Introducing Mark Johnson

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Mark Johnson and I am very pleased to have just joined Everingham Solomons in the position of Special Counsel.

Everingham Solomons is a very good law firm. I know this because I have a great deal of experience of lawyers and law firms. After graduating from the University of Sydney, I was admitted as a Solicitor in December 1976. From the date of my admission until a few weeks ago, I practised continuously as a Solicitor in the CBD of Sydney. For 25 years, I was a partner of Holman Webb, a mid tier firm. When I first joined John Holman and Doug Webb, the firm was approximately half the size that Everingham Solomons is now. So, I did a bit of everything but my preference was for litigation and I have been a specialist commercial litigator for many years.

I have acted for many corporations and individuals in all kinds of contentious matters. I have acted for banks and finance companies, insurance companies, property developers, construction companies, a trade union and an American toy manufacturer, a German pharmaceutical company and an Italian metal manufacturer. I have acted for individuals alleged to be stand over men, insider traders and stock market manipulators. I have also acted for many individuals with all sorts of problems with landlords, bureaucrats, family, neighbours and the police.

I came to Tamworth because I have family here, because my three children are grown up, because I wanted to escape the clamour of the city and because I wanted to join Everingham Solomons. It is an excellent firm. I look forward to working with the Directors Terry Broomfield, Ken Sorrenson, John Boag, Terry Robinson, Jennifer Blissett and Mark Grady and the Solicitors and staff and that I can contribute to the maintenance of the firm’s standards of excellence in providing legal services to its clients because Helping You is Our Business.
