Collas Crill has the ethos of being easy to do business with. We take a ‘hands on’ approach from the partners and senior staff, ensuring client work gets done accurately and efficiently first time, every time.
Our success is not based solely on our high standards of professional expertise and legal skill, although we wouldn't be where we are now without those as standard. We are a people business and we know what really sets us apart is the way we do business and the time and care we put into building strong relationships.
We have consistently challenged the status quo to find simpler, faster and smarter ways to help those we work with achieve their business and personal objectives. If something needs a different approach, we won't be constrained by convention or tradition to get the right outcome for our clients.
As a firm, we listen, we connect and we understand, not only to our clients, but to each other to get the job done. We recognise the skills, expertise and experience, each one of our staff brings to the firm. Combining our individual strengths enables us to live up to the expectations of our clients.
We don't shy away from doing things differently. We won't sit on the fence because we know our clients expect more than that. And asmeasure our own success from our clients' perspective, it's important that they know were on their team. We think differently to get better results.
Being passionate about what we do is important to how we approach our work and our clients. It's that passion that makes us truly care about what we do. We want that to be obvious in everything we do. We relish a challenge, delight in our clients' achievements, and believe that because we love what we do, our clients will love working with us, too.

These values are what drives our culture, what differentiates us and sets us apart.
Many say this, few deliver against it, but our integral 'one firm' attitude combined with our values is what allows our people to work across different teams, departments and jurisdictions in a seamless, joined-up way. So, not only do our clients benefit from our breadth of knowledge and experience, but our people enjoy a diverse and challenging environment, everyday.
