Arnold Bloch Leibler is renowned as the commercial law firm clients turn to for advice and support on their most complex legal matters, high stakes transactions, disputes and commercial decisions.

While our client base is diverse, we are best known for our work with highly entrepreneurial businesses (ASX listed, and family owned) and high-wealth private clients, and our unparalleled public interest law practice.

We also advise international enterprises and individuals from the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East with interests in Australia and enjoy long-standing relationships with leading hedge funds, private equity firms, insolvency practitioners, accountants, private bankers and law firms across the globe.

The firm is at the cutting edge of law and its implications for businesses, individuals and Australian society as a whole. From our decades of leadership in native title and public interest matters, to advising on complex and high-profile commercial transactions and disputes, ABL drives innovation.

ABL truly stood out to me due to the dynamic nature of the work, with each day bringing new and diverse challenges. There are moments, especially during my commute, when I find myself reflecting on how fortunate I am to live in Sydney and have this opportunity. It is a source of immense pride to be a part of the ABL team, each day working closely with the Partners on challenging & fulfilling work.
