O’Hallorans is a legal practice, specialising in corporate, securities and business law.

The Firm’s structure is an incorporated legal practice, O’Hallorans Pty Limited, and is conducted under the business name, O’Hallorans. John O’Halloran is the principal of the practice.

The Practice

The Firm’s clientele includes listed and unlisted corporations, investment banking and broking houses, securities market operators, CEOs and other senior executives, and other business people and professionals who require specialised corporate, securities and commercial expertise.

The practice undertakes substantial transactional matters including takeovers, mergers, and company and business sales and acquisitions (with a transaction value up to hundreds of millions of dollars), and also accepts instructions in specialist advisory work. (In the case of instructions which involve significant litigation or which are potentially litigious, separate and special arrangements appropriate to such matters will apply.)

It may also be of advantage for a client or its advisers to have, at appropriate times, an independent, external service. For example, directors or boards may require separate representation in matters affecting their personal interests or involving conflicts of interests. In this area, the Firm frequently accepts referrals from other legal and professional firms.

Keynotes of the Firm’s practice style are partner-level involvement at all times, efficient work production, responsiveness and accessibility.

The Firm's Philosophy

We aim to be the trusted adviser of each of our clients, and this is a valued privilege.

We strive to earn this trust by applying our wide expertise and long experience in the practice of corporate and commercial law to:

- understanding the client’s needs and objectives; and

- carefully analysing the problems and issues,

so as to arrive at outcomes which are at once legally sound, practical, and attuned to those objectives. In short, we will answer the question: “What would you do if you were the client?”
