About Us

Morgan Conley is a well-established boutique law firm located in the Brisbane CBD with a thriving commercial, litigation and insolvency practice. We operate a collaborative practice, and you will have the opportunity to work with and learn from each of our four experienced directors.

We are conveniently located in 239 George Street, with easy access to Queen Street Mall and public transport. The building includes recently renovated end-of-trip facilities including showers, lockers and secure bike racks.

About the role
