The Firm

International law firm.
Local lawyers in three jurisdictions.

Collins Quarters operates full-service legal practices in Australia, India and Malaysia - Australian-qualified lawyers in Melbourne, Indian-qualified lawyers in Chennai, and Malaysian counsel covering Kuala Lumpur - under one international firm.

Our Story

An international law firm built across three home markets

Collins Quarters is structured as a genuinely international law firm, with full legal teams operating in their own jurisdictions across Australia, India and Malaysia.

Each office runs a complete domestic practice - corporate and commercial, mergers and acquisitions, property, employment, regulatory and dispute work - backed by more than 50 years of combined legal experience across our partners. Our Australian lawyers handle Australian work, our Indian lawyers handle Indian work, and our Malaysian counsel handle Malaysian work, in line with each jurisdiction's practising rules.

Where a matter touches more than one country - Indian companies expanding under ECTA, Malaysian developers facing FIRB, group restructures, multi-jurisdictional disputes, or global mobility programs - we run a single coordinated mandate across our three offices, with one partner accountable end-to-end.
