MEDIA RELEASE
Melbourne/Perth/Sydney, Australia
3 May 2013
(Hello) Rockwell Olivier
The new Australian name in law After a long courtship under the careful eye of their parent company chaperone, Argyle Lawyers and Pacific Legal Network (Sydney), Rockwell Bates (Melbourne) and Talbot Olivier (Perth) have finally taken the plunge and formalised their commitment to each other.
Owned by publicly listed ILH Group Limited (“ILH”), the firms are joining forces on 6 May 2013, to become Rockwell Olivier. Under this new brand, Rockwell Olivier brings an enriched commercial and private client service offering to local, national and international markets.
ILH Managing Director Graeme Fowler said: “Separately, the ILH member firms excel in their respective markets; together, they have over 100 years of experience, bring complementary services and skills, and form a dynamic, exciting and formidable new national firm with enormous growth potential”.
More than a name change, the new brand represents a consistent proactive and entrepreneurial voice across the member firms, designed to accelerate group collaboration and achieve a synergy previously unseen in the Asia Pacific market.
“The launch of the national brand, Rockwell Olivier, is the most exciting development since
our involvement as part of the first listing of a commercial law firm in the world. The common
vision of the firms in developing a strategy for growth across the Asia-Pacific region is
unparalleled.” - Brendan Taylor, Managing Principal (Perth) of Rockwell Olivier.
“Being local and being present nationally is why Argyle Lawyers is joining with Rockwell
Bates and Talbot Olivier to rebrand under the single name Rockwell Olivier.” Says Peter
Bobbin, Managing Principal (Sydney) of Rockwell Olivier. “Our clients like to work with us but
their national focus encouraged us to seek like-minded lawyers so that we can provide a true
national support. After four years of working together I am very excited to demonstrate that
we are of one mind nationally in meeting our client objectives – under Rockwell Olivier.”
“These are exciting times for Rockwell Bates. We’ve found fellow innovators and entrepreneurs in Argyle Lawyers and Talbot Olivier, something not very common in the legal industry. It’s always been a goal of Rockwell Bates to expand further into the Asia Pacific; what better way than with a like-minded team?” Adam Levine, Managing Principal of Rockwell Olivier (Melbourne).
“The adoption of a common brand is in direct response to our existing co-ordinated national
business offering. The timing is perfect for the launch of a truly independent national legal
brand. The echo of the footsteps of Rockwell Olivier will be heard not only across Australia,
but also via our unique and growing network of law firms across Asia and the Pacific.” John
Ridgway, Managing Principal (International) of Rockwell Olivier.
