Gouldson Legal

About us

At Gouldson Legal, our mission is to provide exceptional legal services to Queenslanders, guiding them through the complex legal process with clarity and compassion. We’ve helped tens of thousands of clients over 25 years, taking a highly personalised approach tailored to each individual. We offer a No Win, No Fee guarantee, as well as a competitive 30% fee cap so that our clients receive the bulk of their settlement. Gouldson Legal is dedicated to understanding each client’s specific situation so they feel informed and empowered at every stage of their legal journey. This commitment is reflected in our practice of assigning one lawyer and one legal assistant to each case, ensuring consistent, personal communication. We’re always transparent, offering honest, straightforward advice at every step of the process. Under the leadership of Director Faran Gouldson, we focus on representing the individuals behind each case, ensuring their voices are heard amid an often overwhelming legal landscape. Faran’s career, beginning in 1991 alongside Kerry Shine and evolving through the founding of Shine Gouldson Lawyers in 1999, demonstrates a steadfast commitment to client‑centred service. When Kerry Shine transitioned to a parliamentary role in 2004, Faran rebranded the firm as Gouldson Legal, maintaining a strong focus on providing compassionate and meticulous legal services on a No Win, No Fee basis. Every case is evaluated through the collective expertise of our team, including direct involvement from our Director. We understand the financial pressures that often accompany legal proceedings, which is why we provide caring financial guidance to help clients manage these challenges without compromising the value of their claims. Our approach goes beyond legal representation, fostering an environment of understanding and respect. This ethos is the cornerstone of our practice, enabling us to deliver not only successful legal outcomes but also a supportive and empowering experience.
