We had our wills, power of attorney and medical treatment decision makers documents finalised. The services were informative, friendly and clear from our first phone call to make the appointment, through to completion. The cost was reasonable for all three (x2 because there is two of us). I highly recommend Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers.

Where do I start!! What fantastic service from Trish, Jess and the team in organising and finalising my parents estate. At what is such a difficult time, they could not have been more helpful and professional but without the exorbitant fees that other Solicitors had quoted. Would definitely use them again. Thanks

I needed to get a letter written by a solicitor in relation to my deceased husband’s final pay from his employer. Beth at Wollerman Shacklock lawyer was fantastic.

Very happy with this service, speed, compassion and professionalism. Highly recommended.

Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers

Law Firm Melbourne

When life throws a legal issue your way, the last thing you want is a faceless firm that treats you like a file number. At Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers, we deliver real, down-to-earth legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses across Melbourne and the broader City of Casey area.

Principal Solicitor Patricia Sheedy (Trish) leads our team, and as an Accredited Property Law Specialist in Victoria, she brings specialist-level knowledge without the corporate coldness.

Whether you need help buying a home, drafting a Will, sorting a lease dispute, or structuring your business, you’ll find a law firm in Melbourne that listens first and advises honestly. We’ve built our practice on equality, respect, and integrity since Trish took over the firm in 2015, and every matter we handle reflects those values.

Legal Services Our Melbourne Law Firm Offers

Our small, specialist team handles a wide range of matters for Melbourne clients. You get a qualified lawyer (not just a paralegal or conveyancer) working on your file from start to finish.

Property Law and Conveyancing

Property matters are our strongest suit, and Trish’s accreditation reflects genuine depth in this area. We assist with:

  • Residential and commercial property purchases and sales.
  • Contract of sale review before you sign anything.
  • Conveyancing carried out by qualified lawyers.
  • Subdivisions, consolidations, and property developments.
  • Adverse possessions, easements, and covenants.
  • Retirement village purchases and SMSF property transactions.
  • Loan agreements, mortgages, and solicitor’s certificates.

Wills, Estates, and Powers of Attorney

Getting your affairs in order shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We guide clients through:

  • Drafting and reviewing Wills.
  • Estate planning tailored to your family situation.
  • Powers of Attorney and Medical Treatment Decision Makers.
  • Probate and letters of administration.
  • Deceased estate administration.
  • Will disputes and contested estates.

Commercial and Business Law

Running a business in Melbourne brings plenty of legal moving parts. Our commercial services include:

  • Business sale and purchase transactions.
  • Franchise, shareholders, and partnership agreements.
  • Companies and trusts advice.
  • Lease agreements, renewals, variations, and disputes.
  • Business succession planning.
  • Advice on business structures and joint ventures.

Plenty of people assume a discount conveyancer does the same job as a law firm. They don’t. Conveyancers can’t provide legal advice, so when something unexpected pops up mid-transaction (and it often does), you’ll end up paying a lawyer anyway. With us, the knowledge is built in from day one, and we fix your fee upfront.

    Questions People Ask Before Hiring a Melbourne Law Firm

    What's the difference between a lawyer and a conveyancer?

    A conveyancer can process the paperwork for a property transfer, but they cannot give legal advice. A qualified lawyer can do both, which matters the moment something complicated arises. With a law firm handling your conveyancing, you get legal protection built into the service.

    How quickly will I hear back after making an enquiry?

    We aim to respond to every enquiry within one business day. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 4:30pm. You can reach us by phone, email, or the enquiry form on our website, and a friendly team member will get back to you to arrange an appointment.

    What areas of law does Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers specialise in?

    Our Melbourne law firm focuses on three core areas: property law and conveyancing (led by an Accredited Property Law Specialist), Wills and estate planning (including Powers of Attorney, Wills and testamentary trusts), and commercial and business law (including commercial leases, business sales and shareholders’ agreements). We deliberately keep our focus narrow so we can deliver genuine expertise rather than covering too much ground at once.

    Is your law firm suitable for first-time property buyers or first-time Will makers?

    Yes. A large part of our practice involves helping people through a legal process for the first time. We explain each step clearly, use plain language rather than legal jargon, and quote fixed fees upfront so there are no financial surprises. Our aim is that you leave each appointment feeling more informed and confident, not more overwhelmed.

    What can I expect at a first appointment with Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers?

    A first appointment typically involves discussing your situation and goals with Trish or a team member, understanding the relevant legal process, and agreeing on the scope and cost of work. We don’t rush first appointments; getting a clear picture of your circumstances upfront saves time and avoids misunderstandings later. We’ll send a written fee agreement before beginning any work.

    Do you offer fixed-fee pricing?

    Yes. We provide fixed-fee upfront quotes for most matters so you know what you’re paying before we start. It’s part of our commitment to transparent, honest service.

    Where is your office located and is it accessible?

    Our office sits at Unit 2/43 Rainier Crescent, Clyde North VIC 3978. We offer on-site parking and wheelchair accessible entry, making it easy for clients across Melbourne and the City of Casey to visit us.

    Can you assist clients outside Clyde North?

    Absolutely. While we’re proudly based in Clyde North, we regularly assist clients across Melbourne with property, estate, and commercial law matters. Our digital systems make it easy to work together, wherever you’re based.
