Our history
Barry.Nilsson. was founded in 1963 by John Barry and operated as a general commercial and property law firm. In the early 1970s, John's brother David Barry was joined by Jack Nilsson to form Barry & Nilsson. The firm later grew to include the areas of Family Law and Insurance & Health Law, and changed to Barry.Nilsson. in 2010.
In 2014, Barry.Nilsson. expanded its East Coast footprint and established an Insurance & Health practice in Sydney, before establishing operations in Melbourne in 2015. In 2016, the firm celebrated its national expansion, with the addition of a Family Law practice in Melbourne, an expanded Sydney office and the launch of offices in Hobart and Adelaide.
