Austin Hanley Legal Search

Austin Hanley Legal Search operates from Brisbane, focusing on Legal, Executive Search, and Consulting & Advisory across Australia. Our dedicated team specializes in identifying and placing high-calibre professionals within the legal sector, offering strategic recruitment and advisory services tailored to firm and in-house requirements.

Austin Hanley was established by Richard Pooley and James Pfahl to be the most trusted and successful legal search business in the country.

As a privately owned, independent business we are flexible in our approach and are not accountable to external shareholders, internal sales targets nor conflicted by extensive off-limit restrictions.

We have facilitated some of the most notable mergers, team moves and lateral partner acquisitions in Australia.
