For over 40 years, we have been the trusted legal advisors on the Sunshine Coast.
A legacy of legal excellence since 1980.
For over four decades, Shoreline Law has been a cornerstone of the Sunshine Coast community, providing reliable and effective legal services. Our journey began in 1980 when Wayne Rowe founded his firm dedicated to delivering trusted legal advice and fostering community relationships.
In 2021, a new chapter unfolded as Mark Stevens assumed leadership and rebranded it Shoreline Law to continue the legacy of excellence. His commitment to client-focused service and innovative legal solutions reinforced its standing in the community.
