Why Us - CIE Legal

Our work is impressive, but there is nothing self-important about our approach. Find out what makes us different. In a good way.

We use CIE Legal for disputes because want the best of both worlds……..the comfort of knowing the resources are there, combined with a focused, personal service.

Jared Pereira

Senior Corporate Counsel , Fonterra

There’s a skill to homing in on the question we actually want answered. I know it can take some intellectual work from the CIE Legal team to figure out what the question is and answer it clearly – but that’s what really makes the difference.

Rebecca Browne

Senior Legal Counsel , Ford Australia

What makes us an exceptional bunch?

We’re as clever as the lawyers you’ll find at any commercial firm (maybe cleverer….), but that’s not it.

Combined, we have centuries of experience, but that’s not it.

We have an interest in all things consumer product related. Getting close.

We get a kick out of delivering results for our clients. Closer still.

We’re always looking to improve. Nearly there.

We’re decent people that our clients enjoy working with. That’s it: our team delivers law without the attitude.

Our values

We were looking for a more decent way to practice law without compromising on quality work. Our four values sum it up: strive, unite, care and clarify.

Our story

In 2008 a group of lawyers at a large national law firm spotted the gap in the market for smaller, boutique firms to advise major organisations.

Careers

If you want to combine stimulating work with other things in life, you’re in the right place. We’re always looking out for special people who’ll add something distinctive.
