Aitken Partners Achieves Top Recognition in Health & Aged Care Law

22 April 2026

We are pleased to share that Aitken Partners has been recognised in Doyle’s Guide 2026 for Health & Aged Care Law, reflecting the strength of the firm’s work in this important and highly specialised area.

Principal Lawyer Ric Birkett is also recognised as a Preeminent Health & Aged Care Lawyer in Victoria. Ric has deep experience in Aged Care and Retirement Living, reflecting a strong and long-standing commitment to the sector. He also advises clients across family business, large commercial organisations and not-for-profits.

Aitken Partners has been recognised as a Second Tier Health & Aged Care Law Firm in Victoria, an acknowledgement of our dedication to practical, outcomes-driven legal support and the depth of experience within our team.

While we always aim to deliver First Tier advice and service for our clients, this recognition is a strong endorsement of our broader firm, which now has over 100 staff across Melbourne and an expanding presence in Brisbane. We are large enough to offer depth across multiple practice areas, while still being small enough to provide direct, focused attention and trusted advice on each client’s matter.

Aitken Partners advises a broad range of clients connected to the health and aged care sector, with a strong understanding of the legal, operational and strategic issues that arise in these areas. Our team is focused on helping clients navigate complex matters with clarity, confidence and commercially grounded advice.

This acknowledgement reinforces Aitken Partners’ reputation for thoughtful, high-quality legal support and our continued focus on protecting what matters so that our clients can live better lives.
