Norton Rose Fulbright and Mailman Law form innovative Indigenous commercial law firm in Australia
Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright announced on 25 October 2018 that it will form a new majority Indigenous-owned commercial law firm – known as Jaramer Legal – in a joint venture with Mailman Law principals Bevan Mailman and Brian Bero.
Jaramer Legal will draw upon support from Norton Rose Fulbright to provide culturally sensitive and high quality legal services to government and corporate organisations, including in the procurement and execution of Australian projects and other business ventures.
The legal services Jaramer Legal will provide will also be intrinsically linked to improved economic outcomes for Indigenous peoples under the federal government’s ‘Closing the Gap Policy’ and similar initiatives. Through that framework, and the government’s ‘Developing Northern Australia’ initiative, Jaramer Legal will also focus on working with Indigenous businesses and communities to drive positive economic outcomes through the development of their lands.
Through the engagement of Indigenous lawyers, and as it grows, Jaramer Legal will prioritise job opportunities and investment in the professional development of Indigenous commercial lawyers.
Jaramer Legal will commence shortly once final arrangements are settled. If you would like to find out more about this unique venture, please fill in the form on this page and we will be in touch shortly.
