The conversation also turned to negotiating a memorandum of understanding, which Matt said could involve mutual support and educational exchanges.
“The QLS has got MOUs with a number of law societies throughout the Pacific and also into Asia as well,” he said.
“We’ve never met with the Naoero Law Society before, so this was a new and fresh start.
“These things can take a little while to gain some momentum, but they can be very productive.”
Matt said relationships such as this were reflective of the Society’s membership and offered support across the broader legal profession in the region.
“We’ve got some practitioners who operate practices across a couple of jurisdictions and operate across a couple of countries and that’s a bit of a new and interesting model,” he said.
“There’s a bit of a discussion about how the Pacific can come together, and Queensland being a part of that sounds really exciting.
“It’s an interesting concept about how practice across borders is starting to become more common and then to ask, how do we all cooperate and support each other to make that work?”
