What Coleman Greig Lawyers does

Coleman Greig Lawyers is a privately-held Sydney-based law firm founded in 1927, operating across five office locations in Greater Sydney (Parramatta, Norwest, Sydney CBD, Penrith, and Campbelltown-Macarthur) with a workforce of 101-250 employees. The firm delivers a comprehensive portfolio of legal services organised into two divisions: Commercial Law (commercial advice, commercial property, commercial taxation, employment law and WHS, government advisory, industry-sector specialisations, and litigation/disputes) and Personal Law (family law and mediation/arbitration, conveyancing, personal taxation, retirement living, superannuation/SMSF, and wills/estate planning). Its client base spans family-owned businesses, medium enterprises, multinational subsidiaries, state and local government bodies, and individuals across NSW.

The firm generates revenue through billable legal services with quote-driven pricing: consultations are fee-based rather than free, retainers are required for certain matters, and pricing varies by legal area, complexity, and lawyer seniority. Distribution is entirely direct — clients engage via the website enquiry form, phone, email, or in-person at one of the five offices — with no reseller, marketplace, or channel partner model. The firm's go-to-market relies on content marketing (publications, plain-English guides, eBooks, webinars), community events (Women In Business, Coleman Greig Challenge charity event), and credibility marketing via Doyle's Guide recognition (2021-2023) and Lawyers Weekly awards (2026). A partnership with JustFund provides eligible family law clients with deferred-payment fee funding.

On the technology side, the firm operates standard legal practice management infrastructure, secure client data storage, and digital communication tools enabling hybrid in-person and virtual consultations. The platform does not include proprietary AI, machine-learning, or automated document-processing capabilities. Supplementary productised offerings include CG Workplace Connect, an employment law workplace compliance platform. The firm holds five NSW Law Society Accredited Specialists in Family Law and AIFLAM-accredited mediators and arbitrators, with senior counsel such as Peter Bobbin (30+ years in taxation and succession planning) anchoring the bench.
