Sparke Helmore – For Good Reason

Sparke Helmore at a glance

In 2007 Sparke Helmore Lawyers celebrated 125 years of continuous service. The law firm that opened in 1882 in the Hunter region of New South Wales now operates as a truly integrated eight-office firm chosen by corporate and government leaders for good reason - the insight, energy and collaboration we bring to legal services. The real legacy of the past is a bright future for our clients, staff and our communities.

Strong platform for sustainable growth

While retaining our insurance sector dominance, Sparke Helmore is now a highly diversified business with a growing corporate and commercial presence and a well established government practice chosen by public sector leaders.

The Sparkes Difference

Our people enjoy working together and go out of their way to support their colleagues;

Corporate Social Responsibility

We put our money where our mouth is when it comes to making a positive contribution to the community.
