The Young
Hunter story
Some might say that starting a law firm in the middle of the Great Depression was an enormous gamble. It was one of many that Henry Austen Young took, and it worked. Young's favourite saying was, "There's no such word as can't."
Established in 1932 by Henry Austen Young, Hugh Hunter joined the partnership 7 years later.
For the last 90 years, we have continued Young and Hunter's legacy of investing in each other, thriving on the ambition of our clients, and giving back to our community.
While the world has changed, our values have remained the same, and we continue to share in the successes of our clients.
We welcome you to contact us and join us in being part of that ongoing success.
