How Can Cameron Help You?
Expertise in getting results
Criminal Law
Cameron Scott is a barrister at Edward Coke Chambers in Hobart. Called to the Bar in 2013, he appears in Tasmania’s courts every week and is instructed personally – not through a junior solicitor.
The work is about outcomes. He recently succeeded in having proceedings summarily dismissed in Kayser & Schauss [2025] FedCFamC2F 367. In the Supreme Court he has defended estates against claims that should not have succeeded, including How v How [2015] TASSC 4, and secured generous settlements for eligible applicants.
Doyle’s Guide has recognised him as a Leading Barrister in Tasmania – in 2026 and, for wills and estate litigation, in 2025. That ranking reflects the same thing clients come to him for: the applications and the trials that actually have to be won.
He reviews the brief himself, explains the real options in plain English, and is the one in the courtroom.
Family Law
Cameron also practices in contentious Family Law (Children and Property) matters, and has a breadth of experience in dealing with cases involving family violence, sexual assault allegations including in relation to children and property matters where family violence is a relevant factor.
Cameron undertakes a wide range of family law property matters including arguments for injunctions, and orders to set aside transactions designed to diminish the matrimonial asset pool.
Cameron has had recent success in seeking the summary dismissal of family law property proceedings, see: Kayser & Schauss [2025] FedCFamC2F 367.
Estates and Testator’s Family Maintenance Litigation
Cameron is an experienced barrister in Testator’s Family Maintenance (Family Provision) cases. Cameron has a proven track record of defending estates against unreasonable claims (see for example, How v How [2015] TASSC 4), as well as achieving generous settlements for eligible applications e.g. disabled adult children.
In 2025 Cameron was recognised by Doyles Guide as a Leading Wills and Estate Barrister in Tasmania.
