A law firm that feels different
At Tallay, we believe a law firm should feel like a safe place—somewhere you know you’ll be taken care of, listened to, and guided in the right direction.
Legal matters can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. We make sure you always have the clarity, confidence, and support you need—without the stress, the jargon, or the outdated formalities. We’re accessible, available, and here when you need us, whether that means meeting in person, hopping on a call, or working remotely.
We’re not tied to a desk, and neither are our clients. Whether we’re working from a Gold Coast café, a beachside balcony, or halfway across the world, we’re always here—just an email or call away.
Why Tallay?
Tallay was founded in 2024 by Elisha Hodgson and Tom Robinson, two lawyers with over 20 years of combined experience who saw an opportunity to create a law firm that feels different.
The name Tallay is a nod to their roots — Tallebudgera Valley and Torbay, New Zealand — symbolising both home and the broader perspective they bring to their work.
What began as a vision shared between two lawyers has quickly grown into a dedicated team of professionals who share the same values: clarity, connection, and care. Together, they’ve built a firm that delivers exceptional legal support while maintaining genuine relationships with clients and communities across Australia.
We specialise in:
✔️ Conveyancing – Buying or selling a home? We handle residential conveyancing with precision, guiding you through each step for a smooth and stress-free settlement.
✔️ Body Corporate & Strata – Navigating the complexities of community living? We simplify body corporate and strata matters, offering practical advice on by-laws, meetings, and compliance.
✔️ New Developments – Embarking on a new development or considering a scheme termination? We provide expert guidance to help you move confidently through each stage of the process.
✔️ Commercial Matters – From contracts and business transactions to company structures and debt recovery, we craft effective, tailored solutions that protect and support your business.
But we’re more than just legal experts, we’re people who genuinely care about the people we work with.
At Tallay, relationships come first. We believe law should feel approachable, human, and built around real connection, not complexity.
A law firm that gives back
At Tallay, giving back isn’t an afterthought, it’s a pillar of who we are.
From industry leadership to local initiatives, our team is committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we’re part of. Collectively, we’re involved in mentoring, volunteering, supporting charities, and contributing to professional and sporting organisations that strengthen connection and opportunity.
Whether it’s leading within the strata industry, mentoring future professionals, supporting local animal welfare and community funds, or helping keep Australia’s landscapes clean, every member of our team brings a genuine commitment to doing good both in and outside of the office.
Because for us, law isn’t just about outcomes, it’s about using our skills and experience to create positive change where it matters most.
More than just law, it's a space you can trust.
Tallay is built on community, connection, and a belief in doing things differently.
✔️ We challenge the norm – Pushing boundaries and redefining what a law firm can be.
✔️ We support grassroots causes – Because real impact happens from the ground up.
✔️ We lift others up – Whether through mentorship, leadership, or simply doing good work with good people.
We’ve built Tallay to be a place where people feel secure, supported, and valued. Whether you’re making big life decisions, navigating challenges, or just need a trusted legal partner, we’re here to make it easier, clearer, and stress-free.
