Is this right for you?

This is for you if…

  • You are a law student, graduate or lawyer who wants your next career move to be deliberate, not accidental
  • Your CV or LinkedIn profile no longer reflects the level you are working at
  • You have an interview coming up and want to prepare strategically
  • You are navigating a promotion, a career pivot, or a return to practice
  • You want practical, implementable advice from a practising senior lawyer

This is not…

  • Legal advice — for wills, estates or disputes, please make a legal enquiry through my firm
  • Academic tutoring — for law-school subjects and assessment skills, see Legal Tutoring
  • A guarantee of any employment outcome — results depend on the market and your effort
  • Psychological counselling or financial advice

I highly recommend Attwood Marshall. I required their assistance recently with an estate matter & I received very prompt & professional service from Martin Mallon. I have dealt with Attwood Marshall prior to this & always received exceptional service.

Therese Spears

I engaged with this law firm and the solicitor Mr Martin Mallon he was highly professional had excellent attention to detail and very efficient to the effect of minimising legal costs while achieving the best possible outcome he is skilled at negotiating and knows his laws well. Would highly recommend if attempting to resolve estate matters.

Adam Sherry

I have recently required good legal advice and was fortunate to have found Martin Mallon. He has been very professional, extremely easy to talk to about a very sensitive legal situation and I would certainly recommend Martin to anyone requiring advice regarding a will or estate matters.

Colleen Biddle

I was referred to Martin Mallon with an ongoing estate issue, unresolved for several months. Martin put me instantly at ease with his professional and expert approach, and the issue was resolved within a short time with an out of court settlement in my favour. All the staff at this legal firm are professional and friendly and experts in their fields, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm for any of your legal requirements.

Suellen Thomas

Dealing with legal matters when you have no previous experience can be bewildering and extremely traumatic. Martin Marshall was more than my legal representative. He explained exactly what my options were in regards to time and costs. With Martin I had a lawyer who put my interests first and fought to the end for a successful conclusion.

Nerida Marshall

A huge thank you to Martin Mallon of Attwood Marshall for his considerable effort in resolving my case. Martin was very diligent and professional whilst at the same time considerate of my feelings as the case became very stressful and emotional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Martin to my family and friends should they need legal advice. Thank you Shirley

𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆 in responding to concerns raised by beneficiaries. Many estate disputes become significantly more complicated—not because of the underlying legal issue, but because nothing happened for months or even years. ⏳Time limits matter. 📜Evidence changes. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒Relationships deteriorate. 💰Costs increase. Early advice often preserves options that later disappear. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Delay doesn't just cost time—it can cost evidence, opportunities and, ultimately, the outcome. Taking informed action early is often the best way to protect your position. #estatedisputes #succession #estatelitigation #estateadministration #delay #lawyer #disputes🌈 Reflecting on an Inspiring LGBTIQA+ Leadership Summit in Sydney 🌈 Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a two-day LGBTIQA+ leadership summit in Sydney. Thank you The Leadership Institute (ANZ) Sam Wallis and Dana for a rewarding and beneficial conference.🙏 It was an amazing experience focused on leadership development, embracing authenticity, building confidence and advocating for people who identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ community. I walked away with actionable insights on how we, as leaders, can create more inclusive and safe environments for everyone. I was inspired by all of the speakers who shared their stories and insights. I am grateful to my employer @attwoodmarshalllawyers for their unwavering support in my continued professional and personal growth. I’m fortunate to be part of a firm that values inclusivity, diversity and empowers its team to be their authentic selves. I want to use my platform as a senior lawyer of @attwoodmarshalllawyers practising exclusively in estate litigation to support fellow members of the LGBTIQA+ community who are mired in estate disputes, often forcibly estranged from their families due to their sexual orientation and left out of their parents’ wills. I want to tell my community to remember: I hear you. You can be safe, and you will be supported. I am here for you and I will advocate for you and your rights. 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🏳️‍🌈 #Leadership #Inclusivity #LGBTIQALeadership #Authenticity #AttwoodMarshallLawyers #ProfessionalGrowth #SafeSpaces #DiversityMatters #proudadvocate #lgbti #lgbtiqa #lawyer #estatelitigationlawyer #NewSouthWales #sydney #estatedisputes #smartymartythelawyer🌈✨ Pride Month! ✨🌈 I’m thrilled to share my latest article published by @lawyers_weekly Weekly entitled “This Pride, with the help of my firm, I am no longer hiding.” In this piece, I delve into Pride Month, the positive steps taken by State and Federal governments and the urgent action required to end discrimination against people who identify as LGBTIAQ +.

As we celebrate Pride, it’s vital to recognize the profound impact a supportive work environment can have on individuals.

This boot camp wasn’t just about learning; it was about transforming. Each challenge faced was a lesson in strength, each obstacle, a stepping stone to self-assurance. Adversity, they say, brings out the strength we never knew we had. It’s true. With every speech, every interaction, I found pieces of myself that were once hidden by doubt. Now, they shine brightly, pieces of a puzzle coming together to form a picture of confidence. To anyone reading this, know that your voice has power, your ideas have value, and your presence is a gift. Embrace the challenges, for they forge you into the person you’re meant to be. I am passionate about fighting for people for cannot advocate for themselves. The most rewarding part of my job is achieving positive outcomes for clients which at times can be life changing! Let’s inspire each other to rise, to speak, and to lead with confidence. 💪✨ #ConfidenceBootCamp #PresentationSkills #PersonalGrowth #AdversityIsStrength #InspireChange #litigation #estatelitigation #lawyer @smartymartythelawyer @attwoodmarshalllawyersFacing a dispute over an estate can be incredibly stressful and emotionally draining, especially when there is uncertainty about whether or not someone is in fact "related" to the deceased person, entitled under a a Will or if they are entitled to make a Family Provision Application.
