Our team has recently grown again — and with it, our shared commitment to delivering thoughtful, reliable legal services.

At W & G Lawyers, we believe strong legal service is built not only through experience and technical skill, but also through trust, communication, and collaboration within the team.

Each month, we make time to come together outside the office — to reflect on recent matters, discuss complex issues, and consider how we can continue to grow as a team. These shared moments help strengthen the judgement, teamwork, and trust that are essential to the way we work.

What we are building is more than a legal practice. We are building a team that clients can rely on for the long term.

When clients come to us, we do more than review documents. We help them think through the issues, understand the risks, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you are facing a commercial lease dispute, contract risk, business uncertainty, or simply need a professional legal perspective before making an important decision, our team is here to assist.

W & G Lawyers recently attended the InfoTrack Ready-Set-Go AML/CTF Roadshow in Brisbane, a national workshop designed to help legal professionals prepare for upcoming changes to Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. These reforms will expand existing compliance obligations to a broader range of professional services, including law firms.

While these changes primarily affect how legal practices operate behind the scenes, clients will notice some new procedures when engaging our services from 1 July 2026. This article explains what AML/CTF laws are, why they now apply to law firms, and exactly what to expect when working with us.

Blended families are increasingly common across Australia, yet they remain one of the most complex situations in estate planning. Where two people come together each with children from prior relationships, real property in various ownership structures, superannuation, insurance, and accumulated wealth — the stakes of getting an estate plan wrong are very high.

This article walks through the key issues every blended family should consider before meeting with a solicitor. It is general information only. Because every family’s situation is different, we strongly recommend obtaining independent legal advice tailored to your circumstances.

Across South East Queensland, a booming housing option is being marketed under a variety of appealing names: “over-50s resorts”, “lifestyle villages”, “land lease communities”, “active living estates”. The brochures promise resort-style facilities, community spirit, low maintenance living, and financial freedom in retirement.

What the brochures do not always make clear is the legal framework you are actually entering — and the significant long-term financial and legal obligations that come with it.

This article explains how these arrangements work, what the risks are, and why obtaining independent legal advice before signing is not just a good idea — it is essential.

A Warm Welcome into the Legal Profession

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at W & G Lawyers over the past 6 weeks. As this was my first experience working in a law firm, I was definitely a bit nervous walking in on my first day. However, those nerves quickly faded as I was welcomed into such a supportive and encouraging environment.

When a dispute arises — whether it involves unpaid debts, tenancy issues, consumer problems, dividing fences, or more complex matters — many people in Queensland need to decide where to take their case. The two primary options are the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) and the Queensland Courts (Magistrates, District, or Supreme Court).

Each forum serves a different purpose and has distinct procedures. Understanding the differences helps you choose the most appropriate path and manage the process effectively.
