Our History
Established in the 1880s
In 1888, John R Edwards founded a legal firm in Broken Hill. Only seven months later, a fire devastated the firm's first office. Still, nevertheless, John persisted in his endeavours and was appointed solicitor to the Municipality of Broken Hill. November 1910 saw John's son, Abdy Fellowes Edwards, join the firm, then known as John R. Edwards & Son.
Abdy ushered in an era of growth, and the firm was later purchased by Mitchell Austen Brown and Thomas John Brown, who renamed it John R. Edwards, Son and Brown. The firm continued to expand throughout the following decades, and in 1983 Andrew Boog joined the firm to spearhead its expansion into Dubbo.
130+ Years in Law
Fast forward to the early 2000s, when Andrew became the firm's sole owner, and the business became known as Austen Brown Boog. In April of 2008, our firm celebrated 120 years and released our second publication, 'Lawyers in the Outback.'
October 2021 saw our most recent merge with Silkman Hockey Lawyers, and the firm was renamed once more to Silkman Austen Brown Lawyers. Today, we remain committed to providing the best legal services possible to our clients in Dubbo, Broken Hill and the surrounding regions.
