Frequently asked questions — Western Australia

What happens after I submit my enquiry?
Most WA enquiries are routed to a partner firm without delay, including out of hours via our 24/7 AI agent. Urgent matters — bail applications, restraining-order hearings, after-hours arrests — are prioritised in the queue.
Do you cover regional WA, including the Pilbara and Kimberley?
Yes. Coverage extends to Bunbury, Albany, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Broome, and circuit-court towns across the Pilbara and Kimberley. Because partner-firm density drops outside the metropolitan and major regional centres, we tell you during intake which partner firm services your town and what travel may be needed for in-person work.
Does WA have its own Family Court?
Yes. Western Australia has its own state Family Court (the Family Court of Western Australia), which exercises both state and federal family-law jurisdiction. We route WA family-law enquiries to partner firms who appear regularly in the FCWA.
What is SAT and who appears in it?
The State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia hears commercial, planning, guardianship, vocational regulation, and administrative-review matters. Legal representation is permitted in most SAT proceedings. Our intake identifies the correct SAT stream before routing.
Can I speak with a WA lawyer by phone or video?
Yes. Phone and video consultations are standard, particularly for regional clients. In-person meetings are available across Perth and the major regional centres.
Are the partner firms registered to practise in WA?
Every firm in our WA network is registered with the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia and holds a current practising certificate. We verify this at onboarding.
Do you handle mining and resources-sector legal work?
Yes, particularly in the personal-injury, employment, and commercial practice areas where mining and resources work is well-represented. We route mining-sector enquiries to partner firms whose practice includes the relevant industrial framework or contracting model.
