Audax Legal

About Us

Audax Legal was established on 1 December 2002 as an incorporated legal practice.  It was then known as “Sirius Law”, reflecting the historical connections with the location of its offices in The Rocks, Sydney.  After 3 and a half years, the growing legal firm needed new staff, bigger offices and a make-over.  The change of name to Audax Legal coincided with taking our new premises at Australia Square Tower from 4 July 2006. Aquila audax is Australia’s wedge-tailed eagle. Audax in Latin means bold.
