What’s happening?
Regional law firm Creevey Horrell Lawyers has opened a new office in Chinchilla, about 300km north-west of Brisbane, as part of its continued expansion across regional Queensland.
Creevey Horrell Principal Dan Creevey said the move reflects the firm’s focus on growing its presence in rural communities where legal support is often limited.
The new office will be led by local legal professional Renee Cahill, who will also be supported by visiting members of the firm’s wider legal team.
“Renee gives us a tremendous presence in Chinchilla, and she will be supported by visiting members of our legal team,” Mr Creevey said.
“Chinchilla has long been an important part of the Western Downs, and this new office reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting regional communities, not just through legal services, but by being present and engaged.
“By establishing a permanent base in Chinchilla, we’re making it easier for clients to access legal support without the need to travel, while continuing to deliver the same trusted expertise and service our clients expect.”
Ms Cahill brings more than a decade of legal industry experience, with a strong focus on property law.
“Joining a large regional firm is an exciting step in my career, but doing so in Chinchilla makes it even more meaningful,” Ms Cahill said.
“My husband and I are raising our five children here, and the safe, close-knit nature of the community is something we deeply value. I’m proud to contribute to the town both professionally and personally.”
Why it matters
Access to legal services can be limited in smaller regional towns. Establishing a permanent office helps residents and businesses receive legal advice without travelling to larger centres.
The move also reflects continued investment in regional Queensland’s professional services sector.
Local Impact
The new Chinchilla office will make legal support more accessible for people living across the Western Downs region.
Clients will be able to meet legal professionals locally rather than travelling to cities such as Toowoomba or Brisbane.
The expansion also strengthens Creevey Horrell’s regional presence while supporting local employment through the appointment of Ms Cahill.

-
Creevey Horrell Lawyers now operates five offices across Queensland, including locations in Chinchilla, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Townsville and Roma.

Zoom in
Creevey Horrell has continued expanding its services across Queensland.
The firm recently strengthened its crime and misconduct division in Brisbane after lawyers from McGinness & Associates joined the team.
“As a firm, we’re very committed to growth,” Mr Creevey said.
Zoom out
Creevey Horrell operates as a full-service law firm offering expertise across commercial law, property, agribusiness, litigation and dispute resolution.
It is also among the few commercial firms of its size in Queensland that provides personal legal services such as crime, family law, personal injuries and wills and estates.
What to look for next
The firm’s regional expansion suggests further growth may occur in other Queensland communities as demand for accessible legal services continues.
