Margaret Arthur

Margaret Arthur

 Margaret Arthur is a partner in the firm CRH Law and specialises in the area 

of Succession law and Guardianship & Administration matters.

In 2015 Margaret achieved accreditation in Succession law through the 

Queensland Law Society and is one of only 44 lawyers in Queensland who 

hold this specialisation.

Before that she spent a number of years at other private law firms practising 

mostly in family law, a short stint as a deputy registrar in the family court and 

a number of years at Caxton legal service.

Joining me to interview Margaret is Fiona Muirhead, a good friend of us both

Margaret talks about:

 The dangers of working and living in Papua New Guinea

 Helping a woman get a protection order on the basis that her partner 

was practising witchcraft

 why she abandoned her dream of becoming a fiction writer to become 

a lawyer

 how networking helped with career opportunities 

 The benefits of volunteering, particularly at Caxton Legal Service

 The unique challenges of working in government, community legal 

centres and private practice

 The expense of legal fees and the effects of litigation on individuals 

 The need for holistic help for the people who have legal problems

 The difficulty of elderly people seeking legal advice when their financial 

affairs are managed by the public trustee

 Elder law and common financial abuse matters 

 How exercise keeps her grounded 

 The vagaries of government funding
