About the business and the role
The firm
Hall Payne Lawyers (HPL) has a proud tradition of assisting Australians from all walks of life. 'Work. Life. Fairness.' That's what we believe in, and for more than 25 years we've been there for people following work accidents and other injuries, for couples and families going through change, and even for whole organisations fighting to protect their members' rights. Headquartered in Brisbane with offices in Hobart, Sydney, Darwin and regional Queensland, we've forged a strong local focus, however we also act for clients both interstate and internationally.
HPL is large enough to offer expert legal advice across multiple practice areas but small enough to be able to provide high levels of support and assistance with even the most minor claims. HPL practices in the following areas of law: Employment/ Industrial; Personal Injuries; Crime; Conveyancing; and Family, Wills & Estates.
