Servicing the Nambour and wider Sunshine Coast region of Queensland for over 100 years, Butler McDermott Lawyers is growing again, taking the next step into the future of legal practice.

Beginning in the early 1900s, this prestigious legal firm has supported thousands of Australians to achieve fair and just case outcomes, managing many different types of disputes. 

Butler McDermott’s legendary Peter Boyce joined in 1977, working since then to provide unparalleled legal counsel and support. Now the firm is entering a new era, with Al Upton and Brent King appointed as directors under Boyce’s ongoing consultancy.

Al Upton has been part of the Butler McDermott team since completing his tertiary studies and has successfully litigated a variety of disputes in the Supreme and District Courts of Queensland on behalf of his clients.

Upton is a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society, as well as the Queensland Law Society and the Sunshine Coast Law Association. He has vast experience in managing wills and estates, in addition to working across commercial and property matters and general litigation. 

As director, Upton will bring a wealth of legal knowledge to Butler McDermott’s Queensland-based clients and will be able to support many claims through the courts.

Alongside Upton, Brent King has supported Butler McDermott clients across a broad range of litigation claims, including defamation cases, contract disputes, planning matters, criminal law, and more. 

King’s experience has allowed him to develop a commercial approach to litigation, which he uses to provide expert guidance for his clients. He is a member of the Queensland Law Society and the Sunshine Coast Law Association.

As director at Butler McDermott, King specialises in litigation law, working across the Magistrates, Districts, and Supreme Courts to achieve positive case outcomes.

Adding to a long and esteemed history, the new generation of Butler McDermott lawyers is expected to provide a valuable forward focus for the firm. 

Clients will continue to be provided with access to advanced legal knowledge and advice, while the new directors continue to receive ongoing counsel and support from the learned Boyce, whose 40-year career has included a variety of newsworthy and highly complex claims and disputes. 

As one of the oldest legal firms on the Sunshine Coast, Butler McDermott Lawyers plans to continue the important work it has been responsible for since 1913. 

Legal clients can expect ongoing trust and professionalism as they seek support to navigate legal issues confidently and productively, on the Sunshine Coast and across the state.
