Nicholas O’Donohue, after graduating from Melbourne University did his articles of clerkship under Maurice Blackburn [whose legacy is now the legal firm Maurice Blackburn Cashman].
The practice was started by Nicholas O’Donohue in 1925. As the practice grew, its name reflected partnership changes from “O’Donohue Brew & Green” to “O’Donohue & Lynch”. For the past 50 years it has been known as “Nicholas O’Donohue & Co”.
Nicholas O’Donohue & Co. has grown considerably, with other practices being merged into the principal practice.Those practices include Hennessy Tibb & Partners in 1985, Stevenson & Co (investment clients) in 1986 and Slater & Gordon (investment, estates, property and business clients) in 1996.
The practice is associated with a number of significant historical legal cases resulting in changes in Victorian society during war time, post war migration, housing, finance and property development.
