Our Values
Our core values guide everything we do from how we work with each other to how we serve you. They reflect our commitment to excellence, integrity, and community.
Support
Because we genuinely care, about each other, our clients, and the community we call home.
How we live this value:
Within our team: We hire passionate, like-minded professionals who are committed to growth, excellence, and collaboration.
For our clients: We deliver premium legal services, offering Gippsland residents the high-quality experience you would expect from a large city law firm right here, close to home.
In our community: We prioritise supporting our local Baw Baw and broader Gippsland region whenever possible, giving back to the community that has supported us.
Quality
Because you deserve to feel confident, reassured, and protected.
How we live this value:
Expertise across the board: Our firm combines the breadth of a general practice with the depth of specialist knowledge.
Tailored client experience: We bring consistency to every matter, while tailoring our advice and service to suit each client’s unique needs.
Attention to detail: We provide thorough, honest advice, without cutting corners, so you can move forward with complete peace of mind.
Trust
Because trust is earned and we’re proud of the strong reputation we’ve built.
How we live this value:
Respect at every level: We treat everyone — colleagues, clients, opposing parties, service providers, barristers, and courts — with professionalism and courtesy.
Straightforward advice: We’re honest with you about the risks, challenges, and realities of your legal matter, including the emotional and financial impacts.
Integrity in action: We honour our commitments, celebrate each other's successes, own our mistakes, and always strive to lift one another up.
At Wakefield Lawyers, these values aren’t just words they guide our decisions, shape our culture, and define the service you can expect from us. Every member of our team, from our Partners to our newest staff members, is committed to providing these values every day.
