Most Australian legal practice is state-specific. Each state has its own Bar and Law Society, its own land titles regime, its own criminal code, and its own civil liability legislation. A lawyer practising in WA is admitted by the WA Supreme Court and holds a WA-issued practising certificate.
Federal practice areas (family law, migration, federal corporations and tax disputes) span the country, but the registry and court culture vary by city. The right lawyer for your matter is usually one practising in your state and city.
