Laurence Wilson

Larry brings more than 40 years of extensive experience to his role at Maven Lawyers, having joined the firm in February 2019. His career has encompassed both working as a sole practitioner and practicing with a range of law firms across the Gold Coast, providing him with a broad perspective on legal matters. His expertise spans Commercial Law, Property Law, Estate Planning, Will Disputes and Deceased Estates. Larry is particularly skilled at guiding clients through the complexities of Estate Law and Will Disputes, using his strong facilitation and communication abilities to ease what can often be a challenging process. Recognising the significant costs and delays frequently associated with court proceedings, Larry is committed to exploring alternative approaches that can bring about quicker and more cost-effective resolutions. He often collaborates with qualified experts such as mediators, barristers, financial advisors, share brokers and valuers to assist in the early stages of dispute resolution. This collaborative approach helps to quantify issues promptly and facilitates faster outcomes, which clients have noted significantly reduces the usual timeframe of two to five years often experienced in family financial disputes. For executors or family members seeking early advice regarding their rights or obligations under a Will, Larry provides clear and practical guidance. He understands the importance of considering the long-term impact of disputes on family relationships and works diligently to avoid unnecessary acrimony. His approach is focused on resolving conflicts in a manner that minimises personal damage and protects the parties involved, often preventing statements and disputes from escalating publicly. In recognition of the financial pressures that disputes can place on clients, Maven Lawyers, under Larry’s guidance, may agree to defer legal fees until a matter concludes, depending on the circumstances of the case. Larry is also committed to client care beyond the office environment, offering home visits or hospital consultations when required, ensuring clients receive personalised support during difficult times. Larry’s extensive knowledge and pragmatic approach make him a valuable member of the Maven Lawyers team, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients.
