Cameron Scott - Barrister

Cameron Scott was called to the Bar in 2013 and is a barrister at Edward Coke Chambers in Hobart. He is a criminal law specialist and barrister who appears in Tasmania's courts every week and is instructed personally, not through a junior solicitor. He was recognised by Doyle's Guide as a Leading Barrister in Criminal Law for Tasmania in 2026 and as a Leading Wills and Estate Barrister in Tasmania in 2025. He practices in contentious Family Law (Children and Property) matters and has experience in cases involving family violence, sexual assault allegations including in relation to children, and property matters where family violence is a relevant factor.

He is an experienced barrister in Testator's Family Maintenance (Family Provision) cases, succeeded in having proceedings summarily dismissed in Kayser & Schauss [2025] FedCFamC2F 367, and defended estates against claims in How v How [2015] TASSC 4. He reviews the brief himself, explains the real options in plain English, and is the one in the courtroom. His main services include drink driving, restricted driver licences, traffic offences, firearms matters, family violence, sexual offences, children's matters, property matters, mediation, testator's family maintenance, and litigation.

Cameron Scott is a Hobart barrister who appears regularly in court and takes on briefs at short notice. Clients describe him as meticulous in preparing a case and confident in presenting it, with instructions forwarded quickly from solicitors and handled smoothly. Clear communication stands out across accounts: explanations at each stage, prompt replies and practical, candid advice that left people knowing where they stood. A theme that recurs is the blend of professionalism with an approachable, unassuming manner, one client calling him a genuine gentleman who avoids judgement when dealing with sensitive circumstances.

Numerous accounts tell of reaching the result they had hoped for, attributing this to his knowledge of the law and the assurance with which he argued their position. His readiness to put in extra effort for those he represents is raised time and again, as is the care he shows during stressful proceedings. Those who instructed him describe feeling informed and backed at every point, and more than one indicates they would turn to him again or pass his name on for future matters, including advocacy in court.
