About Tallay Law

Tallay was founded in 2024 by co-founders, Elisha Hodgson and Tom Robinson. 

The name "Tallay" reflects our founders' roots, combining Tallebudgera Valley and Torbay in New Zealand, paying homage to where they are from and symbolising its connection to both the local area and a broader perspective.

With over 20 years combined legal experience, specialising in Property, Litigation, Wills & Estates and Commercial/Business transactions, our co-founders have crafted a specialised legal practice which can cater for all your needs.  Whilst Elisha and Tom call Gold Coast home, Tallay serves clients from Far North Queensland to Northern New South Wales and beyond. The Community and giving back is a key pillar to the practice. 

Both Elisha and Tom have made significant contributions to various associations and communities through their affiliations and roles. 

In 2018, Tom co-founded 'People in Strata,' a non-for-profit association dedicated to supporting and uniting strata professionals in a safe networking environment. He also provides invaluable assistance to the industry in his position as Committee Member of the Strata Community Australia (QLD) Education Committee. As an avid All Blacks supporter, it was inevitable that Tom also found his way on the board of Gold Coast Rugby, showcasing his passion for sports and community involvement. 

Elisha has also been a key contributor to the community, actively involved in the Equestrian community as a state and national competitor, coach and mentor. When she joined the legal fraternity, she was quickly nominated as a Committee Member with the Gold Coast District Law Association, a position she held for four years. She was later elected to the board of the Gold Coast Community Fund, a non-for-profit charity established over twenty years ago by some of the most influential Gold Coast business women and men. This charity, dedicated to helping Gold Coasters in need, has raised over $20 million since its inception, a cause she has passionately contributed to during her tenure as a Board Member. 

Elisha and Tom are thrilled to launch Tallay to continue the good work they do for good people. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with Tom and Elisha.
