Specific lawyers like Katrina, Luke, and Louise receive positive mentions for being helpful, easy to talk to, and providing great advice. However, some clients express serious concerns about cases being handled by junior staff without proper oversight, excessive billing for minimal progress, and poor communication during staff transitions that led to additional charges.

I had a great experience working with Katrina and her team during my house purchase. Everything was explained clearly, communication was prompt and the whole process felt smooth and stress free. I felt well supported and would happily recommend them to anyone buying a home.
Great experience working with Henderson Reeves Lawyers with the purchase of our 1st home. Definitely would recommend Luke and Louise. So helpful easy to talk to. Great advice. Thank you so much, really appreciate everything they have done for us.
Henderson Reeves has been my go-to for legal services over the years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their expertise in conveyancing has made property transactions seamless, and their guidance in commercial and business law has been invaluable. I’ve also appreciated their knowledge and professionalism in relationship property and family law, always providing clear advice with care and attention to detail. The team is approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcomes for their clients. Their dedication to both their clients and the wider community is truly commendable, and it was fantastic to have their support for our 2025 Ray White White Plate on the Waterfront event. Highly recommend!
I would not recommend this firm. I used them for a challenge with a property management group. And while the person I worked with, appeared to know what he was doing he neglected to mention he would be taking vacation and handing me off to somebody else during my case. That person was not as up to speed as they should have been needing more time to go over the case which they charged me for.
In hindsight realize they allocated a junior to a case with 3/4 million on the line. Spent $30k on absolutely nothing. I'm convinced they don't actually care about resolution, just drag it out for months just to line their pockets. Definitely would never use them again.
