Rob Franklin - CEO & Director
Criminal Lawyer Brisbane and Gold Coast
Director Rob Franklin is the CEO of Potts Lawyers.
Rob has practised for almost three decades, principally in the areas of commercial litigation and law firm management.
An adjunct assistant professor at Bond University Law Faculty, Rob has also for many years lectured in corporate law, business associations, contract, legal ethics and trust accounting. He enjoys serving on a Queensland Law Society Committee and has a special interest in legal ethics. He is also a mediator.
He consults on complex white collar offences, risk management and civil litigation.
As CEO Rob is responsible for the day to day management of the practice and as client care officer, he seeks to ensure that our services meet our clients’ needs and expectations. Rob believes that the success of any law firm depends on its ability to deliver consistently high standards of service. In criminal and civil litigation, that starts with listening to the client and maintaining a strong communication bond throughout the matter.
“Clients are looking for a dialogue with their lawyer. That involves a free exchange of information and the building of clear expectations.”
One of the areas he thinks lawyers can improve on is communication on costs.
“Clients want to know what their matter will cost and we meet that need by providing fixed fee quotations for each stage of the matter.”
Out of the office, he enjoys cruising in his restored Kombi and dreams of resurrecting his surfing career.
