Our People

We are a team of passionate lawyers dedicated to providing you with excellent legal services.

Devenish Law is unique in Cairns with three of our team members having worked for an extensive part of their careers in the Cairns office of a national law firm, including, for Stephen, almost a decade as the managing partner of that firm.

We are strong supporters of the local community. We express that support by participating in local community groups and serving on boards as well as through direct financial sponsorships. Currently Stephen is a board director of the Northern Pride Rugby League Club.

Shane Devenish is a former board director of the Dr Edward Koch Foundation and of SCA (Qld).  Shane is a current member of ARAMA and the Australian College of Strata Lawyers.  

We look forward to helping you.
