The board of AF Legal Group (also known as Australian Family Lawyers or AFL) has announced to the market that it will open a new “greenfield office” in Wollongong.
The new office will open on 1 July 2022.
Speaking about the Wollongong presence, AFL executive chair Grant Dearlove (pictured) said that this expansion represents the listed firm’s first greenfield start-up where it has entered a partnership model, sharing ownership with a leading lateral recruit.
“It is modelled on similar co-ownership models which have proven highly effective for sustainable growth in other professional services sectors,” he explained.
“This is a new strategic pillar to our growth model, and will feature in the launch of our renewed three-year strategic plan, ‘AFL 3.0’, at the release of our FY22 results.”
Wollongong is the third-largest city in NSW and the 10th largest in the country, with a metro area population of over 300,000 people. It has a full-time Family Court registry.
