Roger Corn­forth Retires Fol­low­ing 45 Years of Dis­tin­guished Legal Practice

Roger’s career has been defined by trust­ed rela­tion­ships, prac­ti­cal advice and an unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to his clients. Begin­ning his legal career at Tress Cocks & Mad­dox, fol­lowed by an in-house role with Ben­e­fi­cial Finance Cor­po­ra­tion, Roger then spent more than a decade at Lane & Lane Lawyers before enjoy­ing a remark­able 27-year part­ner­ship at Hol­man Webb Lawyers, where he served as Man­ag­ing Part­ner and lat­er led the fir­m’s Pri­vate Client & Prop­er­ty Group. He joined Swaab as a Part­ner in 2021, bring­ing decades of exper­tise in prop­er­ty, prop­er­ty finance, wills, estates and pri­vate client advi­so­ry work.

Through­out his career, Roger estab­lished a rep­u­ta­tion as a trust­ed advis­er to indi­vid­u­als, fam­i­lies and fam­i­ly-owned busi­ness­es. Many of his client rela­tion­ships spanned decades, reflect­ing the con­fi­dence peo­ple placed in his judg­ment, integri­ty and prac­ti­cal approach to solv­ing com­plex legal issues.

Beyond his pro­fes­sion­al achieve­ments, Roger has remained com­mit­ted to the broad­er com­mu­ni­ty through his involve­ment with the North­ern Sub­urbs Rug­by Club and as Hon­orary Solic­i­tor of the Mos­man Crick­et Club, con­tin­u­ing a long tra­di­tion of ser­vice both with­in and beyond the legal profession.

While Roger has stepped back from the day-to-day man­age­ment of legal mat­ters, he retains his prac­tis­ing cer­tifi­cate and remains avail­able to his past clients, col­leagues and pro­fes­sion­al network.

Con­grat­u­la­tions Roger on an excep­tion­al career and thank you for the wis­dom, lead­er­ship and gen­eros­i­ty you have shared with so many over the past 45 years.

Should you be seek­ing guid­ance, a sec­ond opin­ion, or an intro­duc­tion to a trust­ed spe­cial­ist, Roger would be delight­ed to hear from you. Please feel free to call or email.
