About Attwood Marshall Lawyers
For over 75 years, we have been dedicated to serving the community with an intent to help people and change their lives for the better.
Attwood Marshall Lawyers are an established, reputable law firm that traces its origins in the Coolangatta/Tweed Heads area to when Eric Attwood set up his legal practice after the Second World War in 1946.
We moved into our current Coolangatta beachfront offices located in The Strand building in 1989 and have continued to grow ever since, with over 65 staff and additional offices located at Robina Town Centre, Southport, Kingscliff, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
We are a family orientated law firm with an emphasis on work/life balance. We support our employees in their work environment and provide excellent office conditions, utilising the latest in practice management systems (LEAP) and technology including PEXA. Staff have modern workspaces with natural light and ergonomic equipment. Our office systems also support working from home, if required. We are a paperless office and have a large focus on automation and technology advancements to help with progressing out clients matters as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We traditionally act for people in the most stressful periods of their lives (conveyancing and moving house is one of the top three stressors in people’s lives!), and it is very important that our lawyers, paralegals, and support staff understand this crucial issue.
