Some news we're proud to share. 🌟

**Ascent Lawyers — 2026 Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards Finalist** 🏆

Our founder and Principal Lawyer, Mengpei Gao, has been named a finalist in the Personal Injury Partner of the Year category at the 2026 Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards. It's a national shortlist of senior practitioners, selected by an independent judging panel.

While this is a meaningful recognition for Mengpei, it's also a moment for our whole Ascent Lawyers family.

It's a recognition of the care that goes into the work — the way our team practises personal injury law in Brisbane, and the way we've built a multilingual firm where clients are understood in the language they think in: English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese.

And to the clients who walked into our office during a difficult time — thank you for trusting us with it. ❤️

When an accident happens, everything stops.

You're suddenly dealing with a process most people never expected to navigate, decisions you've never had to make before, and questions about who you can trust.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Ascent Lawyers is a Brisbane-based personal injury firm, built on a simple idea: before we solve the problem, we understand the person. That starts with sitting down and actually listening — the details, the concerns, the full picture.

We've focused on one thing since 2018 — personal injury law. Today that means a team with depth across every major practice area, thousands of matters handled across Queensland, and 280+ five-star Google reviews.

And if you or someone you know speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, or Vietnamese as a first language — we don't use interpreters. We handle your case natively, in the language you think in. Because understanding shouldn't be the thing you're struggling with.

If you've been injured, or you know someone who has — now you know who to call.

Most people don't think about a lawyer until something goes wrong.
And when it does — you want someone who knows exactly what they're doing, takes the time to explain what's happening with your case, and actually has your back through the whole process. That's what Ascent Lawyers was built for.

Our founder, Mengpei Gao, came to Australia as an international student. She earned her Australian legal qualifications in 2 years and 8 months, and in 2018 she founded this firm on a No Win No Fee model. Today we're a team of over 20 professionals across Queensland, with 270+ five-star Google reviews.

But there's something else that makes us different. If you or someone you care about speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, or Vietnamese as a first language — we don't use interpreters. We explain your rights, your options, and every step of your case natively, in the language you think in. Because when something serious has happened, understanding shouldn't be the thing you're struggling with.

This interview is in Mandarin — it's our founder telling her full story for the first time, to the community that's been at the heart of this firm from day one. Even if you don't speak the language, the story behind Ascent Lawyers is worth knowing.

If you've been in a car accident, injured at work, or hurt in a public place — we're here for you. And if someone you know has been, but doesn't know where to turn — now you know where to send them.

🚨 Witness Appeal: Beaudesert Road Hit & Run 🚨

💥 Large Truck Suddenly Changed Lanes — Car Sent Spinning
📅 Date: 17 March 2026, around 12:31 PM
📍 Location: Beaudesert Road, near Sunnybank Hills / Calamvale

We are urgently seeking witnesses or anyone with information about a serious hit-and-run incident that took place on Beaudesert Road.

Our client, a young international student working as a social worker, was on her way home after a lunch shift when her life was turned upside down in a matter of seconds.

She was travelling in the left lane when a large truck suddenly merged left without warning, slamming into the rear-right side of her vehicle. The impact sent her car completely out of control — spinning across the road before coming to rest on the grass verge.

After the collision, the truck did not stop. It fled the scene.

Our client is an international student working as a social worker, spending her days caring for vulnerable patients.
That one collision changed everything:
▪️ Cervical spine injury
▪️ Persistent dizziness
▪️ Vehicle severely damaged — written off
▪️ Unable to return to work, unable to continue caring for her patients
Through no fault of her own, she is now left dealing with physical pain, financial pressure, and an overwhelming process — all on her own.

🙏 Urgent Call for Witnesses
📍 Beaudesert Road, near Sunnybank Hills / Calamvale
🕛 17 March 2026, around 12:31 PM
🚛 Vehicle involved: A large truck, suspected of suddenly merging left without warning

Were you driving along Beaudesert Road at the time?
Do you have dashcam footage or did you witness the collision?

👉 Please help share this post — the sooner we find witnesses, the better her chances.

🚨 Urgent Witness Appeal – Logan Motorway Crash (Hit & Run)

🚨 Morning Crash on Logan Motorway – Green Truck Suspected of Hit-and-Run 💥
📅 Date & Time: 3 February 2026, 6:10–6:20 AM
📍 Location: Logan Motorway Toll Road (M6), near Concorde Park
Close to Concorde Drive, Loganholme QLD 4129

💥 What Happened

The vehicle involved was travelling eastbound on the Logan Motorway toll section (M6) under normal conditions.

As it approached the Concorde Park area in Loganholme,
⚠️ a green truck (suspected) suddenly merged from the right lane into the left lane, colliding with the victim’s vehicle on the rear-right side.

The impact caused the car to lose control, swerving dangerously from side to side at high speed.

Even more shockingly—
❗ the truck did not stop after the collision and fled the scene immediately.

👀 Impact on the Victims
The two occupants were travelling from Cairns to Brisbane for a holiday when the crash occurred.

As a result of the accident, both suffered:
▪️ Neck sprain
▪️ Shoulder, neck, and back pain from the impact
▪️ Ongoing psychological trauma — they are still afraid to drive

What should have been a normal trip turned into a frightening and unforgettable experience.

🙏 We Are Seeking Witnesses

🚛 Vehicle involved: Suspected green truck
📍 Location: Logan Motorway M6 near Concorde Park
🕖 Time: 6:10–6:20 AM, 3 February 2026

If you were travelling through this area at the time,
or if your dashcam captured any footage — even just the lane change moment —
it could be a crucial clue in helping us understand what happened.

Please contact us as soon as possible.

👉 Please Help Share

The sooner witnesses are found, the better the chance of uncovering the truth.
Your information or a simple share could be the key to helping the victims get justice.
