In some ways, the Australian legal market is very similar to the UK. The country’s major legal hub, Sydney, just like London houses about 40% of the lawyers in the country. But one thing that’s different is the relative importance of the country’s second- and third-ranked cities. Melbourne and Brisbane host nearly 50% of the population between them. (By contrast Manchester and Birmingham in the UK have just 7% combined.)

So what? In Australia the 13,000 practising lawyers in its major law firms are highly concentrated in just a few major cities. Take a look at our interactive map.

The 20 biggest firms, by fee-earning population, have about 8,000 lawyers on their books.

At the senior levels, HWL Ebsworth has the most Partners in Australia , followed by MinterEllison and King & Wood Mallesons.

The gender profile of the lawyers in Australia follows a similar profile to that of the UK, except the gap at partnership level is even more acute.
