P# & E# Law

They have diverse backgrounds outside of law, enabling them to view problems from different perspectives. We encourage hard work and rest equally. We want each of us to do the things we love outside of work so that when we are at work, we are at our best. Our support staff are highly experienced, competent and thoughtful, providing great service and efficiency.

We help landholders throughout Queensland in all types of compulsory acquisition and resumption matters. From road widening projects to major infrastructure developments, we work with landholders to understand the value of the affected land and ensure fair compensation as a consequence of the acquisition.

Environmental laws are a complex, integrated and dynamic system - a bit like the environment itself. We provide advice about all matters under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth), Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld), Vegetation Management Act 1999 (Qld), Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld), Water Act 2000 (Qld), and a raft of related legislation.

We provide advice to local governments in relation to all governance issues, including rates and charges, tendering, local laws, waste, water and sewerage, roads and other infrastructure, powers of entry and enforcement. Our services include drafting, providing training services and conducting prosecutions in the Magistrates Court.

Our work covers many areas: native title claims, exploration and mining agreements, corporate governance, trust management (in association with tax and financial advisers), national park joint management, as well as leasing and otherwise dealing with land trust and native title lands. We help develop and implement native title and cultural heritage agreements.
