Buying a home, signing a commercial lease, or sorting out a tricky subdivision is rarely as simple as ticking a few boxes. One missed clause in a contract of sale, one misread lease condition, and the costs can spiral fast. That’s where having the right property lawyer in Melbourne makes a genuine difference.
At Wollerman Shacklock Lawyers, we bring specialist property law knowledge to individuals, families and businesses across Melbourne and the wider City of Casey area, including Pakenham, Officer, Drouin and Nar Nar Goon. Our principal solicitor, Patricia Sheedy, is an Accredited Property Law Specialist in Victoria, a Law Institute of Victoria accreditation that reflects a genuinely high level of knowledge and practical experience.
Your matter may involve a straightforward purchase or a complicated commercial transaction or property issue, whatever it is you will have an experienced lawyer who knows the deal.
We handle the full spectrum of property law matters, working with both first-time buyers and seasoned investors across Melbourne and the Casey area, with dedicated services for clients in Berwick, Cranbourne, Narre Warren and surrounding suburbs.
Our Melbourne property law services include:
Whatever your matter is, you can be confident Trish can assist.
Many people assume a low-cost conveyancer offers the same service as a law firm. Conveyancers are not qualified to provide legal advice, so when a genuine issue pops up mid-transaction, such as a title defect, or an unexpected defect, which they do, you will need the assistance of a lawyer. By this stage, you will need to incur unexpected extra costs. With a property law specialist Melbourne buyers and sellers can rely on, you get both a conveyancer and a specialist property lawyer handling your matter from the outset, so you can buy or sell in confidence knowing any issues will be addressed before they get out of hand.
We build our process around keeping you informed and in control from the outset. We take the time to understand the transaction and your goals and provide you with a fixed fee estimate, so there are no surprises later.
Whether you’re about to sign a contract of sale, working through a difficult lease dispute, or you simply want to know where you stand, we are here to help. You get honest advice, a fixed fee, and a property lawyer in Melbourne who treats your matter with the care it deserves.

A property lawyer assists and provides guidance on anything property related, whether it is a simple conveyance to complex property issues or disputes. They do anything from reviewing contracts, handling conveyancing, advising on legal risks, negotiating or corresponding with the other side, and are your go-to if a dispute arises. Unlike a conveyancer, a lawyer can provide legal advice on any issue that crops up during your transaction.
It depends on the matter, but we quote on a fixed-fee basis so you know the cost upfront. That applies to residential conveyancing, commercial transactions, lease work and most other property matters.
The law doesn’t require you to use a lawyer, but signing a contract of sale is a significant legal commitment. Having a property law specialist review the contract before you sign can save you from expensive surprises later, particularly with off-the-plan or subdivided properties.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day and can usually book an appointment shortly after. If you’ve got a contract with a cooling-off period running, let us know when you call so we can prioritise it.
The Law Institute of Victoria awards Accredited Specialist status only to lawyers who pass a rigorous assessment process and demonstrate exceptional expertise in their field. They are also required to participate in regular training so they are kept up to date with any changes to legislation. Trish is one of roughly 75 Accredited Property Law Specialists in Victoria, so you can be sure your matter will be handled with expertise getting someone who is experienced and has expert knowledge, not a generalist who handles property files alongside everything else.
Off-the-plan contracts are typically more complex , and carry more risks than established properties. They include things such as sunset clauses, variations to finishes or plans, warranties, occupancy permits, delays in title registration and more . Established property conveyancing centres on the Contract of Sale, Section 32 Vendor’s Statement, and title documents. Both require a thorough legal review, but off-the-plan adds a layer of complexity that a property law specialist is best placed to advise you on.
Yes. Whether you’re a vendor preparing a Section 32 or a buyer reviewing one, we can help. A Section 32 discloses key information about the property, title, planning restrictions, outgoings, notices and more. Getting it wrong as a vendor can expose you to legal liability. Missing something or not understanding what the information means as a buyer can cost far more than the legal fees.
Yes. We help families transfer property between generations, gifts, sales, and inheritance situations. These transfers carry stamp duty, CGT and estate planning implications that vary by circumstance. It is crucial to obtain legal advice and we’ll help you understand what things you need to consider for your specific circumstance before any documents are signed.
