Who’s behind Opus?
Opus Workspaces is a subsidiary of Barristers’ Chambers Limited (BCL) and was acquired in March 2018. BCL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Victorian Bar and its purpose is to be the home of the Bar, open to all.
BCL’s initial objective was to provide accommodation to barristers without the financial impediments found in other states. BCL’s ability to offer affordable and well-located chambers encouraged a diverse range of individuals to pursue a career in law, not just those from wealth.
Since that time, BCL has grown and now provides chambers for barristers across seven locations in the Melbourne CBD legal precinct. Coupled with a suite of integrated service solutions including IT and Telecommunications, Facilities Management, Practice Support Services and a Business Centre, BCL provides a full range of services to the Victorian Bar.
BCL is already a major tenant at 200 Queen Street where Opus Workspaces is located, providing chambers to barristers across 15 floors in the building for over ten years.
