 The founder of Elliot Tuthill was Dudley Charles Howard Elliot. Dudley first established the firm in 1947 under the name of D C H Elliot Solicitors after returning from service with the Royal Australian Air Force in World War II. The firm was located just north of where the Cronulla Post Office now stands.
Over the next eight years, Dudley entered into partnership with three other sole-practitioners within the Sutherland Shire and established offices at Miranda, Caringbah and Sutherland whilst still maintaining the Cronulla Office.
In 1958, the four partners elected to separate and operate on their own. It was at this time that the office of DCH Elliot Solicitors was moved to its current location at 119 Cronulla Street, Cronulla.
In 1960, Dudley introduced a new partner, William Dugdale Tuthill (called Bill). Bill had retired to Cronulla from Bowral after serving with the Australian Army in World War II. The new partnership was named Elliot Tuthill. Shortly after the formation of Elliot Tuthill, John Jordan was invited to become a partner of the firm after beginning his career in law as an Articled Clerk with Elliot Tuthill in 1952. Bill passed away soon after establishing the new partnership in the early 1960’s and Dudley retired from the firm in 1970 after 23 years of practising law in Cronulla.
 John Jordan was the person who began what is now known as the "Cronulla Spring Fair".
Tony Simpson, a resident of Cronulla for many years, was a Partner of Elliot Tuthill from 1969 to 1988 before retiring to pursue his many business and personal interests.
In 1976, John Jordan’s son, David Jordan, began working towards his admission as a Legal Practitioner with Elliot Tuthill. David was admitted as a Solicitor in 1981 and became a Partner in 1988.
Elliot Tuthill has since developed a dedicated group of people, several of whom have been with the firm for over twenty-one years. John Jordan retired from his position as Partner and became a consultant to the firm in 2004. At that time, Madeleine Reid, who had been an employed Solicitor with Elliot Tuthill since 1994, accepted the invitation to become a Partner of our firm.
Since establishment in 1947, Elliot Tuthill has prided itself on providing quality legal assistance to each client. Elliot Tuthill is committed to ensuring continuation of this tradition.
