As a founding Director of O’Farrell Robertson McMahon, Russell Robertson has lead the development of our Wills & Estate team.

Russell is passionate about both the legal technicalities of will-making but also ensuring you understand the process and the choices involved. (Ask him about Section 7 of the Wills Act!) Your will and estate planning is something you want to make sure you get right, and the process of doing that to be with someone you trust.

Russell works with you to make a will which will give you and your family peace of mind. "It’s human nature to be apprehensive thinking about death, it’s my role to expertly guide you in the necessary conversation and decisions to make sure your will and powers of attorney are right for you and your family."

Russell aims to leave you with a sense of calm and peace of mind, with a solution that was so right for you, that you may not even know existed. As an Accredited Specialist in Wills and Estates, Russell provides almost 40 years of experience as a lawyer; this knowledge and experience will ensure that the process is not just easy, but comfortable for you.

Russell is able to assist with Estate Planning & Wills, with a particular interest in complex family situations and providing the best solutions when there are children with special needs.
