What the Team is Known For
Foley's List operates from Owen Dixon Chambers in Melbourne and traces its origins back to 1860, now being co-owned and maintained by over 300 barristers who offer advocacy experience acquired in Australian and numerous foreign jurisdictions. In addition to a broad commercial law practice, including barristers with skills in banking and finance, employment, insolvency and taxation issues, the list is also noted for its concentration of Royal Commission-related expertise. One source noted their quality in employment law, stating: "They are a fantastic set of barristers that specialise in industrial and employment law". Chief clerk Andrew Turner is the key contact.
