About Us

McGrath & Co Lawyers has a longstanding commitment to providing practical and professional legal services to the people of North West Tasmania, with roots tracing back to the late 1800s. The firm’s history reflects a merger of two distinguished legal traditions: one beginning with James Francis McGrath’s practice in Burnie from 1944, and another dating to 1883 with the formation of Crisp Hudson & Mann. In 1952, James McGrath partnered with his brother Francis Charles McGrath, establishing McGrath and McGrath at the firm’s current location on Cattley Street in Burnie. This partnership laid the foundation for the current incarnation of McGrath & Co, which emerged in the early 1990s when Francis Charles McGrath joined forces with his son Paul Joseph McGrath. The firm further expanded in 2013 through the acquisition of Crisp Hudson & Mann by Paul Joseph McGrath, uniting these historic legal legacies. Today, McGrath & Co is proud to represent a broad client base across the North West Coast of Tasmania, offering services across commercial law, conveyancing, wills and estates, family law, and litigation and dispute resolution. The firm is dedicated to delivering accessible and effective legal support tailored to the needs of individuals, families, and businesses in the region.
