largest regional-based network of law practices in Australia, with more than 20 offices, 70 professional staff and 130 support staff.
We trust our people, and believe in moving with them, rather than losing experts who wish to relocate geographically. As such, we now have experts in many different areas of law, spread right across NSW, QLD and ACT. This system of information sharing means that each lawyer is able to draw on the resources and expertise of the wider group.
User groups in each of the main areas of law have been established across the offices, which regularly come together via conference calls and face-to-face meetings to share common precedents, pool resources and collectively problem solve. This is a real benefit to individual clients, who have access to the combined knowledge and experience of several lawyers across NSW. The end result is a consistently high level of service.
Our geographic location, and the fact that each law firm in the group is of a moderate size, allow us to keep our costs down. Each firm can operate its own small practice without the financial pressure associated with running a large firm, but with access to the resources of essentially a large firm. This translates to greater value for money for you. We aim to ensure that our legal fees are always reasonable in relation to the services we provide.
OUR BACKGROUND
Stacks/The Law Firm owes its origin to a determined honours graduate from Sydney University, Edward Raymond Stack, who established a law firm in Wingham on the mid North coast of New South Wales during the Great Depression in 1931.
Stacks/The Law Firm has slowly grown to become one of Australia's largest and most respected legal practices.
Its growth can largely be attributed to making the most of opportunities and trusting its people. As each step in the firm's history unfolded, Stacks principals have been willing to back the abilities of key people who needed to move to a new location. So instead of losing skills and expertise, Stacks opened offices in their new destinations.
A legal phenomenon grows from an ideal based on expansion through support of good people resulting in the growing network of law firms that exist today.
