OUR HISTORY
Our foundations have remained the same since 1873
We have been practising law in Melbourne since before we had a parliament or a constitution. During that time, Williams Winter has never been taken over by another firm and has never merged. This makes the firm unique; a Melbourne institution. Over the years however, the firm has acquired a number of smaller practices (Moran & Hayes, King & Stewart and Michael Green) as well as the deeds register of Nicholas Calleja.
From the early days, the firm had a commitment to the welfare of its clients and a genuine desire to make the law accessible to the full spectrum of the marketplace. This ethos continues today with the firm's present solicitors. Our lawyers are truly committed to the practice of law and our principals do not engage in other business interests.
