Lawyers & Paralegals - Expressions of Interest Sought The Better Lawyers Group offers a home and support network for innovative law firms and lawyers who strive to push beyond outdated practices and redefine what's possible in the legal profession. By drawing on the shared expertise and resources of the members of the Better Lawyers Group, our firms provide a consistently excellent ('better', if you will) experience for clients, across all legal disciplines.
Founded by award-winning business lawyer, Peta Gray, in July 2024, the firms within the Better Lawyers Group all share the same ethos of striving for continuous improvement and a shared passion for redefining what's possible in the legal profession throughout Australia. Better Lawyers Group is committed to making a positive impact on both client and staff experiences, championing modern, innovative practices, and fostering an outcome-focused culture amongst staff.
There are two Foundation Firms currently operating under the Better Lawyers Group - Enterprise Legal and Donaldson Law:
Enterprise Legal was co-founded in 2017 by current owner and Managing Director, Peta Gray. In a local market saturated by traditional law firms, Peta felt like the majority of lawyers were simply 'going through the motions' and doing things 'the way that they had always been done' for no other reason than simply that. She felt that clients, especially those located outside of the capital cities, deserved better from their lawyers and she set about starting Enterprise Legal with the audacious goal of 'doing the law better'. From its inception, Enterprise Legal has offered specialised Business, Property and Disputes legal services of the highest quality, with a focus on delivering practical and commercially-savvy outcomes for its clients. We are proudly Toowoomba's most highly-awarded Firm, despite only being seven years young. Don't just take our word for it - check out our awards here - our awards .
Donaldson Law is Australia's leading trauma-informed personal injuries law firm, with an incredible team of industry-leading lawyers and paralegals who have over 40 years of combined legal experience. Established by award-winning lawyer, Adair Donaldson, Donaldson Law has set the gold standard in providing trauma-informed legal services to some of Australia's most vulnerable people since commencing operation in 2016. Donaldson Law understands that clients who have suffered trauma need more than just a day in Court and a financial settlement; they need an outcome that is meaningful to them. Donaldson Law was acquired by the Better Lawyers Group as a founding brand in July 2024.
