the practice

 

 

B O E L A W Y E R S is a specialist law practice.  Our focus is on the criminal law.  We are independent and fearlessly committed to protecting and advancing the interests of our clients.  We operate nationally.  

 

We are experienced and qualified. In 2005, Andrew Boe was accredited as a criminal law specialist by the Queensland Law Society and served on its inaugural criminal law specialist accreditation committee. Our lawyers have also conducted significant cases involving administrative law principles and we have a particular interest in indigenous law issues.  We routinely collaborate with external specialists and experts – including leading senior counsel, academics, forensic psychiatrists, pathologists, accountants and other experts from throughout Australia  – to provide focused, comprehensive and tailored representation in these practice areas. 

We have a particular interest in the appellate review of cases.  To achieve individual justice 'the system' must sometimes yield and the law must be tested and sometimes reshaped.   We have been involved in some notable cases which demonstrate our innovation and capacity to look beyond what might appear to others to be settled limits. 

We believe in the ideal of equal justice and its practical availability.  We seek to act accordingly.   We have been sought out by the privileged and powerful; we have at times supported the poor and disenfranchised but mostly we have provided assistance to 'ordinary people' when they face the extraordinary circumstances which exist within the criminal justice system. We understand the need for subtlety, flexibility and discretion.

 

We have links with the Lawyers information Network, the International Commission of Jurists and Australian Lawyers for Human Rights

The practice promotes and supports the education of young lawyers.  A leading Australian university law school focused on one of our lawyers in its advertising promotions in 2002 and 2004.
