Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure where to start? These are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn't here, call our Redcliffe or Aspley office — we're happy to help.
What does No Win No Fee mean for personal injury claims?
No Win No Fee means GKS Law covers your legal costs during your case. If we don't win, you owe us nothing. If we succeed, our legal fees are paid from your compensation. You are never out of pocket to pursue your injury claim.
How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
The best way to find out is through our free Claim Check. If you were injured through someone else's negligence — whether in a car accident, at work, or on public property — you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us and we'll assess your situation at no cost.
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in Queensland?
Generally three years from the date of your injury, though some claims have shorter limitation periods. If you have been injured, it's important to seek advice as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Do I need a will if I'm young or don't have many assets?
Yes. A will ensures your wishes are followed regardless of the size of your estate. It also appoints a guardian for any minor children. Without a will, Queensland's intestacy laws determine how your estate is distributed — which may not reflect your wishes.
What does conveyancing include and what will it cost?
Conveyancing covers all legal steps in buying or selling property: contract review, property searches, preparation of transfer documents, and settlement. GKS Law offers fixed-fee conveyancing so you know the cost upfront. Contact us for an obligation-free quote specific to your transaction.
How long does conveyancing take in Queensland?
A standard residential conveyancing transaction in Queensland typically takes 30 to 60 days from contract to settlement, depending on the agreed settlement date and any conditions in the contract.
What should I look for before signing a commercial lease?
Key issues include rent and outgoings obligations, permitted use, make-good clauses, options to renew, and personal guarantees. Having GKS Law review your lease before signing can prevent costly disputes and protect your business interests.
Can GKS Law help me buy or sell a business?
Yes. We advise on the full process — from heads of agreement and due diligence through to the final business sale contract. We work to protect your interests and ensure the transaction completes smoothly.
What is the difference between mediation and going to court?
Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral mediator helps both parties reach a negotiated settlement — it's faster, cheaper, and less adversarial than court proceedings. GKS Law always explores mediation and negotiation first, only proceeding to court when necessary.
