History of McKays
The practice was established on the 1st of March 1988 upon the merger of two North Queensland firms, Nissen & Coates and Seeto McKay, both of which were based in Mackay .
One of our founding partners, Mark McKay, was killed in a tragic motor vehicle accident in June, 1988. It is in honour of Mark, that the practice was named McKays.
The McKays Group is now an alliance of independently owned and operated legal practices operating under the name McKays.
