About Us

Paula Sutherland & Associates are Tasmanian lawyers who offer specialist legal advice tailored to clients’ specific needs. We provide practical solutions and options while identifying risks and possible consequences in a way that best achieves our clients’ desired outcomes. In the delivery of legal services, our focus is on transparency, achieving the best outcome for our clients, and anticipating their future needs.

Generally, our approach involves attempting to resolve disputes before using courts. We explore all avenues to resolve disputes without the need for legal proceedings, thereby avoiding the cost, personal stress, and disruption that accompanies litigation. That said, litigation is inevitable in some circumstances. We are fierce advocates on behalf of our clients in court and stress the importance of keeping clients updated and informed as matters progress through the court system.

With over 15 years of legal experience, Paula Sutherland & Associates is an innovative and progressive Hobart law firm servicing Tasmania. We regularly travel to Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, and other areas in Tasmania to meet with clients. We adopt a no-nonsense approach to all aspects of the dispute resolution process efficiently and cost-effectively.

We welcome client enquiries concerning new and existing matters. Paula has regularly acted as agent for mainland firms and mercantile agencies and is happy to continue to do so. Paula Sutherland & Associates has been recognised as one of Australia’s fastest-growing law firms by Australasian Lawyer, and as a recommended Wills & Estates Litigation Law Firm by the Doyle’s Guide.
