Aitken Partners is set to become the Official Legal Services Partner of Melbourne Football Club, with the heritage legal firm signing on until at least 2027. 

Founded in 1923, Aitken Partners has a strong focus on being approachable, responsive and relationship-focused, pillars that have been built over a century of high-quality care and professionalism. 

The legal firm will have an important role supporting both the club’s elite AFL and AFLW programs. 

Melbourne Football Club CEO, Paul Guerra, welcomed Aitken Partners to the club. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Aitken Partners to our suite of high-quality partners and are excited by the opportunities of what we can achieve together,” Guerra said. 

“It’s a natural relationship, with both of our organisations built on heritage and shared values of trust, respect, and excellence at our core.” 

Dylan Burch, Principal at Aitken Partners, spoke warmly about the new relationship between the organisations. 

“Aitken Partners is proud to partner with Melbourne Football Club as its Legal Services Partner. As a firm with more than 100 years of history and a forward-thinking approach, we see strong alignment with a club that pairs deep heritage with a modern, progressive mindset,” Burch said. 

“The club’s supporter and partner base also aligns closely with our own client community, making this a natural and strategic fit and a partnership that reflects our commitment to being ‘legal partners for life’. We’re looking forward to building meaningful connections and supporting the club through this relationship.”
