Richard Bannerman - Principal

Richard completed his studies at Edinburgh University in Scotland and practiced law in Scotland for 10 years before coming to Western Australia with his family.

He then completed a transition course at the University of Western Australia before being admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor in the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 1998.

Richard commenced practicing at a boutique family law firm in Subiaco, where he became a partner.

Five years ago, Richard set up Bannerman Solicitors where he practices predominantly in family law, as well as some criminal matters and restraining order matters.

Soon after arriving from Scotland, Richard was appointed and became an Independent Children’s Lawyer and has handled about 300 cases representing children, often dealing with the most complicated and difficult child related matters.

Richard has also been instructed in many cases involving severe domestic violence.

He receives many referrals from other solicitors, barristers, single expert witnesses and staff at the Family Court of Western Australia.
