Baldwins Lawyers’ Rich History of Serving Queensland Families
Baldwins Lawyers traces its roots back to 1931 when Eric Duncan Elwing established honest, reliable legal services in Gympie.
In 1987, Bob Baldwin acquired the practice and served the Queensland community with his wife for over 20 years before returning in 2011 to reestablish Baldwins Lawyers. In 2018, current Director Zasco van Rooyen continued this nearly century-long tradition, creating a friendly, family-oriented legal service that upholds the same values of honesty and reliability that have defined the practice since day one.
Three generations. One commitment: putting families first.
Our Values
At Baldwins Lawyers, we believe great legal service comes down
to three things:
Experience that counts - more than 20 years and over 10,000 transactions across Queensland.
Clear communication - no jargon, just practical advice you can understand and rely on.
Personal service - every client is unique, and so is our approach.
We don't just deliver outcomes - we build relationships based on trust, transparency, and care.
Our Future
As the Sunshine Coast and Gympie continue to grow, so does Baldwins Lawyers. We're committed to combining our long-standing reputation with forward-thinking legal solutions.
Whether it's conveyancing, family law, or commercial matters, our mission remains the same: to guide people through complex processes with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
We see our future as one where clients know that when they come to Baldwins, they're not just hiring lawyers - they're partnering with a team that truly wants to help.

Carlo Sinosich
“I've recently used Baldwins Lawyers for conveyancing and was extremely delighted with the service they provided. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. Zasco, Martina and Amy fielded a lot of clarifying questions from my end, and I received timely responses on each and every one of them. It’s clear to me they genuinely care about their clients, and I really appreciated their attention to detail and time spent on guiding me through this. I highly recommend the team at Baldwins Lawyers and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.”
Sarah Eaton
“Highly recommend Baldwin's Lawyers and especially Martina Hall. She made the recent experience smooth and very easy to go to her with any concerns. Anything we were unsure of, she was able to assist and break it down so we understood what was asked and what procedure was next. The real estate agent we dealt with even said she was very knowledgeable and professional and had nothing but great words about her. Will use her again in the future!!!”
Taylor Gilliland
“Just wanted to share my pleasant experience with the team at Baldwins Lawyers. I have had the pleasure of using this company for our conveyancing for the settlement of our home. Every little bit of the experience has been professional, convenient and efficient. Kali, who has done all of the hands-on, has been extremely lovely and professional and handled all aspects of the conveyancing with an enthusiastic attitude. I will be recommending them, and especially Kali, to everyone I know. Thank you, Baldwins, for making the process such a delightful breeze!”

“Dealing with separation can be so stressful and overwhelming. Corrine Carter made me feel at ease. Corrine gets the job done and makes it fun in the process. She is very professional but knows how to make you laugh. Would highly recommend Corrine.”

“I recently sold a property, and Baldwins Lawyers helped me with my conveyancing. I would like to thank Martina and Amy for all of their help. They were quick to respond to any emails or calls and happily answered my questions and kept me up to date with everything happening. They made the process of the sale so much easier and less stressful than I was expecting, and I would happily use their services again for any future conveyancing. Thank you so much for your help.”

Yvonne Walker-Shipley
“I have been a client on several occasions. I have nothing but praise. They are great.”
Tara M
“I used Baldwins Lawyers as my conveyancer when I bought my first property here in Australia. They had been recommended to me. I am extremely glad I did because Martina Hall was amazing. She carried me through the whole process, and I felt I could actually rely on her to manage the process for me, so I had to have minimal involvement. This was my first property purchase, and I was buying alone, so pretty clueless about things. Martina patiently explained everything in detail to me from the start. Everyone told me that buying property was stressful, and at first, after settling, I couldn’t understand why but then I realised it’s because I had a conveyancer I could trust and rely on. The pricing was also really good, especially for the quality of service. Couldn’t thank them or recommend Baldwins enough. Thank you!”
