Qian Long is a litigation and dispute-resolution lawyer whose practice spans commercial, corporate, family, criminal, and employment law across multiple Australian jurisdictions. She holds a Juris Doctor from Bond University and a Bachelor of Literature from China, and brings to her work a rare combination of cross-cultural fluency, strategic precision, and genuine compassion for the people she represents.
Qian advises and acts for clients across Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, as well as firms and individuals based in China, working alongside barristers, King’s Counsel, and mediators in contested proceedings at every level, from the Local Court and Magistrates Court to the Supreme Court. She has completed AMDRAS Accredited Mediator training, equipping her to guide clients toward resolution when negotiation can achieve what litigation cannot.
Clients consistently describe Qian as a lawyer who listens first and strategises second, someone whose attentive understanding of their circumstances leads to strategies that change the trajectory of their matter.
Philosophy
If you want peace, prepare for war. But war is the instrument, never the purpose. The mark of a skilled advocate is not the battles she wins, but the ones she renders unnecessary, through preparation so thorough that strength itself becomes persuasion.
Areas of Practice
How She Work
Qian prepares every matter as if it will be tried, and negotiates as if it need not be. She is direct, methodical, and relentless in her attention to detail, managing a diverse caseload across multiple jurisdictions without losing sight of the human stakes at the centre of each matter.
Within the firm, Qian works across practice groups and regularly assists senior lawyers on complex, multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes. She is constantly broadening her expertise and is valued for her ability to move between areas of law.
Community & Pro Bono
Qian volunteers her time as a solicitor to community-based legal assistance schemes focused on access to justice for the most vulnerable members of the community. This work is not incidental to her practice, it reflects the values that underpin it.
Before the Law
Prior to commencing her legal career, Qian was a television and radio presenter in China, reaching an audience of over 25 million. She also produced media content for local government and corporate clients. That experience gave her a broadcaster’s clarity of expression, an instinct for narrative, and an understanding of how to communicate complex ideas persuasively to any audience, skills she now deploys in courtrooms, mediations, and client strategy sessions.
