What CLO Lawyers does

CLO Lawyers is a Queensland-based law firm headquartered in Toowoomba with additional offices in Brisbane and Millmerran, operating under the legal entity CLO Lawyers Pty Ltd. It delivers advisory and representation services across five core practice areas: Family Law (divorce, separation, child custody, property settlements, domestic violence, mediation, collaborative law), Wills and Estate Planning (wills, enduring power of attorney, advance health directives, testamentary trust wills, probate, farm succession planning), Wills and Estate Disputes (will validity challenges, family provision claims), Property Law (commercial and rural conveyancing, granny flat agreements, retirement village matters), and Commercial and Business Law (structuring, asset protection, sales, purchases, leasing, mergers and acquisitions, succession planning). The firm serves individuals, families, and small-to-medium businesses across Queensland, with the primary persona being individuals and families navigating relationship breakdown, estate administration, and property transactions.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model in which revenue is generated primarily through hourly professional fees, supplemented by fixed-fee initial confidential appointments for family law matters and disclosed cost ranges for probate matters (Supreme Court filing fees typically $800-$1,500, advertising costs $300-$500). Distribution is conducted through three physical offices, phone and email enquiry channels, and an online enquiry form on the firm website, with no third-party resellers. The firm has invested in digital marketing across Google Ads, Meta, SEO, and organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), and is supported by approved AI-assisted tools for internal work and legal service delivery. Notable commercial relationships include a JustFund partnership that offers clients legal fee funding for family law matters and a Millmerran co-location with Horizon Accounting Group that supports cross-referrals. The firm's brand is anchored by over 500 five-star Google reviews and a stated commitment to plain-language communication and fee transparency.

Revenue model

1. Legal Services - Professional Fees: CLO Lawyers generates revenue primarily through professional legal fees charged for legal services across family law, wills and estate planning, wills and estate disputes, property law, and commercial and business law. Fees are charged on an hourly basis for most matters, with fixed-fee initial appointments offered for family law consultations. Estate administration services include Supreme Court filing fees (typically $800 to $1,500 depending on estate value), advertising costs ($300 to $500), and legal fees based on complexity.
2. Legal Fee Funding Partnership (JustFund): CLO Lawyers recommends JustFund to clients as a flexible funding solution to pay family law legal fees, providing clients with payment plan options for legal costs. This is a referral/partnership arrangement rather than a direct revenue stream for CLO Lawyers.
