The Boutique Lawyer Show: Building a business in a burgeoning regional hub

Recently, Hicksons Newcastle Partner-in-charge, Najeh Marhaba spoke with Lawyers Weekly about moving to the Hunter region, the increased volume of work in the regions, and how a recent change has strengthened the firm’s position across the Hunter.

Najeh also spoke about the opportunity to do interesting work, including regularly engaging with interests outside of the workplace. “In regional Australia, particular the Hunter, you’ve got that opportunity for people who like to go for a surf in the morning or do something other than their legal job on the side. If you want genuine work-life balance, then the regions are for you”.
