Leading Toowoomba Law Firm Appoints New Director
Clifford Gouldson Lawyers has appointed Carly Brailak as a Director of the firm effective from 1 July 2025.
Carly joins current directors Harrison Humphries, Amanda Tolson, Danny Clifford and Ben Gouldson.
Carly joined CGLaw in September 2019 and has been a critical member of the Property + Business Transactions (P+BT) practice area as a Special Counsel over the last nearly six years and has firmly cemented her reputation for responsive and high quality work in the Toowoomba legal market.
Managing Director Ben Gouldson said, “Danny, Harrison, Amanda and I are all absolutely delighted to have Carly join us as an owner of CGLaw.”
“She is highly regarded as a leading property lawyer in Toowoomba and has particular expertise in property development projects of all types. This is reflected in her position as a committee member of the Toowoomba branch of the Urban Development Institute, “ he said.
“With Carly practising together in the P+BT team with Amanda we are able to offer our clients both in Toowoomba and further afield the expertise of two extremely well regarded property and transactions experts.”
“From the moment Carly started working with us, we recognised that she has an exceptional commitment to meeting her client’s expectations and it’s clear that she lives and breathes our goal to provide Exceptional Legal Service. Every Client. Every Time.”
Carly said, “I’m really excited about the opportunity to join the existing directors leading Clifford Gouldson into the future and I’m grateful for the trust that has been placed in me.”
“Despite having practised as a lawyer for quite some time already when I arrived at CG Law, I have learned so much in the last six years and I’m looking forward to learning and growing further and to making a greater contribution to the firm, “ Carly said.
“No doubt this will involve challenging myself in this new capacity as I take on management as well as practising responsibilities.”
“I also think that being a working mother and becoming an owner and director demonstrates to other younger women who want to have a family and a career that it is achievable to do both, if that’s what you want – if you can see it, you can be it!”
“Joining CG Law has been one of the best decisions I could have made.”
“We have an outstanding culture and I’m lucky to be surrounded by great colleagues, doing great work, for great clients, each and every day.”
“It’s important to me that this outstanding culture is preserved and protected as the firm grows and strives to meet its goals into the future.”
Director Amanda Tolson said, “It’s so exciting to have another woman joining the CG Law directorship and particularly when Carly is someone who I have worked with both here and at previous law firms.”
“Carly has always stepped up at a senior level in our team and now our clients and colleagues have an additional Director in the property and transactions space to provide guidance or a sounding board as required,” she said.
