Adam Gilbert
Managing Director
Adam Gilbert is an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer with a proven track record of building and leading high-performing legal teams.

Returning to private practice in 2015, Adam went on to establish two Corporate and Commercial departments from the ground up. Under his leadership, both teams achieved strong recognition in the Legal 500 rankings, including a promotion from Tier 3 to Tier 2 in 2022 — a reflection of his strategic direction, client focus and management expertise.
As the founder of AG Corporate Law, Adam later acquired Michelle O’Shea Conveyancers.
