The transition of Reid Commercial Law to Sparke Helmore Lawyers took place in September in a move that gives the firm a much greater reach in the Hunter and mid-north coast.

Reid Commercial Law has offices in Port Macquarie, Newcastle, and Sydney. The firm was founded by David Reid, who joins Sparke Helmore as a partner. Sparke Helmore began operations in Newcastle in 1882.

Today, in addition to Newcastle, Sparke Helmore Lawyers operates in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and the Upper Hunter.
