The Firm

We are an inner-Brisbane boutique firm specialising in employment law.

Twenty years of private practice has seen a number of outstanding wins on behalf of clients.  However, our goal always remains listening closely to what our clients actually want and focusing on achieving that outcome for them. 

Our office is located at the Grange, with easy and free parking. We are close to public transport and shops. The firm culture is one of a tight-knit team who are passionate about justice. We are flexible and easy going while maintaining a professional and commercial attitude.
