Welcome to Gleeson Lawyers
Gleeson Lawyers is a boutique specialist practice.
Based in the Brisbane CBD and conveniently located next to the Queen Street Mall, Gleeson Lawyers specialises in Succession Law and also practises in Criminal Law.
At Gleeson Lawyers we are acutely aware, that every person irrespective of age, occupation, marital status or wealth should have a personal succession plan and, at the very least, a Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and Advance Health Directive.
We are firm believers of "Success in Succession". This not only applies to your personal succession planning, but also to your business succession planning if you wish to leave your business to a family member who's active in the business; or whether you simply wish to retire and receive the maximum amount for your business; or ensure there is sufficient money to buy out a surviving partner.
Gleeson Lawyers appreciates that your inheritance, whether it be the inheritance you leave behind or the inheritance you receive from a loved one, can often be your biggest asset, so protecting your inheritance should always be of paramount importance in successful succession planning.
