About Aspen Legal - Aspen Legal

A fresh approach to legal services

Aspen Legal was founded in 2020 with a bold ambition: to deliver legal services that are both exceptional and refreshingly easy to work with.

Since our inception, we’ve grown rapidly into a unique player in the Australian legal landscape—combining the scale and agility of a legal secondments business with the rigour and capability of a commercial law firm.

Our mission is to be a premier legal services provider with a refreshingly simple approach. We don’t just solve legal problems—we make it easy to work with us.

We’re not here to follow tradition—we’re here to challenge it, while maintaining the highest standards of legal professionalism. Our model is built for the modern in-house legal environment, where responsiveness, flexibility and practical outcomes are paramount.

High calibre, commercial lawyers with extensive in-house experience and a high degree of technical expertise

A streamlined, relationship-led approach that makes partnering with us simple and productive

Clear, commercial legal advice that balances risk with business outcomes

Flexible pricing and engagement models that meet your operational and budget needs

A unique dual offering

At Aspen Legal, we’re proud to operate as both a legal secondments provider and a commercial law firm.

Our clients can choose the support they need—whether that’s embedded legal talent for ongoing matters or strategic legal advice on complex issues. No matter how you work with us, you can expect:

Our team

Our team comprises both permanent staff and a broad pool of secondees across Australia - many of whom have worked with Aspen Legal across multiple assignments over many years. This gives us the ability to match the right lawyer to the right client, every time.

We know that the skills required to be successful in-house are different to that in private practice – so whist most of our lawyers have had top-tier training at some point in their career, all of our lawyers have significant in-house experience. Their commerciality, combined with excellent stakeholder engagement translates to Aspen Legal’s team being able to add significant value from day one of the engagement.
