Debts can be pursued in state local or magistrates courts, with statutory demands available against companies under the Corporations Act and creditor's petitions against individuals under the Bankruptcy Act.
Understand the next step
Identify the debtor’s legal name, the basis of the debt and whether it is disputed. Compare the practical cost of recovery with the amount and evidence available.
Obtaining a decision and successfully recovering money are different stages; ask about both.
In Brisbane CBD, compare the individual lawyer’s practice and the proposed scope of work. A commercial firm, family team and criminal defence practice may all be centrally located but provide very different services.
For debt recovery, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant QLD experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Brisbane CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Explain the transaction, amount involved, parties and desired result. Provide the current agreement and relevant entity or trust details.
Ask which risks need legal, accounting, tax or technical advice. Identify essential terms and those you are willing to negotiate.
Agree who negotiates, approves documents and tracks continuing obligations. Clarify whether post-completion advice is included.
Request a defined scope or staged budget with assumptions about document review and negotiation rounds. Personal guarantees, tax and related disputes may need separate work.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Highlight signing dates, finance conditions and demands. Raise an inability to meet debts immediately so appropriate advice can be identified before further commitments.
In Queensland, most matters start in the Magistrates Court, with serious criminal and larger civil matters in the District and Supreme Courts. Tenancy, minor civil, building and guardianship disputes go to QCAT. Solicitors hold practising certificates from the Queensland Law Society, and complaints are handled by the Legal Services Commission.
Good to know
A formal demand to a company for a debt; failure to pay or set it aside within 21 days creates a presumption of insolvency.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the District Court or the Supreme Court of Queensland. Family law matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Practising certificates in Queensland are managed by the Queensland Law Society. You can check a solicitor's status on its public register or by contacting it directly.
