The history of DBH

Our journey started in 1970 as a general legal practice in Adelaide, quickly becoming known for our personal injury and industrial law expertise. In the early 2000’s our commercial practice expanded and today we are an industry leader in multiple areas, including class actions and birth injuries.

We are proud of our continued service for South Australians, the great team of lawyers at DBH, and the way we give back to our community.
