So who are we?
OUR TEAM
MARK TIGWELL
Director
Mark has been a Canberra lawyer for more than 34 years and has helped thousands of people with their legal matters. Mark’s clients appreciate his practical no nonsense results focussed advice and guidance to achieve the outcomes the client wants. Still acting for his 2nd ever client from 1984, Mark has been and continues to be a trusted adviser and confidant of several generations of many families and business owners across both the country and worldwide.
A people person, Mark strives to understand clients’ needs and goals and tailors his advice and achieves results to suit and benefit the client, not himself.
Mark is keen to share his knowledge and advice and welcomes a call ‘out of the blue’ from someone who just wants to check something or just ask a quick question. These free chats are just part of the holistic and continuing service Mark gives to his clients during and well after their particular matter has been finished.
A keen cook and wine lover, Mark’s downtime is often spent reliving the greatest musical periods of the century, belting out versions of popular masterpieces much to the annoyance of his family and his cats, his harshest critics.

ERIN BEDFORD
Director
Erin has a decade’s experience as a lawyer. Erin aims to get to know and work closely with clients to ascertain their goals so that she may endeavour to achieve the best possible legal outcome taking into account the commercial risks arising from any suggested course of action. Through working in this way she tries to customise each client’s experience with the law, and support them through the matter, with the aim to break the perception of many that visiting a solicitor is intimidating. Erin aims to always produce work for each client to an excellent standard in a timely fashion.
In her spare time Erin likes to cook, spend time with family and friends and is a passionate pet owner (she has a fur child and two skin children). She would love to do more travel and learn a language.
