Danaher Moulton is pleased to announce that, effective 1 July 2026, the practice of Septimus Jones & Lee has become part of Danaher Moulton.
For many decades, Septimus Jones & Lee has been a respected and trusted name in the Melbourne legal profession. Under the leadership of Howard Jones and Gareth Jones, the firm has built a reputation for providing honest, practical and client focused legal advice, particularly to families, business owners and property investors.
By bringing Septimus Jones & Lee into Danaher Moulton, we are ensuring that this legacy continues, while providing clients with access to the broader resources, expertise and capabilities of a growing full service law firm.
The acquisition further strengthens Danaher Moulton’s position as a trusted adviser to high net worth families and privately owned businesses across their corporate, commercial, property, estate planning and succession needs.
Importantly, the acquisition also sees Danaher Moulton become the custodian of more than 100,000 deed packets and safe custody documents. Behind each of those documents is a family, a business or an individual who has placed their trust in their lawyers to protect some of their most important legal affairs. We are honoured to continue that responsibility.
We are delighted to welcome Howard Jones and Gareth Jones to Danaher Moulton and look forward to working together to support clients, referrers and future generations for many years to come.
