Cartwrights Lawyers was established in 1974 by Bob Cartwright.
Bob grew up a rural boy in Prairie, Queensland. He completed his Law Degree at the University of Queensland and completed his Articles with Jack Cartwright in Gympie.
Bob’s first office was in the old Westpac Bank building in the heart of Noosa Junction. He started with just two staff members, Liz Smits and Therese Furner (pictured).
In 1982, Michael Richardson moved from Melbourne and joined Bob, with the firm then relocating to premises in Bottlebrush Avenue, Noosa Junction, where it remains today.
Bob’s daughter Clare Cartwright, and Michael’s daughter Anna Richardson, alongside Tania Kirkpatrick now continue the legacy of the firm, which has grown in size and services over the years. Today, Cartwrights Lawyers consists of six solicitors and 12 support staff.
In 2023, Clare Cartwright was recognised for specialist expertise in the area of Succession Law and is one of only 40 current Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialists in Succession Law.
Cartwrights Lawyers are pleased to join with other local businesses in presenting the upcoming seminar on Ageing Well at the Noosa Library on 7 November 2024.
