The Verdict

Chief executive John Denton say the firm is “recording our best September ever”. Infrastructure from the firm (the firm has been working on desalination projects in Victoria and South Australia and government work will drive a “much stronger year”, he says. The firm is also advising Chinese companies seeking to invest in the local resources sector.

Comment

Denton has made no secret of his desire to play ball with the biggest firms. Though a slight dip in revenue this year is bound to be a disappointment, the relatively high partner drawings and maintenance of profit margin mean Corrs can offer mega-firm partners a tempting career alternative. Denton’s energy and strategic vision, and the firm’s smaller partnership, will allow it to be more agile than its larger competitors.
