They are Kate Pateman of KLP Family & Estate Law, Sam Cohen of Cohen Legal and Michael Spearman of Resolute Legal.
Travelling from Townsville to Mount Isa once a month for a week, The Solicitors' Roadshow have a permanent office at 1/9 Miles Street and have employed local woman Jenny Tyrrell to hold the fort.
The Solicitors' Roadshow say they are a one stop shop for all legal needs.
Ms Pateman said she had previously worked in Mount Isa.
"I know of the difficulties of getting and maintaining a high level and broad area of legal services to the community," Ms Pateman said.
"Having three independent law firms working together under one banner means that we are able to keep expenses low and we can provide very competitive pricing; on par with the city law firms."
Mr Spearman said he was surprised about the limited legal services especially the private sector.
"My background, prior to law, was in farming in North Queensland and mining in WA so I know all too well the issues that the smaller remote communities face."
Mr Cohen said the new office was open plan which they hope will help with building strong relationships with the community by not having solicitors locked behind doors and not willing to meet and see clients when they drop in.
"Having enjoyed working with Mount Isa businesses in the past it made great sense to open an office and become part of the local community," Mr Cohen said.
