As we approach the end of 2024, it's the perfect time to reflect on the year we've had at Sierra Legal.  Here’s a snapshot of our year:

• ‍Continuing our commitment to our clients: We’ve had the privilege of supporting our valued clients across a wide range of corporate and commercial legal matters. This year, our clients included Bingo Industries, Clark Rubber, Control Bionics, CreativeCubes.Co, Cybe, Edison Partners, Energy Power Systems Australia, Epivets, Homart Pharmaceuticals, Medibank, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, National Lotteries and Newsagents Association, Scanspek, Simoco Wireless Solutions, Simonds Homes, TMX Transform, Uniting Church, and many more.

• M&A highlights: We were proud to play a key role in several successful M&A transactions, including acting for the sellers in the acquisition of Orbitz Elevators in Australia and New Zealand by KONE, acting for the seller in the sale of Axima (a 3PL and international freight forwarding business) to the Natrio group, acting for Homart Pharmaceuticals in the acquisition of the Thompsons vitamin business and the Thursday Plantation skincare business, and acting for the sellers in the sale of RCR International to EHI.

• Expanding our Sierra Monthly Plans: More businesses joined our fixed-fee plans this year, benefiting from consistent, cost-effective support for their everyday legal needs.

• Innovating with technology: Using our Arreis Automation platform, we continued to deliver tailored web applications for our clients, helping them streamline their document generation and legal processes, saving both time and resources.

• Launching our Sierra Legal Training Program: This year, we introduced an internal training initiative where our senior lawyers shared their expertise with the next generation. Fortnightly one-hour sessions covered a range of practical topics, enriching the depth of our team’s knowledge.

• Establishing the Sierra Social Club: We launched the Sierra Social Club, a monthly gathering for our lawyers across Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Far North Queensland, and Adelaide. These informal catch-ups over drinks have strengthened connections across our geographically diverse team.

• Welcoming new talent: We were excited to expand the Sierra Legal family, welcoming Special Counsel Katie Johnston, who joined us in February, and Luke Pigram, who came on board as a Senior Associate in April.

Thank you

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to extend our sincere thanks to our clients, partners, and team for their trust, collaboration, and support. Here’s to an exciting 2025 ahead - stay tuned for what’s to come!
