Litigation Lawyer - Sarah Davies Legal Pty Ltd

Sarah Davies Legal Pty Ltd is a boutique practice which assists corporate and business clients with risk management issues and the resolution of commercial disputes.

I have been practicing as a litigation lawyer for about 31 years. I am a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist in Commercial Litigation, having received the highest achiever award when I completed my accreditation in 2010.

I assist business and corporate clients to identify and manage risks and to resolve disputes that arise in the course of their business. I also act for families and individuals in relation to commercial disputes, land resumption, contested wills and estate disputes.

I was previously a litigation partner with a number of Brisbane based law firms, including McMahon Clarke and more recently ClarkeKann Legal. I can provide specialized advice to clients on a one-to-one basis with reasonable and flexible fee arrangements.

I act for clients from across industry groups, but I have a particular focus on – 

  • Commercial property ownership and real estate developments
  • Agribusiness
  • Funds management and financial services; and
  • Building and construction.

My clients come from across SE Queensland (and sometimes farther afield). The majority are based in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Other Activities

I am a former member of the Queensland Law Society Specialist Accreditation Committee for Commercial Litigation, having served the maximum term. This is the body that determines whether lawyers have met the criteria that enables them to claim to be specialists in commercial litigation.

For about 10 years, I was the Chair of the board of the Maleny Credit Union, and I oversaw the transfer of its banking business to Queensland Country Bank in 2021. The “old” credit union is in the process of transforming into a registered charity, MCU Communities Ltd, so that it can undertake educational, social and environmental projects for the Maleny community.
