GOLDMAN LAW ARE MULTI-PRACTICE LEGAL EXPERTS

Private Clients Demand Exceptional Skills & Outstanding Service

Private client lawyers are relatively new terms in the Australian legal market but have been widely used in Europe and the US when referring to lawyers and law firms for the wealthy and high net worth.
To be a private client lawyer you must provide exceptional service and have exceptional skills across a range of disciplines.

You need to have an interest in people, their families and their affairs. You must have exceptional communication skills and empathy. You must deliver outstanding results coupled with exceptional technical and drafting ability.

WHO ARE TRADITIONAL PRIVATE CLIENTS?

Goldman Commits To Provide PC Service Levels For ALL of our Clients

  1. Traditional or ‘old money’ clients including landed gentry and their estates.
  2. Entrepreneurial or ‘new money’ clients, who have made their money through business, for example.

Old money clients have tended to be more risk-averse in their attitude in contrast to the new money clients who generally have a more commercial approach to risk.

FAQ - What QUESTIONS Clients Ask

Compiled With Over 10Years of Data From Real Client Questions

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR GOLDMAN LAW TO BE A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PRIVATE CLIENT FIRM?

At Goldman Law, we’re dedicated to offering an exceptional level of service and expertise typically reserved for private clients to everyone we represent, regardless of background or financial status.

Our clients come to us for support in a range of complex areas, including:

  • personal injury,
  • employment law,
  • cyber law,
  • defamation,
  • family law,
  • divorce,
  • wills and trusts,
  • global and local tax,
  • medico-legal,
  • corporate and commercial
  • structuring
  • commercialisation,
  • funds and
  • class actions.

This multidisciplinary approach enables us to balance a portfolio of cases with varying timelines and risk profiles, allowing us to take on the most challenging and impactful cases. Our approach is about combining broad knowledge with finely honed skill to provide a high-calibre experience to all clients, unmatched by traditional firms.

HOW DOES HAVING A DIVERSIFIED PRACTICE BENEFIT CLIENTS?

Our multi-practice model provides our clients with a strategic advantage. By working across different fields, we’ve built a dynamic understanding of legal challenges that allows us to respond swiftly to changing client needs and developments in the law.

This wide perspective means we can apply litigation expertise across diverse fields, offering a depth of service that enhances outcomes and provides clients with skilled representation that is both specialized and adaptable. Our clients benefit from a legal team that operates with a level of strategic foresight and refined skill that is hard to find else where.

DOES THIS MEAN GOLDMAN LAW TRIES TO DO “EVERYTHING”?

Not at all. While we embrace a wide range of practice areas, we focus deeply on the core legal skills that make our firm effective. This approach reflects the full meaning of the adage,

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
 
By honing our core expertise and applying it thoughtfully across multiple fields, we provide our clients with a uniquely comprehensive and tailored level of service. Our goal is not breadth for its own sake, but breadth that serves our clients’ needs in a way that elevates our entire practice.
WHAT UNIQUE CHALLENGES DOES A MULTI-PRACTICE FIRM FACE, AND HOW DOES GOLDMAN LAW ADDRESS THEM?

Running a firm that supports multiple practice areas requires robust internal processes and a high level of operational discipline. At Goldman Law, we’ve invested significantly in technology and internal protocols to ensure that every client’s case is expertly managed. Our systems cover every aspect of our practice, from case intake and monitoring to budgeting and performance tracking, allowing us to uphold high standards across all areas. We also maintain in-house reporting tools, enabling us to keep cases on course and allocate resources efficiently.

This dedication to excellence behind the scenes means clients can count on us for reliability, no matter the case type.

5 KEY REASONS WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE GOLDMAN LAW’S PRIVATE CLIENT APPROACH?

At Goldman Law, we believe that every client deserves the highest level of personalized legal representation, not just those with significant wealth or high-profile cases.

Our private client approach is designed to deliver an exceptional, high-touch experience that prioritizes every client’s unique needs, regardless of their background or case type. Here’s why this approach matters to you:

  1. Tailored Legal Solutions for Every Client

    Our commitment to a private client approach means we treat each client’s case with individual attention and a custom strategy. Instead of generic responses, we develop personalized legal solutions that address the specific needs, goals, and circumstances of every client we represent.

  2. Proactive, Strategic Expertise
    By applying the same high standards as we would for a private client, we ensure that each case benefits from proactive risk assessment and strategic planning. Our team is focused on preventing issues before they arise, delivering peace of mind and a forward-looking approach to every client’s legal matter.
  3.  Access to Sophisticated Resources and Advanced Processes
    We’ve invested in leading technology, data-driven insights, and meticulously structured internal processes. This allows us to manage cases with precision and efficiency, ensuring every client has access to the highest quality resources and a seamless experience.

  4. Exceptional Responsiveness and Client Support
    With our private client approach, you can expect consistent, clear, and timely communication. We prioritize keeping clients informed, answering questions, and providing updates, making sure each client feels supported every step of the way.

  5. Cross-Disciplinary Expertise and Holistic Solutions
    Our multidisciplinary focus allows us to bring insights from various practice areas, including employment law, personal injury, civil rights, and more. This cross-disciplinary knowledge enriches our strategies, providing clients with comprehensive, well-rounded solutions.

At Goldman Law, our private client approach means that every client receives the quality, attention, and expertise they deserve—setting us apart as a firm dedicated to providing exceptional service at every level.

 

ARE YOU MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FIRMS THAT SPECIALIZE IN JUST ONE AREA OF LAW?

Not necessarily and often lower than other firms that are not as well structured.

At Goldman Law, we offer a private client approach designed to deliver value through personalized attention and multidisciplinary expertise, often at costs comparable to more specialized firms.

By combining insights across practice areas, we can often resolve complex issues more efficiently, saving clients time and potentially reducing overall legal costs. Additionally, our structured internal processes ensure each case is managed effectively, so clients benefit from high-level service without incurring unnecessary expenses.

WHY ARE THERE FEWER PRIVATE CLIENT LAW FIRMS IN AUSTRALIA COMPARED TO REGIONS LIKE EUROPE AND THE USA?

Private client law firms are more established in regions such as Europe and the USA due to a longer history of catering to high-net-worth individuals and businesses seeking comprehensive legal support.

In Australia, while private client services are less common, the demand is growing as clients recognize the value of personalized, proactive representation that spans multiple practice areas.

Goldman Law is one of the few Australian firms offering this high-touch approach to a broader range of clients, providing a unique alternative to traditional, single-focus law firms.

Our goal at Goldman Law is to provide premium service at a fair cost, tailored to the complexity of your case.

For simpler legal needs, we maintain efficiency through streamlined internal processes, allowing us to handle straightforward matters effectively without added cost.

Our team can provide advice on the most cost-effective approach for your specific needs, ensuring you receive quality support without paying for services that don’t apply to your situation.
