Who We Are

As one of the largest independent law firms in Western Australia, we have 12 lawyers covering a broad range of legal services (see the broad range of legal services under “Areas of Law”).

Our head office is in the Central Business District of the City of Perth – near State and Federal courts, government registries and in the heart of the financial and corporate sectors.

We have offices in the Town of Kwinana (35 kms south of the City of Perth) and in the City of Joondalup (25 kms north of the City of Perth).  These offices are regularly attended by us and are connected through information technology to, and supported by, head office’s resources to maintain high quality professional services.

We have network connections to law firms in all States and Territories in Australia through our “Australian Legal Network”, and connections with 55 law firms worldwide through our “International Legal Network”, both networks having been founded and administered by us.

We are widely regarded in Western Australia as the best known “all services” law firm for business and private clients. 

What We Do

We have a range of clients in the Corporate Services Division from husband and wife business partnerships to large property developers, both within Australia and internationally (for example, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the United Kingdom).  We advise financial planners, accountants and other professionals.  We give industry focussed specialist business advice to trades and industry suppliers, and small and medium enterprise businesses.  

The Commercial Litigation Division has assisted clients in court representation at all levels, including Local, District, Supreme and Federal Courts and specialist tribunals on issues ranging from corporate governance, shareholders disputes, property and contractual disputes, to restraint of trade and Trade Practices disputes.

Our Personal Injury and Insurance Services Division has the distinction of notching up three “wins” in the High Court, a rare feat bearing in mind that permission is only granted to appeal to the High Court in special cases of national legal importance to Australia.  In doing so, we assisted our clients on a ‘No Success – No Legal Fees’ basis because of the importance of the legal issues to be raised with the highest court in Australia.

Our Family Law Services Division has conducted cases from simple issues to complex matters, arising from marriage and defacto relationships, including property settlements, superannuation issues, family companies, trust matters, children's issues, divorce and binding financial agreements.

The Estate Planning Group within the Commercial/Corporate Services Division is highly regarded and numbers amongst its high profile clients members of Parliament, sports celebrities and well known businessmen.
