Following some time spent studying commerce and ultimately completion of law with Honours at the University of Western Australian, Ian Clairs was admitted as both barrister and solicitor in 1979.

A keen eye for business and property has generally been mirrored by his chosen areas of legal practice although over the last decade Ian has notably expanded his skill set into estate planning, wills and binding financial agreements. Some may attribute this to age, others prudence.

Ever the pragmatist, Ian is focused on solutions rather than entrenched in processes. This is evidenced by his tight-knit working relationship with clients and their advisors, underpinned by the aim of creating circumstance-specific solutions.

Not 100% lawyer, Ian is part human and has more than a passing interest in rowing. Be it the fresh air or the synchronicity of man, machine and mother nature – he does rather enjoy starting the day on the water. Perhaps harking back to his affinity for business, he previously held the office of Treasurer at the Swan River Rowing Club and Vice President of Rowing WA.

Testimonials

Well Worth The Recommendation

I was tasked with settling my mother’s 20 year old estate, which was by no means either a straight forward or simple affair. Ian Clairs was recommended by a colleague and proved to be more than worth the recommendation. With changes in law, disputes between beneficiaries, Ian gave the effort, patience, knowledge, understanding and guidance to what was at times, a very frustrating saga and resulted in a more than satisfactory conclusion.

Kind Administration Of All My Legal Matters

Many thanks to Ian Clairs and all the team for your kind administration of all my legal matters.

Fast Response When I Needed It

Ian was able to offer guidance and legal advice with very little notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ian and the team at Clairs Keeley again. Excellent support when I needed it the most!
