A New Name. The Same Trusted Firm.

Gino Moro, Bill Ross, and Chris Barron are pleased to announce that long-standing Gold Coast firm Collas Moro Ross has been renamed Collas Moro Ross Barron.
"As we enter our 75th year of practice, this rebrand reflects the next chapter in our partnership and our legacy which we are proud to continue."

While the name has changed (slightly), what hasn't is the firm's commitment to its clients and the Gold Coast community it has proudly served since 1951. The team remains the same. The values remain the same. The dedication to providing expert, personalised legal solutions with integrity remains unchanged.

Founded in 1951 by war veteran Peter Collas and David Hill in Miles, Western Queensland, the firm established its first Gold Coast office in 1953. Over the decades, the firm has been shaped by its partners - Gino Moro, who retains his presence today after 50 years' service; Bill Ross, who started his articles under Peter Collas in 1980 and remains a partner; and Chris Barron, who was admitted to the partnership in 2022 after joining the firm in 2017.

Collas Moro Ross Barron continues to provide expert legal services across Litigation, Commercial Law, Insolvency, Property Law, Family Law, Wills and Estates, and Personal Injury.

Same firm. Same commitment. New chapter.

What is safe custody?

Collas Moro Ross are proud to offer safe custody services to our valued clients completely free of charge.

Safe custody is a service offered by law firms to securely store documents on their clients behalf. These documents might be wills, powers of attorney, title deeds, originals or other documents of an important or sensitive nature.

An advantage to utilising a law firm's safe custody service is the knowledge that your important documents (whatever they may be) are secure and will be available when they are required. For example- clients who store an enduring power of attorney in safe custody should feel confident that their family will be able to access and understand their health and financial wishes in the unfortunate event they were to suffer a disease like Alzheimer's and lose capacity to manage their own affairs.

But what happens if the law firm you store their safe custody with closes? Well, first of all, you're entitled to take your documents back- they're yours after all! However, more often than not retiring partners of a closing firm will recommend another solicitor who they trust to store their client's documents in safe custody. When this occurs clients may elect to transfer their safe custody documents from the closing firm to the safe custody service of the recommended firm.

Since 1951 Collas Moro Ross has been the proud custodian of our own clients safe custody documents, as well as the trusted recipients of at least 10 closed firm's safe custody documents. This year alone, over 1000 people will receive correspondence from retiring lawyers recommending our firm as the substitute guardian of their documents.

If we store documents on your behalf, a loved ones behalf, or if you are interested in our safe custody services we are available to discuss with any legal requirements & needs at any mutually convenient time and free of charge. Please call and ask to speak with our estate planning lawyer Kylie Bruce, or in her absence one of our partners Bill, Gino or Chris.

This year our firm was proud to partner with Colleges Rugby Club (AKA Knights) as sponsors for their 2023 season.

While Wallabies supporters brace themselves in trepidation as our nation approaches the Rugby World Cup, Knights fans were delighted by an extremely successful and entertaining season of park footy.

This season, all three open mens Knights teams made finals.

In first grade, the Phil Temperton Cup was claimed for a fourth consecutive year in a row in a spectacular extra-time-performance against Surfers Paradise.

In second grade, the Knights missed out on the Dr Tom Nutley Cup in a grueling grand final performance against Nerang, hard fought, and one that could have gone either way.

The mighty third-grade Knights powered into the Col McDonald Cup finals full-sail and thirsty as ever, though were unfortunately knocked out in dubious circumstances by a surprising Surfers Paradise third-grade(?) "finals-side."

More than just open men, the Knights contribute to the sport's grassroots development. They train and grow juniors, and also support women in the sport, with Knights women this year joining forces with other Clubs to form a merged team and compete in the women's comp.

Our firm is proud of our role in the local community. In addition to supporting park footy clubs, we are involved as committee officers/ honorary solicitors/ members (some life members) volunteers, and just plain-old-regulars of a wide range of local charities, not-for-profits, legal centres, commerce groups, sporting/ family/ ethnic clubs, miscellaneous-meritorious associations, and more.

Our partnership with and support towards the Knights is very important to us. This season three of our solicitors played for this club, with several more coming along many weeks to support. We look forward to continuing our support of the Knights and hopefully witnessing three open mens premierships in the 2024 season.

The Partners of Collas Moro Ross are delighted to announce the promotions of Paul Bosch to Senior Associate and Tom Ross to Associate.

This will likely come as no surprise to our clients and referrers. Both Paul and Tom joined the team in 2016 while undertaking their legal training and have since developed into highly-skilled solicitors in their respective practice areas.

Paul commands an integral role in the firm's commercial property practice. He regularly acts for some of Australia's most prominent developers in the acquisition and development of property, and also services clients involved in a broad spectrum of commercial matters.

Tom's interest in problem solving helps him excel as a civil and commercial litigator. He loves helping clients resolve disputes, solve complex problems, and minimise their exposure to legal risk.

Paul and Tom's respective promotions are recognition of their work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to positive outcomes for our clients.
