For Perth solicitors and small practices, whether the office is on St Georges Terrace, in Joondalup or down in Mandurah: a page for each area of law you take on, practising details a client can look up on the Legal Practice Board's register, and a first-contact form that respects how sensitive a legal problem can be.
A Perth client usually arrives with a specific problem and a suburb in mind: a separation in Baldivis, a drink-driving charge listed at Joondalup, an estate to settle after a parent dies in Midland. Before calling, they want to see that you handle that kind of matter under WA law, that you hold a current practising certificate, and what the first conversation will involve.
Western Australia has its own Family Court, the only state family court in Australia. Married couples come under the federal Family Law Act, while most disputes between unmarried couples are decided under WA's own Family Court Act 1997, so a de facto separation usually deserves a page of its own, in your words, apart from divorce and parenting.
The Law Society of Western Australia accredits specialists in family law and in wills and estates. An accredited solicitor can be described as, for example, a “Family Law Accredited Specialist”, with the post-nominal AccS(Fam) or AccS(Wills&Estates) in exactly the form the rules set. The rules describe accreditation as an individual practitioner's attainment that doesn't pertain to the firm, so we place it with that solicitor's profile rather than presenting it as the practice's.
Each profile gives the solicitor's name, photo, year of admission and areas of work, with a link to the Legal Practice Board's Find a Lawyer database. There a client can see practising status, certificate category and conditions, and the solicitor's primary law practice.
For family and restraining order work, a quick-exit button takes the reader straight off your site, with a note that it doesn't erase browsing history. The Law Society of WA's own Find a Lawyer page carries exactly that caveat. The form stays short: the type of matter, the suburb, a safe number and time to call, and any court date already set.
In WA a property settlement can be arranged by a licensed settlement agent or by a certified legal practitioner. If you act on purchases and sales, say whether your firm settles in-house or works alongside a settlement agent, and give a “from” fee for fixed-price work such as a simple will or a residential purchase, with what that fee covers.
Your office address, nearest train station or bus route, and parking notes for city visits. Clients in regional WA, or on fly-in fly-out rosters, may never come to the office, so say whether a first meeting can happen by phone or video and how documents reach you. We can link a booking tool you already use, such as Calendly, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted for your practice.
Same conduct rules, a different regulator. Western Australia joined the Legal Profession Uniform Law scheme on 1 July 2022, so Perth solicitors work under the same Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules as colleagues in New South Wales and Victoria. Rule 36, which bars false, misleading, deceptive or offensive advertising and reserves “accredited specialist” for those actually accredited, is explained on our Sydney lawyers page. What's local is the regulator. The Legal Practice Board of Western Australia issues practising certificates, which run to 30 June each year, with renewals opening on 1 May. The Board also deals with complaints about WA lawyers, and its Legal Services and Complaints Committee, which holds the Board's delegated powers over dispute resolution and professional discipline, decides whether disciplinary action is needed in the most serious matters. The Board's Find a Lawyer database, previously called Find a Practitioner, lists lawyers admitted in WA and those holding a current WA practising certificate.
How accreditation works here. The Law Society's Specialist Accreditation Scheme began in 1992 with family law; wills and estates followed, with its first assessment program run in 2025. Under the Accreditation Rules 2026, in force from 1 April 2026, a specialist keeps accreditation only while they remain a financial member of the Law Society, hold a current practising certificate, renew each year and complete at least ten specialist CPD units a year. During an approved leave of absence a specialist may keep holding themselves out as accredited unless the Accreditation Committee directs otherwise. A WA specialist advertising outside the state has to name it, as in “Wills and Estates Accredited Specialist (Western Australia)”, and the logo may be used only as the rules and the Law Society's guidelines allow. For other areas of law, the Law Society refers members to the programs run in Victoria, NSW and Queensland. Questions about particular wording belong with the Law Society; we don't give compliance advice.
