About Us

KHQ Lawyers offers a distinctive approach that combines the personalised service of a boutique firm with the expertise and rigour expected of a top-tier legal practice. Founded in 2006 by two experienced lawyers who recognised the need for more flexible, client-centred legal services, KHQ has developed a reputation for delivering timely, strategic advice tailored to meet the commercial realities and urgent needs of its clients. The firm’s origins lie in a desire to create a legal environment where clients are valued as individuals, not merely as billing units. This philosophy remains central to KHQ’s culture, which emphasises trust, responsiveness, and accountability. As the firm has grown, it has maintained these principles, attracting accomplished lawyers who share a commitment to clear communication, reliable service and strong professional relationships. KHQ’s practice spans a wide range of areas, enabling it to provide comprehensive solutions to both corporate and private clients. Its legal services cover commercial property and development, competition and regulatory compliance, construction and infrastructure, corporate and commercial law, data privacy and cyber security, family law, insolvency and restructuring, intellectual property, litigation and dispute resolution, private wealth, superannuation, tax and structuring, workplace relations and safety, among others. The firm also benefits from an alliance with DeHeng, facilitating cross-border matters involving China. Clients working with KHQ can expect technically excellent advice informed by sound judgement, delivered with commercial insight and clear communication. The firm prides itself on fostering enduring client relationships, ensuring each matter is managed with attention to detail and personalised care.
