Maroochydore-based law firm, Garland Waddington, is proud to announce the appointment of Madeline Klein and Nicole Downs as Associates.

Garland Waddington has been delivering high-end legal solutions to clients on the Sunshine Coast and across Queensland for almost 40 years. Madeline and Nicole have been valued members of the Garland Waddington team since 2017 and 2016 respectively, and brought with them a diverse range of legal expertise and experience.

Madeline was admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court in early 2014 and has since developed her areas of expertise in litigious matters including building & construction, commercial law and wills and estate litigation.

“Some call me a litigation lawyer, but I think of myself as someone who can support my clients and achieve meaningful solutions to complex problems,” Ms Klein said.

“Becoming an Associate is a welcome recognition, particularly when the appointment is with a firm I am extremely proud to be a part of, and look forward to continuing my career with for years to come,” Ms Klein said.

Nicole was admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court in 2002 and specialises in wills, estates, business and property law.

“I like to think I add value in saving them time and money through better outcomes as a result of years of experience and my understanding of the areas of business and property law,” Ms Downs said.

“Being appointed as Associates is recognition of the time and energy we have invested in our careers and into the people we help at Garland Waddington,” Ms Downs said.

Partner at Garland Waddington, Ken Waddington, said promoting Nicole and Madeline was an easy decision, given their levels of legal expertise and their dedication to problem solving.

“Both Nicole and Madeline are the very definition of our firm: city competence, coastal calm,” Mr Waddington said.

“Not only do they deliver unambiguous, high level legal advice and expertise, they both provide Garland Waddington clients with a level of empathy and reassurance that is essential when navigating legal situations,”

“Both I and my partner Brendan Bathersby are delighted at their appointments to Associates and look forward to continuing our work as a team known for delivering effective results for our clients,” he said.

Garland Waddington has been delivering practical legal solutions to clients on the Sunshine Coast and across Queensland for almost 40 years.
