FAR NORTH LAW FIRM NOTCHES UP 35 YEARS OF SER VICE

l CAIRNS CBD

RENOWNED legal firm Marino

Lawyers is marking 35 years of serving the Far Northern region.

Marino Lawyers was established in Cairns in 1988 by Charlie Marino and Peter Smith as Marino and Smith Solicitors.

For more than three decades, Mr Marino and the team have built a strong rapport with many families of the Far North.

Maree Mazur and Latisha Cali were associates of the firm from 2014 and 2017, respectively and in September 2021, Mr Marino passed the firm’s baton onto the women but he has stayed on as a consultant.

“We are glad that Charlie has stayed on board with the firm as our consultant with an incredible 38 years of experience to add to our own,” Ms Cali said.

“The firm’s motto is, ‘your family’s lawyer with you every step of the way’,” she said.

“Being local ourselves, it has always been great to be part of an established firm servicing so many local clients,” Ms Mazur said.

“It is a privilege to continue on the motto, now servicing the next local generations, who have continued on with us,” she said.

“Marino Lawyers is now a solid part of the legal landscape in Cairns and has provided jobs to many locals during that time,” Mr Marino said.

“It’s been a highlight to see the two new directors take the firm on into its 35th year. It’s quite exciting to see what they’re doing with the management of the firm, and in keeping the ownership local, bringing their talents to the firm, both in the legal and management arena,” he said.

“They’ve got their own personal talents that they’re bringing to the legal landscape, and not only Cairns, but the greater region from Port Douglas down to Innisfail, which is where the firm now provides legal services to.”
