Kelly Lawyers is a boutique Law firm located in the heart of Ascot on Racecourse Road, Brisbane Northside, built on four decades of trusted relationships, plain-English advice, and a genuine commitment to moving our clients forward. Founded by Greg Kelly in 1984, the firm is led today by Aleksandra Holland and Georgina Ponting as Principal and Legal Practitioner Directors.
Kelly Lawyers was founded by Greg Kelly in 1984 and from the very beginning, the firm was built around something that bigger practices often lose sight of: the belief that great legal work starts with genuinely knowing your client and understanding their individual objectives.
For decades, Greg led the firm with a focus on quality, integrity, and the kind of long-lasting client relationships that meant people came back; not because they had to, but because they trusted the people in their corner. In 1999, the firm relocated to Racecourse Road, Ascot, planting its roots firmly in North Brisbane’s community, where it has remained ever since.
In early 2023, Kelly Lawyers entered an exciting new chapter. Co-Principals Aleksandra Holland and Georgina Ponting took the helm, bringing fresh energy, modern practice, and a shared commitment to upholding the key components of the firm that Greg built. Greg’s legacy continues to resonate through the firm’s culture, values and the standards that clients have come to know and expect.
Today, Kelly Lawyers is a close-knit team of approachable, experienced lawyers who practice in Property and Conveyancing, Family Law, Wills and Estates, and Commercial Law. The faces have evolved but the unwavering commitment to providing exceptional legal services has not.
With Aleksandra Holland and Georgina Ponting at the helm, Kelly Lawyers is looking to the future; building on four decades of excellence while embracing the modern, innovative practice that today’s clients deserve.
Backed by a team of dedicated lawyers and support staff, we’re proud to be North Brisbane’s legal partner for life + property matters: A firm that you can trust and return to time and time again.
Each of our lawyers is admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland and hold current practising certificates issued by the Queensland Law Society. The firm holds professional indemnity insurance under the Queensland Law Society Professional Standards Scheme.
With consistent growth, we’re always looking for our next valued team member who shares our values and wants to be part of a supportive and collaborative culture. If you are interested in a role with our firm, please contact reception@kellylawyers.com.au with a copy of your resume and cover letter and one of our Principals will be in touch.

Kelly Lawyers have helped me for years, starting with my home purchase in Hamilton. They’re professional, easy to deal with, and the firm feels approachable. I’ve since used them for other property matters, as well as family, and wills and estate-related work. I’ve always felt supported and well guided through the process. Their advice is clear, they communicate well, and they make legal matters feel far more manageable.

Kelly Lawyers supported me through a separation and family law matter involving young children, and the difference for me was their approach. They were kind, clear, and aligned with my values from the first meeting. I was never left in the dark; the advice was practical. I’ve since used Kelly Lawyers for wills and power of attorney as well, and I recommend them to clients who ask for a family lawyer I genuinely trust.
Michael Kusnierz
Kelly Lawyers supported me through an extremely difficult period with calm, clear advice, and genuine care. They were professional, child-focused, and always responsive when I needed guidance. I valued the consistent communication, the smooth continuity within the team, and an approach that was practical and measured, not aggressive. I felt supported from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina and Alex to anyone who needs trusted family law support.
Leesa Stenfors
I stick with lawyers if I trust them, and I trust Alex and Kelly Lawyers implicitly. They are trustworthy and very open, and the team does what is required. If there are any hiccups, they get in touch, and if I want options, they give me those too.
Ian Smith
I’ve worked with Kelly Lawyers for decades and I trust them completely. They give practical, considered advice; they’ll tell you when not to fight something, and they consistently under promise and over deliver. Their advice protected me through the sale of my business and stood up when it mattered. I value the honesty, integrity and the way Alex stays involved and takes a considered approach, even in difficult situations
