Sharrock Pitman Legal

What Sharrock Pitman Legal does

Sharrock Pitman Legal is a privately held Australian law firm headquartered at 233 Blackburn Road, Mount Waverley, Victoria, operating continuously since 1967. The firm provides legal services across seven core practice areas: Commercial Law, Workplace Relations, Property Law, Disputes & Litigation, Probate & Deceased Estates, Wills & Succession Planning, and Charity & Not-for-Profit Law. Its client base consists primarily of small-to-medium businesses, not-for-profit organizations, individuals and families, and property owners in Melbourne's eastern suburbs (City of Monash and greater Melbourne). The firm operates as a single integrated practice rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, and is differentiated by an unusual fixed-fee pricing model agreed upfront with clients rather than hourly billing, four Accredited Specialists accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria (in Commercial Law, Property Law, Commercial Litigation, and Wills & Estates), and a multilingual team covering Afrikaans, Cantonese, Hindi, Malay, Mandarin, Punjabi, Spanish, and Urdu.

The firm is led by Managing Principal Mitchell Zadow and a team of Principals, Associate Principals, Senior Associates, and Associates, and generates revenue exclusively through professional service fees billed under its fixed-price model. It does not disclose revenue, has no external funding, and is not part of a larger group. Its go-to-market is sales-led and community-driven: content marketing (blog articles, downloadable legal guides, newsletters), educational events (webinars, Business Club meetings, School of Hard Knocks Business Club event recordings), and a bilingual English/Chinese website with an active WeChat presence for the Chinese-speaking Melbourne community. Distribution channels are direct — in-person consultations at Mount Waverley, telephone/email inquiries, Zoom meetings, and website contact forms. Supporting the core practice, Sharrock Pitman Legal has built a content ecosystem including the free SPL Biz Guide mobile app, the "Fighting for Enterprise Success" business workbook authored by David Sharrock, and a library of legal guides and event recordings used as top-of-funnel lead-generation assets.

The firm has been recognized as a finalist for Regional/Suburban Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Associate Principal Caroline Callegari was named to the 2024 Elite Women in Australian Law list, reflecting an established brand position within the Australian suburban legal market. Underlying technology is limited to standard web and a free mobile content app; the firm does not disclose any proprietary technology, AI capabilities, patents, partnerships, or institutional investment, and is not a technology company.
