“Corvus is the family name for a raven.
Ravens have unique communication skills and amazing problem solving abilities. They are extremely adaptable, show great empathy and they like to have fun.”
We are Business Lawyers and Workplace Advisors with over 40 years senior legal and HR experience working in Australian and international companies.
This means we understand exactly what our clients want and how to best deliver legal and workplace advice and assistance that meets their unique needs.
Given our own ‘inside’ experiences on senior management teams within commercial organisations, we pride ourselves on our simple communication. We ensure our clients receive the answers and help they need without the jargon.
Our size and experience means our directors are always hands on. We can work with our clients on things that pop up and need attention immediately, or on projects that require in depth knowledge and strategic thinking.
We don’t pretend to be everything to everybody. If we can't provide the absolute best subject matter expertise for our clients we ensure we find someone from our trusted network of advisers that can.

Martin Richardson
Martin spent 12 years working as a senior legal adviser inside some of Australia’s foremost companies. As ‘inside counsel’ Martin learnt that any effective commercial legal adviser understands how to balance the role of business defender with the role of business partner. As a member of several senior management teams Martin also gained a sound understanding of solving legal problems as part of larger commercial challenges and opportunities.
Martin’s personal approach and experience lends itself perfectly to any business that requires a hands-on legal adviser that doesn’t get bogged down in jargon when providing advice and assistance, and requires solid relationships at all levels of an organisation.
Having held the role as General Counsel several times Martin has also effectively managed large teams and mentored and coached colleagues and team members. Martin is passionate about developing the next generation of in-house lawyers.
