Murwillumbah Tweed Heads

Stacks Law Firm, Tweed Heads originated from the merger in 1997 of two local and respected firms, Halliday & Stainlay and A D Mitchell and Co. Ted Halliday commenced legal practice in Murwillumbah in 1891, with a branch office at Coolangatta. Mr Halliday teamed up with Leo Stainlay after the Second World War, beginning a successful partnership. Tony Mitchell commenced legal practice in Tweed Heads in 1985.

Stacks Law Firm, Tweed Heads is proud of its origins and today continues the practice of providing a friendly and supportive environment with traditional family values.

Our firm is a member of the Stacks Law Group, which means it has access to the combined knowledge and experience of over 90 lawyers in more than 25 offices across NSW and QLD.
