History of MSA National

Founded through the merger of several law firms specialising in mortgage settlements across Australia, MSA National emerged as a pivotal player in the mortgage industry.

The original merger included McKays Solicitors, Makhoul Symond Lawyers, Watson Lawyers, Clark Whyte Lawyers, and Kelly & Co, subsequently expanding to include Wallace, Wilkinson and Webster's mortgage division in Tasmania in 2007. This consolidation paved the way for MSA National to rebrand in 2013, emphasising its national reach and diverse service offerings beyond mortgage settlements.
