Profile

Paul was admitted to practice in 1987, having graduated from QUT with honours. Paul became a partner in 1997 in another Brisbane firm and in 2003, together with Jason Richards, formed Harding Richards Lawyers.

Paul’s more than 25 years as a lawyer means he has a wealth of experience in most facets of a commercial legal practice, including property (commercial and residential), business structuring and acquisitions, commercial and retail leasing, banking and finance.

The other area of Paul’s focus has been asset and estate planning.  This encompasses a wide range of issues from asset structuring and simple wills through to more complex testamentary trust wills.  Paul has also advised and acted extensively in deceased estates.

Paul’s knowledge and experience means that he is able to represent clients through all stages of their lives from wealth creation and protection to estate planning, succession and administration.  As a result Paul’s clients feel safe in the knowledge that he will always be able to assist them no matter what their needs may be.  Paul has grown the firm through referrals from other professionals and clients as well as repeat work which is a credit to his hard work and dedication to his clients.

Profile

Jason was admitted to practice in 1997, having graduated from James Cook University in 1997.  In 2001 he completed a Master of Laws at QUT and was made a partner in another Brisbane firm, before forming Harding Richards Lawyers with Paul Harding in 2003.

Jason’s expertise covers the full spectrum of commercial advice from the negotiating stages through to litigation.  His extensive litigation experience means that he takes a very thorough and practical approach to the negotiation and drafting of commercial documents.  His strong negotiating skills have led to successful outcomes in the brokering of commercial deals and the resolution of disputes.

Jason also heads the family law team and has considerable experience in all areas of family law and throughout all stages of the process from advising clients to negotiating settlement to court proceedings.  Jason has been involved in a number of cases that are extremely complex involving companies, businesses, trusts, commercial and residential property, shareholding portfolios and cash in the bank.  Jason’s knowledge and ability has seen this side of the firm grow considerably through referrals which is a testament to him and the rest of the family law team.
