Tusk Lawyers’ director, Tegan Childs is a young gun who loves a fight.

Her style is assertive but respectful, measured but persuasive. A reflection of her broader legal philosophy that litigation is not merely about winning, but about upholding legal and ethical standards, securing justice for clients, and holding parties accountable under the law.

Having practised law in all levels of district, state and federal courts across Queensland and New South Wales, Tegan is a seasoned litigator, ready to jump on her client’s most urgent and high-stakes disputes.

Tegan has worked exclusively in litigation on the Gold Coast since 2015, establishing Tusk Lawyers to provide a fresh approach and teaching those old boys on the other side of the courtroom a few new tricks.

Tegan uses every trick in her book and thinks outside the box to gain the leverage her clients need to obtain their best outcomes, as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.
