We provide strategic advice and representation to our clients to protect against threats to reputation. Our firm is recognised for securing outstanding results for our clients in high stakes matters.

Our balanced perspective allows us to provide nuanced strategies and robust representation, whether you're seeking justice for reputational harm or defending against allegations of defamation. We understand the intricacies of this delicate area of law and commit to delivering clear, ethical, and effective solutions that prioritise your reputation and rights.

"Nick was great to work with. Concise communication, clear direction. So in terms of pricing, Pragma were extremely efficient and cost effective through the entire process. At the end of the day Pragma were really easy to work with and I look forward to working with them again."
"Aaron, Nick, and the team at Pragma Legal pair professionalism with practicality to achieve desirable solutions. Having engaged, as well as sat on the opposite to the Pragma team, the firm becomes a trusted advisor through understanding circumstances and objectives, whilst applying proven technical and commercial expertise. The team is always accessible, communicates promptly, and provides clarity in an environment fraught with complexity. I wholeheartedly recommend Pragma Legal to assist you in every step of your legal journey"
"We used Pragma to draw up new staff contracts following the new WHS Act and found their service to be seamless. Quick response times and price transparently provided up front. They happily answered our follow up queries and understood our industry specific needs amazingly quickly. Will happily use again as our go-to legal support."
"Pragma have been wonderful advisors to the Rivet Group on a range of matters across disputes, M&A, compliance and insolvency. Our experience with Pragma is that they are readily available, have a great team in place who is easy to work with, and they always get the law right. On more than one occasion, we have requested urgent advice on short notice and Pragma has always been willing to deliver. A firm with a bright future, we intend to engage Pragma Lawyers in years to come."
I take my hat off to you both, what an outstanding job...for you guys to get a commitment...was just short of a miracle. Take a bow and a hearty pat on the back from me. We hope we don’t need your services too often but I would certainly not deal with any other legal firm but yours.
