Michael Stork

Michael has worked for well-known firms both in Perth and interstate, and has represented clients in various state and federal courts and tribunals around Australia.

He is an advisor and advocate whose practice is now focused on business, property and strata disputes, as well as related insolvency and bankruptcy matters.

When a potential dispute arises, Michael works with his clients to place legal issues in a commercial context. He then provides practical legal guidance which matches the client's commercial objectives.

Michael is experienced in various alternative dispute resolution techniques. However, if litigation cannot be avoided, he is a formidable adversary who can match it with large, national, and international firms.

Michael's clients also seek advice from him in relation to front-end commercial and property matters due to his broad-based experience across a wide cross-section of practice areas.

Outside of law, Michael was a talented amateur sportsman, who has previously served as Director of Governance and Legal on the board of the WAFL’s East Fremantle Football Club (2014 – 2018) as well as being a former director of the Institute of Indigenous Wellbeing and Sport of WA Aboriginal Corporation (2019 – 2023).

Michael took up the role of Managing Principal of Stork Davies Legal Advisors in 2023.

Michael is also actively involved in the legal profession. Since 2025, he has been an Ordinary Member of the Law Society of Western Australia Council as well as being a member of the Law Society of Western Australia’s Property Law Committee.

He is also a regular contributor to CREW CPD which offers continuing professional development workshops and networking events which cater specifically to the Western Australian commercial real estate industry.

Michael is the father of two teenage boys and volunteers in a variety of roles which most recently has included taking on the position of President of the West Life Saving Club.
