Know Where You Stand On Your Legal Matter

What can't you do? 

For any legal work we don’t perform such as environmental, human resources, tax, company, etc., we can refer you to other legal firms which can assist you with your work.  

What happens when I engage your services?

In compliance with the Queensland Law Society’s strict requirements, we are clear and transparent about our legal fees when people or organisations consider engaging us to work on their matters.

The pre-engagement process starts off with you contacting us to tell us about your legal matter and you asking us whether we may be able to help you. At that stage, we’ll have a conversation to find out enough information for us to estimate whether or not we can help.

If we think we can help you, we’ll send you an engagement pack (containing an engagement letter, disclosure notice and costs agreement) which describes the scope of work we believe you want us to work on, our estimates of costs (depending on our assessment of your matter, some cost estimates may be based on time-based charges and others may be fixed fee) and our terms and conditions of engagement.

If we think we are unable to help you, we will refer you to one or several other law firms for you to consider approaching for help.

What makes you different?

In an environment that is ever changing, service remains the essential part of our business. Innovation and cutting edge technology are corner stones of Becker Watt Lawyers. We believe that technology can help us help you. But we never forget that our clients are always our first priority.

At Becker Watt we build long term relationships to become your Brisbane Solicitor.

We provide a wide range of services and have dedicated teams to the different areas of law we cover. Our Construction lawyer team consists of people who have worked within the industry and can provide a unique and practical view of you situation. Combined with the legal expertise you receive, Becker Watts should be the first Brisbane Solicitor you contact for all your legal matters. Our solicitors have a wealth of experience and have the empathy to help you deal with any situation that has or may arise.
