For solicitors and small firms across Adelaide, whether the practice is a short walk from Victoria Square or out in Elizabeth, Port Adelaide or the Hills, built by our team on Hutt St. Each kind of matter you handle gets a page of its own, every practitioner's details line up with the Law Society's public register, and a first enquiry takes a minute without asking anyone to explain their whole situation.
Adelaide clients usually search by problem and by place: a parent's estate in Burnside, a drink-driving charge listed at Christies Beach, a separation in Golden Grove where nobody has moved out yet. Before they ring, they're checking three things: that you do that work under South Australian law, that you're admitted and practising, and what a first meeting with you involves and costs.
Separation and parenting, estates and family provision claims, traffic and drink-driving charges, unfair dismissal, commercial leases: each kind of work you take on deserves its own page, written by you. On it, say which matters you accept and which you send to other firms, which practitioner runs that work, and what a new client should bring along. Someone searching for their exact problem then lands on a page about it rather than a long list.
The Law Society of South Australia keeps the Register of Practising Certificates under section 20 of the Legal Practitioners Act 1981. It's open to the public and updated daily. Each profile on your site gives the practitioner's name as it appears there, a photo, the year of admission and areas of work, with a link to the register search, so a cautious reader can confirm a current certificate without phoning reception.
The profession here is fused: graduates are admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of South Australia, and a lawyer can do both kinds of work. Others practise exclusively as barristers on a Category BA certificate. Whatever a profile says should match the certificate that person holds, and a firm that briefs counsel can say so on the pages where it matters.
Accreditation belongs to an individual in one area of law, so we put it on that practitioner's profile beside the area, with the logo exactly as supplied, and keep firm-wide pages to wording you've approved. In South Australia that's family, immigration or tax law accreditation through the national program, or wills and estates under the Law Society's own scheme.
Type of matter, suburb, a safe number and time to call, whether a voicemail is all right, and any court date already set, such as a first appearance at Elizabeth or Port Adelaide. If you run a conflict check before speaking to anyone, the form asks for the other party's name and says why, with a note asking people to hold back documents until you've confirmed you can act. We can also link the booking tool you already use, such as Calendly, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted for your firm.
A starting fee for fixed-price work such as a simple will, a plain account of how other matters are billed, and whether the first meeting is charged and how long it runs. South Australia's conduct rules include a rule specific to this state, 16A, about telling clients when they may be eligible for help from the Legal Services Commission or the Litigation Assistance Fund. If you take legally aided matters, a line on the fees page naming the areas saves a phone call on both sides.
Since 1 July 2026, lawyers who help clients buy or sell real estate, set up companies or handle money for a transaction can have obligations under the federal anti-money laundering laws, and the Law Society amended the South Australian conduct rules in June 2026 to support that start. Where those obligations apply to your firm, the property and business pages can warn new clients that you'll need to verify their identity before acting. Whether they apply is a question for you and AUSTRAC's guidance; we place the wording you settle on.
Outside the Uniform Law. The Legal Profession Uniform Law applies in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, but not here. South Australian lawyers practise under the Legal Practitioners Act 1981 and the South Australian Legal Practitioners Conduct Rules, which the Council of the Law Society first adopted in July 2011 and last amended on 1 June 2026. Part A is the state's version of the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules, keeping the national numbering apart from the added rule 16A; Part B covers practitioners who practise only as barristers. Rule 36 on advertising reads as it does interstate: promotion of a practitioner or practice must not be false, misleading, deceptive, offensive or prohibited by law, and the words “accredited specialist” are kept for those accredited by the relevant professional association. Our Sydney lawyers page goes through that rule in more depth. The Law Society issues practising certificates, and complaints about a lawyer's conduct or fees go to the Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner, which also keeps a Register of Disciplinary Action. Since 1 September 2026 disciplinary charges have been heard by the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) instead of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal, so a client information page that still names the old tribunal needs a one-line update.
Accreditation and the See a Lawyer service. The Law Society recognises accreditation in family, immigration and taxation law gained through the national program run by the Law Institute of Victoria, explained on our Melbourne lawyers page. Its own state program covers wills and estates, set against professional standards specific to South Australian law, and the next intake is expected to start in 2028. The Society's public page lists accredited specialists with their firm and area and tells readers to look for the logo and certificate, so a profile showing the same details is easy to check. The Society also runs the See a Lawyer Referral Service, which connects people with law practices by area of law and preferred location. If you take referrals that way, your practice-area pages and suburbs should match what the service has on file, and the enquiry form can ask how the person found you.
