Duncan Basheer Hannon has undergone a few name changes during more than 75 years of practice – and our approach to doing business has also evolved. It’s fair to say we haven’t stood still.

That’s probably one of the reasons Duncan Basheer Hannon is amongst South Australia’s fastest growing law firms.

What We Do
The commercial side of our practice has expanded rapidly in recent years to the stage where it is now a core part of our business. Being Adelaide-based means our clients benefit from local knowledge with specific legal advice relevant to the South Australian business environment.

Social justice issues are another important focus for Duncan Basheer Hannon and have been for many years. We have built a reputation for standing up for the community and defending the rights of individuals, particularly in the workforce in areas such as workers compensation.

Most recently we have extended this community protection role in a series of high-profile class actions in which we represented groups of clients in claims for compensation. This approach has opened the way for thousands of people to seek justice through the legal process.

It’s an example of the progressive and entrepreneurial direction taken by our lawyers in helping to secure the best possible outcome for clients.

Suburban Offices
Another initiative is the opening of suburban offices. Rather than expect you to travel into the city for advice, we have made it easier by basing our lawyers at key centres. We currently have offices at Aldinga, Modbury, Morphett Vale,
Port Adelaide and Salisbury, and are planning others for Golden Grove and
Mount Barker.

Client Loyalty
There are many other reasons why people opt for Duncan Basheer Hannon and remain loyal clients long-term:

• Strong teamwork - By operating as a team, you benefit from the considerable depth of knowledge of all our lawyers, particularly in more complex matters.

• Quality of service - The firm recently embarked on a rigorous best practice program to elevate our performance to the highest possible standard.

• Efficiency of service - To achieve this we continuously invest in the latest technology to streamline delivery. It helps ensure we respond quickly and cost-effectively.

• A good size - As a mid-sized firm, Duncan Basheer Hannon offers clients the benefits of a large city firm but with the personalised service of a smaller operation.
