About the practice
Legal advice with the bigger picture in view.
Capricorn Legal and Consulting combines legal practice with consulting and training to help clients respond to current issues and build systems that reduce future risk.
The philosophy
Good advice should leave you better informed.
Explain
Make the issue, the choices, and the consequences understandable.
Equip
Turn advice into documents, language, and systems that can be used in practice.
Prevent
Where possible, address the unclear expectations and weak processes that create repeat problems.
Practice background
A little more about the people behind the practice.
Capricorn Legal and Consulting is led by Justin French, a Queensland solicitor admitted in 2019 to the Supreme Court of Queensland and in 2020 to the High Court of Australia. His background spans legal practice, community legal services, academia, and consulting for businesses and not-for-profit organisations. He is also a Justice of the Peace (Qualified). The practice combines legal advice and representation with consulting and training — helping clients when disputes arise, and helping organisations build systems and practices that reduce future legal and compliance risk.
