Family law
Separation, parenting arrangements and property settlements, handled calmly and without the jargon.
BRISBANE AND SOUTH-EAST QUEENSLAND
Clear advice.
Straight answers.
We're a Brisbane firm of six helping families and small businesses with the legal side of life: separating, buying a home, planning an estate, running a business or recovering from an injury. Your first call is free, and you'll know where you stand by the end of it.
How we can help
Six areas of law, one way of working: plain language, fixed fees where we can, and a solicitor who knows your file.
Wills and estates
Wills, enduring powers of attorney and estate administration, done properly the first time.
Property and conveyancing
Buying, selling and leasing, with the contract checked before you sign and settlement managed to the day.
Commercial and business law
Contracts, structures and disputes for owners who'd rather be running the business than reading the fine print.
Personal injury
Car accidents, workplace injuries and public liability claims, with honest advice about whether a claim is worth making.
Litigation and disputes
A straight read on your options before money is spent on court, and a firm hand if it comes to that.
How it works
Tell us what's going on
Send an enquiry or call us. A few sentences is enough, and anything you tell us stays confidential.
A free 15‑minute call
A solicitor calls you, usually the same or next business day, to understand your situation and explain your options.
A clear plan and a quote
If we can help, you get a written plan and a fee estimate before you commit to anything. If we can't, we'll point you to someone who can.
Local, practical, and easy to reach
We're a firm of six in the Brisbane CBD, built on the idea that good legal advice shouldn't feel like a foreign language. The solicitor you meet at the start is the one who runs your matter, and you can reach them directly.
We quote fixed fees wherever the work allows, and give you a written estimate where it doesn't, so you know what you're committing to before we start.
