Allens Arthur Robinson

The roots of this Allens Arthur Robinson office go back to 1846, when Robert Little, a lifetime friend of George Wigram Allen, son of the founding Allen, settled in Brisbane and created a law firm.

As Feez Ruthning, the firm became one of Brisbane's leading commercial legal practices, merging with Allens in 1996.

Our Brisbane office has a particularly strong basis in natural resources, infrastructure, property development and corporate work, and a powerful track record in advising the State Government.
