Harrisonslaw has been operating as a legal office in the Margate area since 1984. Our origins lie in a number of previous Margate law firms including Gail McDougall & Assoc, Gill & Lane and B J Holloway & Co. We originally operated from 20 Baynes Street but moved to the current location at 243 Oxley Avenue in 1999.We have a long history of acting for families and businesses from the local and surrounding areas but welcome instructions from anywhere in our areas of expertise.
The law has become increasingly complex and diverse in recent years. As a consequence, many suburban firms like ours have steadily decreased the areas of work undertaken in order to be better placed to serve clients. For example, our firm has not conducted personal injury, family law or criminal litigation for many years. In early 2010 we made a decision to move towards an even more specialised practice. To that end we have ceased accepting instructions in general litigation matters to allow us to concentrate on two broad types of worknamely:
Wills & Estates
Working with clients in planning their estates and succession issues,assisting in the administration of deceased estates and dealing with disputes and litigation in this area. To assist with this all lawyers at the firm are currently undertaking Specialist Accreditation in Succession Law with the Queensland Law Society.
Property/Commercial
Working with clients regarding residential and commercial property and business issues.
