As members of the Victorian Bar, our members are obliged to accept briefs in a field in which they practise.  We welcome work ranging from small to large and complex matters.  Many of our members are entitled to practise everywhere in Australia.  Some are also entitled to practise in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Pacific jurisdictions like Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands.

CommBar members are often briefed direct by corporate counsel, government lawyers and patent attorneys.
