Since 1882 , Sparke Helmore Lawyers has been providing legal services to Australian businesses. That is 140 years of success through bringing our experience and knowledge to our clients. We are proudly Australian, and ours is a story of growth.

As a truly national, award-winning firm, we cover a broad area of legal practice across six practice groups—Corporate & Commercial; Commercial Insurance; Government; Property, Environment & Finance; Statutory Lines Insurance; and Workplace—with more than 30 specialised areas of expertise.

Covering a big country needs a big team. We are more than 1000 people strong across 10 offices—in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney and the Upper Hunter—servicing an enviable client base of Australian and global organisations.

Even the simplest dispute resolution scenarios drain money, time, and energy – they keep leaders awake at night, strain vital business relationships, and can harm reputations. In our experience, negotiation, mediation, and expert determination are the most effective ways to secure an early and cost-efficient resolution. 

We are able to navigate your commercial disputes (including suppliers) to quickly identify, simplify, and resolve issues to avoid litigation where possible, or to litigate to a successful conclusion where necessary. We can draw from lessons learned from these litigations, including continually testing and validating the facts of any matter to uncover the best solutions and focusing attention on key commercial litigation drivers.

Australia’s Insurance landscape has never been so complex or so heavily scrutinised. Yet with so many insurers, policies, and choices – including an abundance of generic ‘direct’ insurance offers – it’s also never been harder to know which option is the best for you and your business. That’s why there’s never been a more important time to partner with a specialist Insurance Adviser who works for you, not your insurer.

Insurance Advisers are highly trained insurance and risk management specialists. An Insurance Adviser works closely with you to understand and identify the various risks your business faces, before helping you decide the most appropriate and cost-effective ways to protect against them.
