Keypoint Law’s reflections on 10 years Down Under and what’s coming next

In a decade, consulting model firm Keypoint Law has established itself as a national mid-tier, with 80 partner-level lawyers in six capital cities – but one of its biggest challenges moving forward, its CEO says, is that around half of the law firm partners across the country have never heard of it. Becoming better known and having its model better understood, he says, will see the emerging firm become an even bigger player in Australia. 

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Keypoint Law chief executive Warren Kalinko about the decade that has been for Keypoint in Australia, who the firm is and what it does, how receptive practitioners are to the firm’s model, where the firm currently sits in the Australian market, and the biggest hurdles in the way of its continued growth.

Kalinko also reflects on Keypoint’s growth targets in the coming years, the specific areas and jurisdictions where the firm sees opportunities for growth, whether practitioners will be more receptive to such a firm model given how much working life has changed in recent years, whether the firm would ever become a listed entity, and what the future could hold for such consulting models in Australia.
