management

Wilsons Lawyers’ business plan is continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of the firm and clients and to expand the practice to its “optimum” level.

Geoff Wilson manages in his capacity as Principal. 
His management style is open, honest, decisive and consultative.

Staff play a key role in both the development and implementation of all plans, which are kept simple and achievable.

Staff are empowered to make decisions in respect of the development and implementation of the plan.  This provides them with freedom, flexibility and support to take their careers to the level ‘they’ choose. 

human resources

In growing our business, we seek staff who can maintain good relationships with colleagues, manage a healthy work - life balance and who share our values.

Integral to the firm is a culture of mentoring, support, encouragement and access to the resources necessary to be successful.

We seek lawyers who are capable, organised, focussed and who can manage their own practice.  We employ people who are excellent lawyers, not excellent lawyers who happen to be people. 

We seek support staff who are motivated, organised, who want to make a contribution and can work in a team.

Our key philosophy in managing staff is to have clear, respectful, open and honest communication.

systems

We have a state of the art electronic Practice Management system, Open Practice, which provides excellent reports to monitor budgets, WIP, billable hours and client information.
