Ward Keller is the Northern Territory’s oldest law firm, tracing its history back to 1910. The modern version of Ward Keller was founded in 1963, over 50 years ago. We are also the Territory’s largest legal practice. Our experienced team of partners, lawyers, conveyancers and staff operate from four offices in Darwin, Palmerston, Casuarina, and Alice Springs. We also have a serviced office in Katherine and we attend Nhulunbuy by appointment.
Ward Keller is a full-service law firm with dispute resolution and commercial practice areas. We also have dedicated conveyancing, family law and migration practices.
Ward Keller’s partners are highly respected in their fields of expertise, and between them have almost 100 years service with Ward Keller. A number of our practitioners are recognised leaders in their areas of practice, including, mining and resources, wills and estates, banking and finance, and stamp duty and payroll tax.
As one of only six Australian member firms of Lawyers Associated Worldwide, an association of 3700 lawyers in 100 law firms in some 60 countries, we can also help our clients with interests outside Australia to get the international legal assistance they need.
We assist resource companies, infrastructure operators, pastoralists, financial institutions, the Territory Government, developers, insurance companies, national law firms, publicly listed companies, small business and individuals from the local community.