Estates pages written before 2025. The Succession Act 2023 came into operation on 1 January 2025 and replaced the Wills Act 1936, the Inheritance (Family Provision) Act 1972 and the Administration and Probate Act 1919. It also changed who can claim against an estate; former domestic partners, for example, can now be eligible where no property settlement or agreement with the deceased was in force. A wills page that still cites the 1936 Act tells a reader it hasn't been looked at in a while. You write the updated explanation, and on a site we build and host, swapping it in is a text change covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Courts around Victoria Square, and in the suburbs. In the city are the Adelaide Magistrates Court at 260–280 Victoria Square, the District Court in the Sir Samuel Way Building at 241–259 Victoria Square, the Youth Court at 75 Wright Street, and the Federal Circuit and Family Court registry in the Roma Mitchell Commonwealth Law Courts Building at 3 Angas Street. Since 1 July 2010, property disputes between separating de facto couples in South Australia have generally come under the federal Family Law Act, usually with a two-year time limit, so property matters for married and de facto clients alike generally go to the Federal Circuit and Family Court. Suburban Magistrates Courts sit at 15 Frobisher Road, Elizabeth, at 260 St Vincent Street, Port Adelaide, and at 96 Dyson Road, Christies Beach, and the court also visits Mount Barker, Tanunda and Victor Harbor on circuit. Naming the courts you really attend, on the page for that work, tells someone with a listing at Elizabeth or Christies Beach that you'll be there. We don't add pages for places you don't cover.
Working with us. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St in the city. Most of our projects run by phone and email, Adelaide ones included, which suits practitioners who spend their mornings in court and answer email at night; if you'd like to sit down with us before work starts, that can be arranged. We haven't yet built a site for a South Australian law firm. The two projects below are the closest: a Sydney family law dispute resolution practice, and an Adelaide professional service whose quote form shows fee ranges.
Neither is a law firm. Resolve Forward hears from separating families at a hard moment, much as a family lawyer does, and Simple Engineers deals with Adelaide clients who want an idea of cost before they make contact. Between them they show a priced first step, structured intake and articles that answer common questions before anyone calls.
Family law dispute resolution in Sydney, from mediation and child-inclusive mediation to parenting coordination and arbitration. Priced packages link to online booking, a five-step intake form gathers the background, and six service pages sit beside an FAQ. That order suits an Adelaide practice that charges a set amount for an initial property settlement meeting.

Structural engineers in Adelaide who design retaining walls, slabs and stormwater systems. Pick a service on the quote form and an estimated fee range appears; plans and photos can be attached, and 16 articles sit alongside it. A firm could show a range for fixed-fee wills or conveyances the same way, and publish short guides on South Australian law under its own name.

Only a lawyer who holds the accreditation, and only for their accredited area. Rule 36.2 of the South Australian conduct rules reserves those words for practitioners accredited by the relevant professional association. Here that means family, immigration or tax law through the Law Institute of Victoria's program, which the Law Society recognises, or wills and estates under the Society's own scheme. We place it on that person's profile with the logo exactly as supplied. If you're unsure about a phrase, the Law Society is the place to ask before launch.
Yes. The Succession Act 2023 replaced the Wills Act 1936, the Inheritance (Family Provision) Act 1972 and the Administration and Probate Act 1919 from 1 January 2025, and changed who can bring a family provision claim. You supply the revised wording and we swap it in. On a site we host, that's a text change on an existing page, covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
If that's how the person practises, yes. Admission in South Australia is as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court, and a lawyer here can do both. Someone who practises only at the bar holds a Category BA certificate, and their profile should say so instead. Either way, the name on the profile should match the Law Society's Register of Practising Certificates, and we link each profile to the register search.
You can mention that clients may reach you through it, but avoid wording that suggests the Society recommends your firm: its own page says a listing doesn't mean the Society endorses the practitioner or firm. What matters more is consistency. If the service lists you for family law in the northern suburbs, the site should show a family law page and your northern office, and the enquiry form can ask whether the person was referred.
Which areas you take legal aid work in, on the fees page and the relevant practice pages. Rule 16A of the South Australian conduct rules deals with telling clients when they may be eligible for help from the Legal Services Commission or the Litigation Assistance Fund, so a reader who sees it on your site arrives knowing to ask. For people you can't help, the Legal Services Commission's Free Legal Helpline, 1300 366 424, is a reasonable number to list on your contact page.
Yes. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide SA 5000; call 0451 072 412 to set a time. If your diary is full of court, the job can run by email instead: you send your words, photos and practitioner details, we send a draft link, partners comment when it suits them, and you pay only once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
Send us the areas of law you take on, who's in the practice, and the courts and suburbs you cover. We'll quote first and build a draft for you to review, and nothing is payable until you approve it.
