What makes us different

We provide high quality legal services in the most efficient way possible. And we care.

We are a firm that is made up, almost exclusively, of partner-level lawyers. Virtually all of our work is done by senior lawyers with specialist expertise, meaning that:

we care about the outcome of every matter and the way it is handled,
we identify issues and solutions quickly,
you will not waste time or money dealing with junior lawyers who do not have the knowledge or expertise to progress your matter, and
you will receive an exceptionally responsive, agile service.

We offer flexible pricing options, ensuring you retain control over your legal spend.

Our clients are universally happy with our service. Our average overall client satisfaction score is 97%.

What we do

We serve as a trusted advisor to forward-thinking companies in the construction, property and technology sectors.

We work with companies who want more than traditional legal advice. We focus on outcomes and solutions, and our aim is to get there in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

We are widely recognised for our ability to distil the most complex concepts into simple terms and to identify practical solutions. Our aim is to give you the information and support you need to solve problems and to make decisions with confidence.

We provide exceptionally good value for money if you are :

looking for a lawyer who can become a specialist in your business;
an in-house lawyer needing ad hoc overflow support, or
a law firm seeking a safe pair of hands when conflicts of interest arise.

Our history

Turtons is a fourth generation, Australian family-owned business.

Our firm was founded by FW Turton in Sydney in 1911. Since then, he has been followed by three successive generations: his daughter (Betty Turton), her son (Bill Henry) and his son (Greg Henry), the current principal of the firm.

Over time, the size of the firm and the range of its service offering has varied. Since the late 1960's, it has had a distinctly commercial focus.

Since the early 2000's, Turtons has worked principally for companies working in the construction, property and technology sectors.
