Crown Law

Our legal services provide Solutions for Government

Crown Law is as old as Queensland itself, and we’ve been the principal provider of legal services to Queensland Government for over 150 years.

Working exclusively for Queensland Government, as a part of it, we don’t just understand their priorities and the environment in which it operates - we share them.

As one of the largest firms in the state, our extensive pool of experienced and talented lawyers both advise and represent our clients in all areas of law affecting the public sector and the State of Queensland. Our specialist legal teams work collaboratively with one another to deliver seamless client service encompassing a whole-of-Government perspective.

Working for Queensland

We have worked on some of the most significant projects for Queensland, and remain the sole provider of legal work in areas that are critical to the State’s public interest.

Our breadth and depth of experience, commitment to the needs of our clients, and our continuously growing range of value-added services are all important factors in providing solutions for government, both now and into the future.
