Omond & Co provides pragmatic, commercial advice that takes account of all of its client's circumstances. It does not simply provide a statement of the relevant law, leaving the client to try to apply it to reality. The firm's non-CBD (Melbourne, Australia) location and low number of staff means that it is very cost-competitive, with a charge-out rate for lawyers with 20+ years' quality commercial experience equal to charge-out rates for 1st or 2nd year lawyers at the big CBD firms. Omond & Co does not try to be a 'full service' firm - it only undertakes work when it can do so economically, efficiently, and accurately. If a task is outside the areas of the firm's expertise, we will tell the client. We can then offer to source the advice from another specialist law firm (or barrister), direct the client to an appropriate service provider, or leave it to the client to source its own advice.
