Who we are

With 100+ years of combined experience, we’re committed to understanding your situation, providing honest advice, and seeing every matter through to resolution.

We’re a Brisbane commercial law firm working with a diverse range of clients, from individuals navigating legal challenges to business leaders seeking commercially focused advice and corporate organisations requiring ongoing legal counsel.

We understand legal matters can be challenging and complex. That’s why we work closely with our clients, providing tailored advice and practical solutions while remaining accessible whenever needed. We hold ourselves to that standard without exception.

Our story

Our directors—Rod O’Sullivan, John Sneddon, Richard Waring, Kimberley Forman, Patrick Sherlock and Vicky Stott—bring more than a century of combined legal experience to the firm and remain actively involved in client matters.

We believe in investing in our people and community. Our team brings together emerging practitioners and experienced lawyers, combining fresh perspectives with proven expertise to deliver the best outcomes for our clients.

We’re recognised in the Doyle’s Guide rankings for Queensland, an independent guide to leading law firms, and we’re part of Law Australasia, a national network of independent law firms. This gives our clients access to trusted referral relationships across the country.

Our philosophy

We’ve built our firm on a culture of trust, honest communication, and genuine care for the people and businesses we work with.

Our clients expect their lawyers to listen, understand their situation, remain accessible, and provide honest advice focused on the best possible outcome. We hold ourselves to these principles in every matter.

That means thinking ahead and anticipating potential roadblocks before they arise, feeling confident in complex situations as much as familiar ones, and offering flexible engagement options alongside transparent fee structures.
