About
We are a commercial law practice with a presence in both the Perth CBD and Fremantle’s west end.
Our focus is on property, commercial, and litigation matters.
Our senior lawyers offer real insight in their areas of expertise, and can see the larger picture where others can’t.
We take pride in our ability to accurately triage complex legal challenges, and put in place effective strategies to meet them.
Originating from a sole practice in 2015, Stork Davies remains small but punches above its weight, and this is recognised by both its clients and its peers in the legal profession.
We are currently the only truly small firm ranked in the highest tier of metropolitan Perth real property and leasing law practices in Best Law Firms™ - Australia.
In addition, Stork Davies is one of only a handful of small firms to regularly feature in recent Doyle's Guide listings of Leading Property & Real Estate Law Firms in Western Australia, having ranked in those listings for seven consecutive years from 2020 to 2026.
We were also a finalist in the Business News 2024 WA Business Awards, and a professional services runner-up in the Business News 2019 Rising Star Awards.
