Boylan Lawyers History
STRATHALBYN, 1875
The Mayor of Strathalbyn, Edward Jones Tucker, established a bustling law firm to protect the rights of those in his community. Mr Tucker served three terms as Strathalbyn’s Mayor and acted as the conveyancer, executor, and legal advisor to the residents of Strathalbyn and surrounds. Mr Tucker had an inspiring career in the law, being instrumental in the Married Women’s Property Bill which allowed females to own property. He was also the longest practicing solicitor in South Australia until his death in 1939. Mr Tucker’s firm was handed down to his son, which meant their family practiced from this firm for over 100 years.
Jeremy Moore was the next principal of the Strathalbyn firm, where he practiced for over 22 years. Jane Moore joined the practice after being admitted as a legal practitioner. Mr Moore moved onto his role as President of the Guardianship Board and Jane Moore became Principal of the firm. Mrs Moore merged her firm with her brother Paul Boylan years later in 2013, which is when the Strathalbyn firm officially became part of Boylan Lawyers. Mrs Moore combined her experience as a counsellor with the Family Court of Australia and as a Senior Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner to eventually act as a consultant for Boylan Lawyers.
PORT PIRIE, 1922
Clare Hannan established a small and successful law firm in the Southern Flinders Ranges city of Port Pirie, which serviced clients throughout northern South Australia. In 1939 Clare Hannan was joined in the practice by Miah O’Callaghan, a skilled lawyer whose experience involved matters that were heard in the High Court of Australia.
In 1982, Paul Boylan acquired Mr O’Callaghan’s firm and officially founded Boylan Lawyers. Paul Boylan led the Boylan Lawyers team to become the most well-known firm in the north of South Australia. In 2007, Sebastian Hill joined Boylan Lawyers and became a partner at the firm in 2012.
ADELAIDE, VICTOR HARBOR, PORT AUGUSTA 2014
