A boutique firm built on judgement, not headcount.

Our approach

Most law firms are structured as pyramids. A partner brings in the work and senior associates, junior solicitors and paralegals do most of the actual lawyering. It is efficient — for the firm.

We do it differently. Our work is run by senior litigation lawyers. The lawyer you meet at your first consultation is the lawyer who drafts your statement, briefs the barrister and stands beside you at mediation. You are not handed down. You do not have to re-explain your matter to a new face every three months.

This model means we take on fewer matters than a high-volume firm. It also means our clients tend to stay with us, and tend to send their family and friends.

What we are known for

Macquarie Legal has many years of experience in personal injury, insurance and commercial litigation, in courts and tribunals at every level. Our work ranges from a sensitive estate dispute between siblings, to a complex insurance disclaimer dispute, to a contested personal injury trial. Across all of it, the constants are the same: prompt advice, honest assessment, and steady advocacy.

How we work with you

We try to make a stressful process feel manageable. That means:

• Returning calls and emails the same business day, wherever possible.
• Explaining what's happening, why, and what we recommend — in plain English.
• Giving you a realistic view of the likely outcome and likely cost before you commit.
• Meeting you where it suits you — Brisbane, phone, video, or by arrangement, at your home.
