From our Managing Director Matthew Rouse 

I am filled with gratitude for the continued trust and support of our clients and referrers. In the ever-evolving landscape of legal services, your loyalty to Rouse Lawyers does not go unnoticed. I recognise that in a market as competitive as ours, you have a plethora of options to choose from and yet you choose us. For this, I extend my utmost thanks.

The first quarter of 2024 has passed by in a whirlwind of activity here at the firm. It has been a period of rapid expansion fuelled by the increased volume and value of work entrusted to us by you. Since our inception over seventeen years ago, we have grown hand in hand with your evolving needs for expert legal support, both in front-end business services and commercial disputes.

Enhanced Specialist Expertise

To ensure that we continue to provide exceptional service in our specialist practice areas, we have made strategic senior additions to our team. Lucie Marsden (estate planning) and Christopher Andary (property and commercial) joined us in the second half of 2023 and since then we have welcomed several other new faces. Both Lucie and Chris are part of our Senior Leadership Team.

David McKewin, who leads our litigation team, now has the support of Yusuf Furgan and Cleopatra Jackson. Their expertise, gained from practising in specialist litigation firms, adds invaluable depth to our capabilities.

Likewise, Alexander Bowen has joined Chris in our property team, bringing with him experience from one of Queensland’s most prominent commercial law firms.

Bolstered Legal Support

Tiarne Beazley will be familiar to many of you as she has been the main point of contact for accounts and legal admin for over 7 years. Working with Tiarne in these respects, we are delighted to welcome Mirka Horakova-Moran to our team in a newly created Legal Secretary role. With her background in major international and top-tier national Australian firms, we are confident in her ability to provide you with exceptional personalised support when engaging with our Litigation and Estate Planning teams.

Optimising Operations and Services

As we continue to grow, we understand the imperative to reassess our processes and infrastructure to ensure that we deliver nothing short of excellence in our services to you. Tamara McCombe, with her extensive experience in business development and operations within the legal industry, will play a pivotal role in this endeavour. Please do not hesitate to reach out to her with any feedback or suggestions you may have regarding our services, communications and your customer experience.

Personalising and Maximising Client Services

The diversity of legal expertise that our new additions bring is testament to our commitment to providing you with the comprehensive and efficient legal solutions one expects of the biggest firm names but with the personalisation of a trusted advisor interested in your long-term success. This deliberate expansion underscores our dedication to serving you better, ensuring that Rouse Lawyers remains your trusted partner in your commercial legal matters.

As we forge ahead into the rest of the year, I want to reassure you that our commitment to your success remains unwavering. Thank you once again for choosing Rouse Lawyers as your legal partner.
