Tonkin Drysdale Partners (TDP) admitted Nick Fagan into the partnership on July 1.
A highly respected criminal and family lawyer, he brings nearly 10 years of experience and exceptional character to the firm as partner.
Fagan joined Tonkin Drysdale Partners in 2018 and made the move to become Director of Public Prosecutions in 2021 to gain invaluable expertise in serious criminal matters, prosecuting some of the most serious criminal offences in NSW.
He returned to TDP in 2023 and is considered to be one of the leading criminal law solicitors on the Central Coast with a strong reputation for acting in complex criminal matters.
Fagan is also an experienced family law advocate who appears frequently in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
“Nick is an excellent lawyer, particularly as a criminal law advocate and in his family law matters,” partner Paul Tonkin said.
“Just as important to us is that Nick is a terrific person in and out of the courtroom and brings an exceptional character for the future of our firm.
“We welcome Nick, Emily, and his family to our partnership and are confident he will bring great passion and enthusiasm to his role as partner, lawyer and of course, mentor to others pursuing law at Tonkin Drysdale Partners.”
Fagan is now the head of the Criminal Law team at TDP.
“I am honoured to join the partnership at TDP,” he said.
“This firm has been instrumental in my professional growth, and I am committed to contributing to its continued success and development as one of the leading firms on the Coast.”
Away from the office, Fagan can be found on the sideline cheering on junior sport or playing golf at Kooindah Waters.
He joins current TDP partners – Paul Tonkin, Paul Quinn, Lee Pawlak and Dominic Tonkin.
