Twomey started on the Gold Coast in 2019 and it remains our home office. We are a disputes-only firm — we do not do conveyancing, wills drafting or general advisory work. What we do is act for Gold Coast businesses and individuals when something has gone wrong: a build has stalled, a customer won’t pay, a partnership has broken down, an estate is contested. Call 1300 286 578.
The Gold Coast building industry generates more disputes than any other sector we act in — payment claims, defective work, delays and contract arguments. QBCC complaints, QCAT proceedings and adjudication all run on short deadlines.
→ Construction dispute lawyers, Gold Coast
Unpaid invoices, statutory demands and recovery proceedings for Gold Coast businesses. A letter of demand is the cheapest first step and resolves a large share of debts on its own.
Unfair dismissal and general protections claims run to a 21-day deadline from the date of termination. We act for both employees and employers, though never both sides of the same matter.
Family provision claims, executor disputes and will challenges. Queensland requires notice within 6 months and a claim within 9 months of death.
Shareholder oppression, deadlocks, business separations and contract disputes between Gold Coast businesses.
→ Shareholder and partnership disputes
Concerns notices, online content removal and defending claims. The limitation period is one year from publication.
Because most disputes here are between parties who both operate here, and because the courts and tribunals that hear them are local. We appear in the Southport courts and in QCAT, and we know the builders, the developers and the insurers on the other side of most Gold Coast construction files. That is not a marketing line — it changes how quickly a matter can be assessed and settled.
We also act well beyond the Gold Coast, with offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, so an interstate counterparty is a logistical question rather than a reason to instruct someone else.
