Lindsay Stoddart is pleased to have joined Owen Hodge lawyers in September 2016. He is not your everyday lawyer and has a wide experience including:
- his academic interests in theology and law
- lecturing at the University of Wollongong in Wills and Succession (Estate Planning)
- chairing two private schools through major intensive growth phases
- establishing as CEO a charity
Lindsay commenced practice on his own account at the age of 24 in Wollongong where he grew his practice exponentially:
- with another three lawyers of his generation his primary concern was the change to a service focus rather than the traditional stodgy professionalism of the day
- in day to day practice his primary service area was ‘business structures and trusts’
- he established numerous service trusts for the medical profession, and
- a large general and conveyancing practice.
Lindsay returned to the law some 16 years ago and has focused on what is called ‘Estate Planning‘ including;
- Testamentary Trust Wills for tax minimisation and asset protection
- generational and wealth creation
- disability trusts
- special trusts to give added protection against claims in the Family Court
- end of life documents expressing your wishes, and
- Will contests including Family Provision matters and will construction.
He has prepared Estate Plans from $300,000 to $200,000,000.
Some of his clients have stayed with him for nearly 40 years.
