BJT Legal has long been synonymous with Ballarat and the surrounding regions, from its foundation as a law practice by T.E. Byrne in 1928, to the evolution of Byrne, Jones and Torney with the next generation and then incorporation as BJT Legal Pty Ltd in the early 2000s.
We provide technical and professional in-depth advice whilst dedicating our personal attention to each client. We are fortunate to have a incredible team of people that help us to continue to deliver on that commitment to all clients.
Although our reach expands to clients both interstate and abroad, at its heart, BJT Legal has always been about the Ballarat community, not only by providing quality legal services and representation, but by also contributing to the local community as a consumer of local goods and services, financial sponsor and through in kind support and commitment of personal time.
The VRCA has conducted their first 2026 Business Health Survey for regional and rural Victoria. Regional Victorian businesses are not in a “soft patch”. Many operators are now in survival mode. Our concerns are not just cost pressures; it is that businesses are working harder than ever while increasingly questioning whether the effort is sustainable. 44% of business owners say they are not drawing a living wage. 65% of business owners say they sometimes or never have work life balance. Business owners are exhausted not entitled.
