About us

You & The Law

You & The Law has been developed by Queensland Law Society to help you navigate your experience throughout the state.

Our goal is to help you find answers to your legal questions by providing you with access to easy to understand, practical information, resources, and support to assist you on your legal journey.

One of the key ways we do this is through the Find a Solicitor search tool. Finding the right solicitor to assist you with your specific circumstances is crucial to getting the right advice, but it can be hard to know where to start.

The Find a Solicitor search takes the stress out of this by providing you with access to over 4,000 solicitors across a range of specialist areas. All the solicitors that appear in the search are members of Queensland Law Society and are licensed to practise law in Queensland.

Ensuring Queenslanders have access to justice regardless of their situation is also central to our purpose. You & The Law provides a comprehensive list of government and community legal support services, as well as information about alternative dispute resolution providers.

Queensland Law Society 

Queensland Law Society (QLS) is the peak representative body for the legal profession in the state, providing leadership, guidance and support for more than 13,000 members, across all categories.

QLS holds specific statutory responsibilities under the Legal Profession Act 2007,  and operates as a co-regulator with the Legal Services Commission Queensland to set and enforce professional standards, license solicitors to practise, investigate complaints and administer discipline to ensure that both the community and the profession are properly served by ethical and responsible solicitors.

QLS empowers good lawyers, advocates for good law and serves the public good by providing a clear and passionate voice for solicitors and the legal profession in Queensland. We engage with government, the public and the legal community on issues of importance to the profession.
