Gordon Legal is a full-service law firm that puts people first and business second. We have a proud history of winning hard cases for everyday people, and we continue to use the law for the purpose of doing good.
The firm was founded in 2010 by Peter Gordon, a lawyer who has spent decades at the forefront of plaintiff law and worker’s compensation in Australia.
Peter pioneered the ‘no win, no fee’ system with Paul Henderson, and made history winning landmark cases.
Today, he continues his legacy at Gordon Legal, battling for everyday people alongside a team of exceptional lawyers.
Together, we are fierce and fearless advocates of our clients.
We understand the challenges facing the Australian labour movement, and we stand up against big business and big governments on behalf of vulnerable people.
We fight for the rights and entitlements of everyday Australians, union members and union officials.
We treat all clients with respect, and we listen.
Because at Gordon Legal, it’s personal.
It’s personal for our founder, Peter Gordon, who has fought tirelessly over the years for working people.
It’s personal for those who join our team wanting to change someone’s life for the better.
And, most significantly, it’s personal for those we battle for.
