Butler McDermott Lawyers
Trusted legal expertise for moments that matter
Butler McDermott Lawyers has long been a pillar of the Sunshine Coast hinterland’s legal community. Under the leadership of Directors Al Upton and Brent King, and with the ongoing involvement of esteemed consultant Peter Boyce, the firm continues to provide expert, client-focused service across a wide range of legal areas.
Drawing on decades of experience in litigation, commercial, property and business law, Mr Upton and Mr King lead a team that turns complex legal issues into clear, successful outcomes. Their attention to detail and ability to navigate nuanced matters ensure clients receive strong advocacy and practical advice at every stage.
The firm’s strength lies not just in its leadership but in its team of 12 solicitors, each supported by experienced staff and focused on specific areas of law. This depth enables Butler McDermott to deliver tailored solutions—whether drafting legal arguments, preparing court submissions, or representing clients in hearings.
Beyond its legal work, the firm is deeply engaged with the community. From sponsoring local events to supporting schools, charities, and sports clubs, their involvement reflects a long-standing commitment to giving back. “With Butler McDermott Lawyers, you gain more than just legal representation; you become part of a trusted partnership that has stood the test of time,” said Mr King.
That trust is reinforced by the firm’s proven track record. Since 1913, Butler McDermott Lawyers has handled landmark cases that have shaped the region—from the Daniel Morcombe disappearance to the Traveston Dam project and countless land resumptions.
“Over the years, our commitment to serving clients with unwavering dedication has remained unchanged,” said Mr Upton. “Our motto is ‘For moments that matter’ because that’s exactly when we’ll be there.” Whether assisting individuals with day-today matters or advising on multi-milliondollar commercial transactions, the firm offers expertise across estate law, personal injury litigation, criminal defence, family law, and more. Their comprehensive approach makes them a one-stop legal resource for clients throughout the Sunshine Coast and hinterland.
Consultant Peter Boyce said advocacy remains the heart of the firm. “When the chips are down and the future’s uncertain, you want to know someone is in your corner. That’s what we do—we fight for our clients,” he said.
Butler McDermott Lawyers continues to grow while remaining grounded in its values of excellence, integrity, and service. With over a century of legal experience and a reputation built on results, the firm remains the go-to for trusted legal support in the region.
