The new office will be the second in Western Australia and 15th nationwide for the firm, which is the largest family law firm in Australia.
The new office will be led by a senior lateral hire, the announcement noted, who has been recruited in the region.
In the market update, AFL executive chairman Grant Dearlove said that the lateral recruitment and office expansion in Perth’s north have been “fuelled by the success of our client acquisition model” in Western Australia.
“Through our analysis, we were confident it was a state that utilised digital avenues for relationship law and the level of inquiry we are generating in the region is already equivalent to our Queensland and New South Wales markets,” he detailed.
“We continue to be encouraged by the effectiveness of our client acquisition model as we scale and its success has again increased the speed of our expansion plans.”
The news follows the firm’s acquisition of Watts McCray earlier this year.
