Allison Burrows-Cheng
Sadly, our esteemed colleague and friend, Allison Burrows-Cheng passed away on 14th February 2025.
Allison joined Murdoch Clarke (then Murdoch Clarke Cosgrove and Drake) in 1991 as an apprentice solicitor and continued all of her practising career at Murdoch Clarke, including spending some years as a Partner. Most recently Allison was a consultant lawyer and head of the Family Law team at Murdoch Clarke.
Initially, Allison’s practice focused mainly on personal injury and workers compensation matters. More recently Allison had established a very busy practice comprising family and personal relationship and Testator’s Family Maintenance Act claims.
Allison was very much loved and held in high esteem by her work colleagues and her clients alike. She practised the law with deep compassion, empathy and humanity. She is very sadly missed by her work colleagues, her clients and the wider legal community.
