The Brand
Enterprise Legal was co-founded in 2017 by current owner and Managing Director, Peta Gray. In a local market saturated by traditional law firms, Peta felt like the majority of lawyers were simply ‘going through the motions’ and doing things ‘the way that they had always been done’ for no other reason than simply that. She felt that clients, especially those located outside of the capital cities, deserved better from their lawyers and she set about starting Enterprise Legal with the audacious goal of ‘doing the law better’. From its inception, Enterprise Legal has offered specialised Business, Property and Disputes legal services of the highest quality, with a focus on delivering practical and commercially-savvy outcome for it clients. We are proudly Toowoomba\'s most highly-awarded Firm.
The Location
