About the Firm

We're Not Building
a Big Firm.
We're Building
the Right One.

Boss Lawyers is a boutique commercial litigation and insolvency firm based at Level 27, Santos Place. We act on serious matters — director disputes, complex insolvency, shareholder conflicts, high-stakes commercial litigation.


We have 17+ years of experience, 3,000+ clients, and a reputation as tough, commercially sharp litigators. What we don't have is the political nonsense, the layers of bureaucracy, or the hand-off culture that makes life at a big firm grim.


When you join Boss, you work. You get responsibility. You get direct access to the principal. And you grow — fast.

There's a difference between showing up and standing out. Between doing the work and owning it. Between a job and a career that people actually remember.

Why It's Different Here

Boss Lawyers
vs. Everywhere Else.

We know what it's like to work somewhere that doesn't value your time. Here's how Boss is different.

At most commercial firms
At Boss Lawyers
✗  Interesting work goes to the seniors. You get the overflow.
Interesting work starts on day one. You handle it — all the way through.
✗  You shadow someone for six months before seeing a client.
Direct client contact from week one. Supervised, but not sheltered.
✗  Your supervising partner knows your name (eventually).
You work with Mark Harley directly. He's accessible, invested, and available.
✗  Billing targets above everything. Hours, not outcomes.
Results matter more than timesheets. We do great work — not just long hours.
✗  150 people. Nobody really notices what you do.
Small team. Your work is visible. Your contribution matters.
✗  Politics, posturing, and internal competition.
No time for it. No appetite for it. Just focus on the work.
✗  A firm that peaked in 2008.
A firm that's actively growing. Join now — grow with us.
Life at Boss

What to Expect
When You Join.

Real Work. Real Fast.

You won't wait. The matters are live from day one — Supreme Court, Federal Court, QCAT, insolvency appointments. No busywork, no busying-yourself-until-the-seniors-are-free.

A Principal Who Shows Up

Mark Harley is accessible, interested in your development, and in the building. Not a name on a letterhead. Not someone you email through his EA. Someone who actually answers your questions.

Competitive Remuneration

We pay for talent. If you're good, we want you — and we'll make it worth your while. Salary is negotiable based on experience and what you bring to the team.

Brisbane CBD. Level 27.

Santos Place is one of Brisbane's most prestigious office addresses. You'll be proud of where you work — and so will your clients when they come to see you.

No Ego. No Politics.

We're a tight team with high standards and zero tolerance for the kind of internal posturing that makes big firms miserable. Just focus on doing great work.

A Firm on the Move

Boss Lawyers is growing. The people who join now are the people who'll help build what we become. That's an opportunity — not just a job description.

Think You Belong Here?

Serious commercial law. No nonsense. A firm that rewards ambition, expertise, and the kind of work ethic that doesn't need managing.
