The legal profession is a fused profession in Tasmania which means our Lawyers can act both as a solicitor and as a barrister (Counsel). Our litigation lawyers are experienced as both Solicitor and as Counsel and regularly appear as Counsel in Court. Where appropriate and in consultation with you Douglas & Collins may brief a barrister to provide specialist advice and representation.
