Swanwick Murray Roche is an integral part of the legal fabric of Central Queensland having operated in the region for over 120 years.
The firm name continues to acknowledge three early principals of the practice and reflects the continuity of our involvement in the development of Central Queensland.
In 1892 a young solicitor, Fredrick Howard Swanwick, moved from Brisbane to Rockhampton to assume the files of the late solicitor Robert Lyons. Swanwick expanded the practice with a second office based in the Clermont Goldfields. His areas of work included general commercial, personal estate and workers’ compensation matters.
Meanwhile, in 1899, James Darling Murray established a legal practice in the booming gold town of Mount Morgan. Through the period of growth and consolidation of the original Mount Morgan mine, Murray successfully acted for local government and mining companies. He also represented individuals in family law and personal estate matters.
