Founded by Alfonso Grillo and Garrick Higgins, the firm places strong emphasis on understanding clients’ commercial goals and the environments in which they operate, enabling them to deliver practical and straightforward advice.

GrilloHiggins offers legal support across a broad range of practice areas including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, corporate and commercial matters, energy and resources, entertainment, intellectual property and technology, health, start-ups, property, employment, and not-for-profit sectors. Since its establishment, the firm has expanded beyond its Melbourne headquarters with the opening of an office in Perth in 2020. The team at GrilloHiggins works collaboratively to ensure every matter is managed professionally and efficiently, with a focus on delivering solutions that drive commercial success. Experienced partners David Woodford, Matthew Bridges, and Tony Petani join the founding partners in leading a capable team of lawyers and support staff committed to supporting clients throughout their corporate journey.
