About Us

QR Lawyers was established in 2009 by Michael Quinert and David Rodda. They formed a strong relationship while working together as part of a larger firm, during which time they found their niche specialising in corporate law.

Together, the duo shared and developed their vision of forming a legal practice with a difference. One that was smaller and more agile, without being tied to the cost structures and routines associated with a larger, full-service firm. The goal was to establish a practice that would allow them to focus on their key areas of specialty, without distraction.

A Strong Team

Over the past eleven years, QR Lawyers has grown to incorporate two further partners, Patrick Gowans, and Paul Godfrey.

Between us we are involved as directors and secretaries of ASX-listed companies and private corporations in a varied range of industries, including mining and exploration and software and technology businesses. Our people have also worked with a number of not-for-profit and charity organisations, including in the insolvency and the medical research and biotechnology industry, held management positions within the ASX and been involved in leadership positions in organisations which promote change and diversity in our practice areas

We take pride in our

Our four partners remain hands-on, and take great pride in the reputation the firm has developed for handing control back to its clients, thanks to its flexible approach, and for offering quality legal services that deliver on and exceed expectations.  Our partners also volunteer their time to support a number of charitable and non for profit organisations in order to have a positive social impact in our community and reflect our values as people and as a firm.

Our people advise and represent local, national and multinational clients across a broad range of industries, and in all Australian jurisdictions.
