Lawson Hyland was formed in 1983 when Wayne Lawson and the late Neville Hyland decided to merge their two independent practices into one. Carolyn Clegg joined the practice as a director in 1993 retiring in 1997. At this point both Mark and Jason joined the practice as accountants, coincidently both starting on the same day. In July 2000 Mark became a director. In 2003 Neville decided to semi-retire; sadly he passed away in December 2018. In 2008 Jason became a director at which point Wayne semi-retired, but has now fully retired. Mark and Jason now operate as a two partner firm.
