2009<\/p>\n

empire group is born<\/h4>\n

2010<\/p>\n

Divisional expansion<\/h4>\n

In 2010 empire group diversified by opening the Corporate Division in addition to our Legal team.<\/p>\n\t\n \n

2011<\/p>\n

A new, national presence<\/h4>\n

Following early success, empire group had tripled in size by 2011. We expanded our then-Brisbane business to Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.<\/p>\n\t\n \n

2012<\/p>\n

empire group became known as the leading Legal Recruitment Agency in Australia with a stellar reputation for all aspects of legal recruitment.<\/p>\n\t\n \n

2015<\/p>\n

A challenging year<\/h4>\n

Our founder Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking six months out for her biggest personal battle, she is now cancer free and the empire group is proud to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation.<\/p>\n\t\n \n

2017<\/p>\n

Growth equals another new work home<\/h4>\n

Due to steady growth, our Brisbane team were on the hunt again for a new work home, which saw us move from Creek Street to 324 Queen Street to a bigger office ready for more people.<\/p>\n\t\n \n

2018<\/p>\n

People power, potential and passion<\/h4>\n

Having moved our headquarter offices to 324 Queen Street the year before (owing to our rapid expansion), 2018 was a milestone year for empire group, our most successful.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
