Young & Young

What Young & Young does

Young & Young is a family-owned and operated law firm headquartered at 5 Spencer Street, Bunbury, Western Australia, delivering traditional legal services to communities across the South West of Western Australia since 1957. The firm serves individual consumers and small matters across five core practice areas: family law (parenting disputes, property settlements, divorce, de facto matters, child support), criminal law (defence for serious and minor offences, traffic matters, restraining orders, bail applications, trials and appeals), compensation law (personal injury, workers' compensation, motor vehicle accidents, fatal accidents, criminal injuries compensation), property law and land settlements (transactions, litigation, securities), and wills, estates, and succession planning (wills, testamentary trusts, enduring powers of attorney and guardianship, advance health directives, binding death benefit nominations, estate administration and disputed estates). Service delivery is through a 9-person team of lawyers, in-house counsel, settlement clerks, and paralegals, with capability to litigate in all Western Australian jurisdictions including the State Administrative Tribunal, and offers after-hours and electronic-mode appointments.

The firm's underlying technology is standard regional law firm tooling: a Squarespace-hosted website, a Leap Web enquiry form, general practice and case management software, and traditional communications (phone, facsimile, email). There are no disclosed proprietary technology platforms, APIs, integrations, or AI capabilities; service delivery is fundamentally human-led and relationship-based.

Young & Young makes money through hourly professional services billing, with rates discussed with clients before appointments and billed monthly. The firm emphasises competitive rates and cost-effective outcomes as a country, family-owned practice, and supplements fee-earning work with a tradition of pro bono services and legal aid, including through its founding role in the Bunbury Community Legal Centre. It also maintains a satellite presence in Collie, broadening its regional catchment.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Jackson McDonald: Larger full-service Western Australian law firm headquartered in Perth. Comparable because it practices across similar areas (litigation, commercial, property) and serves WA clients, though it operates at metro scale with a broader corporate focus rather than regional family/criminal work.
• Slater and Gordon: National Australian plaintiff law firm with strong personal injury, compensation, and family law practices. Comparable because it competes directly in Young & Young's compensation law and family law segments, but at much larger scale and with significant marketing investment.
• Maurice Blackburn: Leading Australian plaintiff firm specializing in compensation, employment, and family law. Directly comparable service overlap with Young & Young's compensation and family law offerings, though Maurice Blackburn operates nationally with significantly greater brand and resources.
• Shine Lawyers: National Australian plaintiff law firm with compensation, family, and estate disputes practices. Comparable in the compensation and family law segments, with overlapping regional WA presence and similar client demographics.

Emerging players

• Armstrong Legal: Mid-sized Australian law firm with practices in family law, criminal law, and conveyancing. Comparable in service mix and small/mid-firm positioning, though it has invested more heavily in digital marketing and online client acquisition than Young & Young.
• Legal Aid Western Australia: Government-funded legal services provider in WA. Comparable because Young & Young performs legal aid and pro bono work across family, criminal, and other matters, and Legal Aid represents an alternative channel for the same client base in regional WA.
• Bunbury Community Legal Centre: Community legal centre in Bunbury that Young & Young was instrumental in founding. Comparable because it provides free legal services to the same regional WA client base, representing both a partner and a partial alternative for cost-sensitive clients.

Regional players

• HopgoodGanim Lawyers: Full-service WA law firm based in Perth. Comparable in serving WA clients with broad practice areas (property, litigation, family), though oriented toward corporate and government rather than regional individual clients.
• Lavan Legal: Prominent Perth-based Western Australian law firm with full-service practice. Comparable as a WA-headquartered general practice firm, though focused on corporate/commercial clients rather than Young & Young's individual/family client base.

Others

• Australasian Legal Practice Institute (ALP) Member Firms: Network of independent regional and suburban Australian law firms. Comparable as peer set of similar small/medium-sized practices serving local clients across Australia, often with overlapping service offerings and similar operating models.
