Our evolution

When we established in 2000, our vision was to shape the future of law firms in Australasia. With rapid growth, our engagements extended to working in the Asian, European, and North American regions. Today, our world-class team of consultants possess a wealth of insights and experience, which is fundamental to delivering value for our clients.

Our role as an industry leader is to identify opportunities where innovation can be introduced and efficiency can be improved, which in turn provides an opportunity for competitive advantage.

It is very satisfying to know that helping our clients introduce
step-change improvements over the years has steadily aided in achieving our mission to modernise the legal profession.

Evolution of the legal profession has hastened in recent years through globalisation, advanced technologies, economic disruptions, and a change in the relationship between our clients and their clients. To adapt to these changes, we have also evolved by adapting our services to address today's needs.

"The support from Harriss Wagner over the years has been amazing. Up to our combination in 2012, I viewed Harriss Wagner as part of my team. I could not have done without this support and have very fond memories."

Rob Wymond, Deputy Chief Financial Officer, K&L Gates

Exceeding expectations

Many consultants and advisers attempt to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Although they may offer similar services, they often are, in fact, dissimilar in terms of important factors such as value, reliability and approach.

We invest in learning about our clients. We seek to understand what is necessary and important to them, and together, determine the best approach to be taken to help achieve their business objectives and quality outcomes.

Our proximity to the most sensitive of business issues shared by our clients establishes a relationship of integrity, trust and mutual respect. Partnering with our clients to assist in delivering their business innovation and improvement projects with a results-focused approach is what our clients say separates Harriss Wagner from others.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Since our inception, we have provided our people, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or beliefs, with opportunities to use their talents.

We recognise and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories as a proud part of our shared national identity, and pay respect to their Elders - past, present and emerging.

Contributing to the community is an integral part of our values.

We are committed to ensuring that our business and supply chains do not involve forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking. Our Code of Conduct reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business relationships.

We have always taken the time to listen to and help organisations and individuals in need, along with donating to multiple charities focused on the underprivileged, children's well-being, genetic diseases, and wildlife. 

Our leadership team

Maintaining excellence is important to us. This is reflected through our instinctively disciplined, world-class team of consultants, who inspire confidence when our clients are faced with challenges required to drive change to achieve operational excellence.
