Heather Guthrie

Heather is a supportive and compassionate lawyer who has been practising a broad range of law since 1983 after she graduated from Monash University with Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Economics.

Since starting Guthrie & Associates in 1986, Heather has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Somerville community and seeing the town change. A few of her original clients remain clients to this day, as well as several generations. Some of her clients recall Heather having her son or daughter in a bassinet in the office, these children are now adults themselves.

With Heather at the helm, Guthrie & Associates provides a service to the local community. The firm has now grown, and offers the services of two additional lawyers. However, at the heart of Guthrie & Associates is a strong community focus.
