About Gordon Legal

Gordon Legal was founded in Melbourne in 2009 by Peter Gordon, following a career spent advocating for ordinary people and taking on powerful institutions. That commitment to fairness, access to justice and meaningful legal work continues to shape who we are today.

We’re independent, progressive and prepared to challenge conventional thinking when there’s a better way of doing something. We value good ideas, initiative and people who genuinely care about the work they do.

We’re proud of our history, but we’re more interested in what comes next. If you want to contribute ideas and be part of a firm prepared to do things differently, you’ll fit in well at Gordon Legal.
