The Queensland Law Society has appointed commercial and property lawyer Annette Bradfield as its new president.

Currently a partner of Fox Bradfield Lawyers, Bradfield has worked in large and small, rural and city firms throughout her career including Groom & Lavers, Minter Ellison, Barwicks Wisewoulds and Porter Davies. She is also a lecturer and mentor at Queensland University of Technology.

During her time as president Bradfield is eager to see the society’s service to members increase. “QLS exists to help members in their practice of law and this year my focus is on resilience, regional practice, women in law and revamping our products and services based on the results of recent member research,” she said. “One of the most important QLS values is that of service.”

The Law Society of Western Australia has also appointed a new president, barrister Craig Slater. He has more than 20 years of legal experience and is a barrister at Francis Burt Chambers.
