About

Our Chambers are located in Mianjin (Brisbane) as are the courts in which we appear most often. We acknowledge traditional owners, the Turrbal and Jagera people, and pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge that the traditional lands of the Turrbal and Jagera people were taken unjustly and we recognise the ongoing and critical importance of reconciliation and redress for past wrongs for them and for all First Nations peoples.