A family court of its own. The Family Court of Western Australia hears married couples' matters under the federal Family Law Act and, under WA's Family Court Act 1997, parenting and financial disputes between unmarried parties. Legal Aid WA's guidance on de facto relationships describes a two-year limit after separation for property applications, a relationship of at least two years unless an exception applies, and a connection to WA such as having lived here for at least a third of the relationship. Since 28 September 2022, separating de facto couples in WA have also been able to split superannuation. Pages that set out the WA position in your own words help a reader tell quickly whether their situation fits. The court is at 150 Terrace Road, on the corner of Victoria Avenue: the Terrace Road entrance leads to the registry on the first level, while the Victoria Avenue entrance is shared with the Federal Court. A short page on getting there and which door to use saves clients a phone call.
Where Perth clients go to court. The Magistrates Court sits at the Central Law Courts, 501 Hay Street, and at metropolitan courthouses in Joondalup (Reid Promenade), Midland (Spring Park Road), Armadale (Third Road), Fremantle (Holdsworth Street) and Rockingham (Whitfield Street), with Mandurah's on Pinjarra Road further south. Naming the courthouses you actually attend, on the page for that kind of work, tells someone with a matter listed at Armadale or Joondalup that you'll be there with them. We don't add pages for places you don't cover.
Working with us from Adelaide. We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and build for Perth practices by phone and email. Perth is 1.5 hours behind Adelaide, or 2.5 hours while South Australia is on daylight saving from early October to early April, and we arrange calls around your working day. We haven't yet built a site for a WA law firm. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, and the closest to your work is Resolve Forward, a Sydney family law dispute resolution practice.
Neither client is a law firm, and neither is in WA. Resolve Forward deals with separating families, the same anxious first contact a Perth family lawyer gets, and Dr Tabara Dione's site pairs a professional's credentials with a confidential first call.
Built for a Sydney practice that helps separating families settle disputes outside court. Clients can choose a priced package and book it online, and a five-step intake form means the practitioner has the background before anyone sits down. A Perth family lawyer offering a fixed-fee first appointment could use the same structure.

Confidential coaching for doctors, run by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist. Her about page sets out her credentials, and a discovery call can be booked online from any page: the same pairing of checkable qualifications and a private first conversation that a solicitor's profile needs.

Yes, where that's where your clients' matters are heard. It's the only state family court in Australia, and it decides disputes between unmarried couples under WA's Family Court Act 1997 as well as federal matters for married couples. You write the explanation; we lay it out so a reader can quickly tell whether their situation fits, and link to the court's own pages for forms and directions.
Only for a solicitor who holds the accreditation, and the rules treat it as that individual's attainment rather than the firm's, so it belongs with their profile. The Accreditation Rules 2026 allow the logo to be used in line with the rules and the Law Society's guidelines, and set the post-nominals as AccS(Fam) and AccS(Wills&Estates). A specialist advertising outside WA must also name the state in which they're accredited. We place the logo exactly as supplied; the Law Society answers questions about its use.
To the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia's Find a Lawyer database. It shows each lawyer's practising status, certificate category and conditions, and primary law practice, so a link on every profile lets a client confirm the details without ringing your office.
It's worth having for family law and restraining order work. The button sends the reader to a neutral page at once. It can't clear their browsing history, and the site should say so, as the Law Society of WA's own Find a Lawyer page does alongside a pointer to the eSafety Commissioner's tips on web browsers. We build the button and the note; you approve the wording.
In WA a settlement can be arranged by a licensed settlement agent or by a certified legal practitioner, so tell clients which applies at your firm, what you handle from contract to settlement, and a “from” fee if you have one. Our page for conveyancers covers property-focused sites in more detail.
By phone and email. You send your words, photos and solicitor details, we build a draft and send you the link, and you ask for as many changes as you like before paying anything. Perth is 1.5 or 2.5 hours behind Adelaide depending on the season, so we arrange calls around your day. We reply within 24 hours.
Let us know which matters you take on, who's in the practice and whether clients come to the office or call from around WA. We'll come back with a quote and a draft, and nothing is payable until you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
