At Marshalls & Dent, we believe that life is more important than being caught up in legal matters.

It is this philosophy which has enabled us to assist our clients to avoid legal disputes and to get on with the business of life.

We are an innovative, energetic, results-oriented law firm that embraces and initiates change. Since 1975, our lawyers have helped many individuals, entrepreneurs, groups, corporations and the executives who manage them both locally and internationally with cost effective, time efficient legal services and advice.

We recognise a client’s individual needs, assess specific priorities and objectives and agree upon an appropriate strategy. We then implement that strategy, keeping the client fully informed of progress.

It is our proactive, hands-on approach to new technology and the changing legal environment which ensures the firm’s continued, steady growth alongside that of our clients.

We operate from modern premises in the legal heart of Melbourne’s CBD. We welcome your enquiries by phone, email or in person.
