About

BTLawyers is a fast growing Queensland law firm of bold, balanced and brilliant thinkers. We represent insurers, businesses and government departments and act for many of Australia’s leading businesses providing quality solutions, service and commitment.

Our clients tell us that they know we’re always in their corner. And we are – we genuinely always have their best interests at heart, because we’re passionate about what we do. We like to think adventurously but act carefully, always striving to get our clients the best outcome possible while delivering real value for money.

Founded in 2002

Bruce Thomas started BTLawyers 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 a fixed fee pricing model to give clients peace of mind when it comes to their legal spend. So he left the big firms and started out on his own, specialising in insurance and workers’ compensation law.

17 years on, our insurance and workers’ compensation business has been expanded to encompass workplace, business disputes and debt recovery. Our reach now goes well beyond Queensland to clients based in all states of Australia, with some of the most complex legal issues.

BTLawyers has a proven record of performance to substantiate its claims of superior performance – especially in the area of Workers’ Compensation.

BTLawyers has a strong presence on Doyles Guide that confirms we are well-respected by our colleagues and competitors. Our achievements include:

Why do I choose for matters to go to BTLawyers? Because the standard of the work is really good. They are led by a very, very knowledgeable lawyer.

Trish, RSL Care

Kerrie is personable and has always been available. I can bounce things off her which is really important in the early identification of risk before it turns into risk. I see Kerrie as clear, concise and succinct, and that’s good.
