Gadens

Gadens is an association of independent partnerships.

This comprises separate partnerships carrying on business in Brisbane, Queensland and Adelaide, South Australia (ABN 30 326 150 968), Melbourne, Victoria and Sydney, New South Wales (ABN 29 991 935 627) ) and Perth, Western Australia (ABN 47 488 578 158, which also carries on business under the name Lavan) and their respective related bodies corporate. Each partnership governs itself and handles its administrative matters on a local basis. Although the associated firms use the Gadens name, there is no common ownership among them. No associated firm is responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any other associated firm.

We use the word “partner”, on this website and generally, to refer to a member of the independent partnership in the location at which the individual practises.

All partners are Australian legal practitioners.
