Our History

Black Antelope Law was co-founded in 2018 by Barrister, Simao Paxi-Cato, and Solicitor, Shaheen Mamun, with the 3 key objectives:

Continuity – allowing our clients to start and finish their legal journey with us by bringing together the skills, experience and specialist expertise of the solicitors’ and barristers’ professions under one roof to provide clients with a single point of access for all their needs.

Integration – complex legal problems very rarely fit into one neat legal classification. By building and nurturing a collaboration focused team of lawyers, we are able to act as a coordinated team across all our service areas.

Innovation – tradition and traditional methods of practice should be subordinate to smarter solutions of delivering client outcomes without sacrificing user experience.

By meeting its key objectives, Black Antelope Law believes it will be able to deliver “Tomorrow’s Lawyers. Today.”

Since our founding, both individually and collectively, our people and the firm has consistently been recognised for excellence in our service delivery; contributions to the profession and industry more generally and our continued commitment to being a socially responsible and sustainable business.

We were the very first BSB Entity to be awarded the Certificate of Recognition by the Bar Council for our work and approach to mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and we continue to work with other organisations to share knowledge and best practise on creating a more diverse and inclusive profession.
