About David

David Brown brings a wealth of legal experience, having been admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland since 1978. With a robust foundation in commercial and property law, David has developed a well-rounded expertise that extends to commercial litigation, estate planning, and estate litigation. David offers comprehensive legal advice on a range of matters, including the sale and purchase of businesses, property development, commercial property transactions, and leasing arrangements. He is also well-versed in general commercial litigation and has a unique interest in sports law. His thorough understanding of these areas is reflected in his representation of numerous property developers and commercial landlords. Throughout his distinguished career, David has been instrumental in the sale and acquisition of many key commercial properties, particularly within the Gold Coast region and broader Queensland. His litigation experience is notable, having been involved in significant court actions that have influenced legal precedents at both the Court of Appeal and the High Court. Before relocating to the Gold Coast in 1986, David served as a partner in a Brisbane City firm. His move led to a significant role in an established local firm, contributing to its transformation into Brown & Fowler, before its eventual merger with ABKJ in 2000. David's career trajectory showcases his commitment to providing high-calibre legal services and his capacity to navigate complex commercial landscapes effectively.
