About Chancery Barristers
Chancery was formed in 2017 as a specialist virtual group of Brisbane barristers and mediators. Each member specialises in succession, equity and trusts, and private client law.

Mediation is central to succession, equity and trusts, and private client disputes. Andrew Fraser KC and Lee Nevison are Nationally Accredited Mediators, All of our barristers regularly appear as mediation advocates.
Our barristers formed a virtual chambers out of mutual respect for each other’s skill, experience and reputation as specialist advocates, advisers and mediators.
We can handle any contentious or advisory matter in our field. If your first choice of barrister is unavailable, or you are unsure whom to brief, we will refer you to a member of the group who can be relied on to provide the specialist advocacy and advice your matter requires.
Our members have chambers at Santos Place, 32 Turbot Street; 239 George Street; 400 George Street, Brisbane.
How to Brief
Our barristers accept instructions from solicitors in private or public practice, and from licensed trustee companies. We do not usually accept direct access briefs. Our barristers are always willing to discuss their briefing terms, including fees, timing and the contents of the brief.
