First Nations Legal & Research Services

First Nations Legal & Research Services ( previously Native Title Services Victoria) facilitates sustainable native title and land justice outcomes. In the wake of the 2002 High Court decision in Yorta Yorta v Victoria there was a common view that native title as a doctrine would have little application in Southern Australia. Since its formation in 2003, First Nations Legal & Research Services has proved this view wrong. Victoria now has five settlements/determinations of native title covering much of the crown land of the State. (picture: Yapenya!

BTLawyers

At BTLawyers, our clients know that we're always in their corner. We think adventurously but act carefully, always striving to get the best outcome possible. To us, being a leading firm is more than just a buzzword. In 2016, 2017 and 2018 we were named by Doyle's Guide as a Tier 1 Queensland Workers Compensation (Defendant) Law Firm, a leading Dust Diseases (Defendant) Law Firm, and several of our team have been named as Preeminent, Leading or Recommend Workers Compensation lawyers. BTLawyers was founded by Bruce Thomas in 2002. Having worked in big law firms, Bruce knew there was an opportunity to deliver a different, more personal experience for his clients – an experience based on trust, creative thinking, and cost certainty via a fixed fee pricing model. Over the last 15 years, our insurance and workers compensation business has grown and developed, and our service offerings have expanded to encompass workplace and family law, business disputes, and debt recovery. We act for many of Australia’s leading businesses in the retail, transport and logistics, manufacturing, property, agriculture, tourism, health and aged care, financial services and insurance sectors.
